How to calculate setup?
One of the most important things a rookie should know is to calculate his setup properly. A perfect setup can drastically improve lap timings, and it doesn't cost anything at all.
One of the basic things you must understand before learning how to setup a car is the 'Driver Happy Zone'
When you setup a car, a driver will, at some point not comment on a particular part. He might even say that he is satisfied with the setup. However, this does not mean that the setup you have achieved is the ideal setup. This is because a driver is happy over a big range of setups. The term 'happy zone' or 'happy range' is used to refer to the range over with the driver is happy with the setup. This range changes according to some factors, about which I will discuss later on.
So, suppose the ideal setting of a gearbox is 150, and the driver has a happy zone of 50, this means that the driver will be happy for all the values between 125 and 175 for the gearbox. Since speed for gearbox of 150 will be better than that for 125 or 175, you will be faster if you find the exact value (150) instead of using just any value your driver is happy with.
If the TI and Experience of a driver is low, it makes finding the ideal value even more important because of the time you can save.
So, how to calculate the ideal setup?
Step 1:
Find out the happy zone for your driver using the following formula:
H = 135 - 0.3*Technical Insight - 0.1*Experience
where H is the happy zone of the driver.
Step 2:
Find out the highest (or lowest) point the driver is happy at for all the parts. This is quite easy to achieve in 5-6 laps if you have raced on that track before.
Step 3:
Subtract (if you have found the highest setup value) or add (if you have found the lowest setup value) half the value of happy zone (calculated from the above formula) and you will get the perfect setup for your car.
Notes:
1) A setup of a car is a function to many attributes. These include your car CCPs, the wear on your car, your driver's attributes as well as the temperature and the humidity. It is, hence advisable that you calculate ideal setup for each and every race instead of relying on someone else to give you the ideal setup, because that will be impossible.
2) Some stats of the Technical Director affect the happy zones of a driver too. I will not tell you exactly how (however, I will tell you that the happy zone always decreases) since you will get a TD only when you get to Pro and you should be able to figure things out by yourself by then.

Let's see how to find the setup you like the rider in a simple way :

It starts by setting for each part to set the value 512.

At this point, the controls are repeated by increasing or decreasing before 128 , then 64 , 32 , 16, .. and so on until you find the setup you like to the pilot. Usually with this technique in 4/ 5 laps setup is good. To facilitate the search for the setup , you can help with information about the circuit on the ' Downforce ' and ' Suspension rigidity .' For example, ' Downforce: Medium ' , starting from 512 if the pilot is not satisfied, instead of increase (or decrease ) of 256, it feels directly from 128 downwards. If ' Downforce : High', instead of starting from 512 , is now part of 768 (512 +256 ) and based on the comment of the pilot increases or decreases by 128. If ' Downforce : Low', instead of starting from 512 , is now part of 256 ( 512-256 ) and based on the comment of the pilot increases or decreases by 128. Same goes for the suspension.

Usually once the pilot is satisfied with the setup found , it is said to be the optimum setting , this is because every driver has a margin of acceptance within which say that it is always satisfied. For example, if the optimum setting of the exchange is 375 , but your pilot has a margin of 100 points of acceptance , it means that between 325 and 425 will always tell you that it's OK , but of course if you say OK 425 will not have the same performance of 375 . Finding the optimal setup can also make you gain 0.5 seconds in each section of qualifications ( 0.5 s in Q1 + Q2 = 0.5 s 1s in Grid) . To determine the margin of Acceptance (MA) of your driver using the following formula:

As will be easy to see the technical knowledge and experience are used to reduce the area of acceptance and the smaller the area the easier it is to find the optimal setup . So in choosing a good driver as well as the talent take into consideration the technical knowledge and experience. For example, if a driver has 25 Technique Experience and 175 of its Zone of Acceptance will be 110 , while 175 Technique and Experience 25 will be accepted as an area of ​​80.

Another important factor is the setting of the ailerons , as it is the sum of the 2 values ​​to give satisfaction , for example, if the pilot is satisfied with the front wing and rear 600 means that the value of satisfaction is 1200 ( 600 + 600 ) , this means that even if you put 500 front and 700 rear (or vice versa ) , the pilot will always be satisfied (500 +700 = 1200) , but it may perform better or worse , this depends very much on the pilot . once you find the optimal setup with the ailerons to the same value to rehearse putting forward -50 and +50 rear ( or vice versa if you see worse ) without evidence can understand how you prefer your pilot ailerons and so will most races to do.

Another factor not to be underestimated are the temperatures which affect both the setup for Q1 , is to know how to change the initial setup for the Q2/Race .

The data reported below are for guidance only , for many are fine, but for others it may not be optimal , the best way to find accurate data is to make the Test

From Q1 to Q2 if the weather changes from dry to wet or vice versa, you have to change the settings found with the experience and the various tests, you will succeed in time to find the right value to be attributed to the new setup, for now we give you an indication of how to change the setup from Q1 to Q2. To find the most appropriate data to you, even in this case, it is advisable to do the Test

This New Research Tool Setup differs from the previous one by the fact that the values ​​are no longer calculated in an approximate way, but are determined based on the answers that your pilot will give you.

E 'can choose whether to display messages in Italian (ITA) or English (ENG).

Also in this version of the tool is not taken into account the value MA (Net Express) that will be implemented in future versions.
