GP3F - Longwy

Tom Maquel's gp3f set up uses F1 battery position. One back from fully forward, or all the way forward? On the set up sheet its R1 R2 F1 F2, suggesting R2 and F1 are the two middle positions..on the pdf instruction manual pg31 its F1 F2 R2 R1 which says something quite different. Maybe I got something wrong so I could do with some clarification here.

So the F1 is for me the second front setting. F2 is the all forward, r2 the all rear position.

The A700 is quit differnet in battery position than on other cars...

Most of the mainstream cars if you move the battery forwards it give you more steering ...

On the A700 it make the car less nervous.

Concerning my GP3F setup I have to say that we was using handout tires from LRP, the CPX ..

This tires is pretty unique in his design with a very low profile.

The main problem for me was due to the very low center of gravity of the a700 the car is not "rolling" in the corners. Running on Sorex or ride tires this is a big advantage cause the tires does not overheat and so you can run 5minutes very constant and make less errors.

On a CPX tires when the car does not "roll" you will not get any temperatur into the tires and this result into a very pushing car after the first 2 laps.

That's why I changed the downstops and also the reardiff.

After does changes i was able to run the fastest laps on the track and challenge for the win ...
