Default Track Day EDFC settings anyone?

I have Tein Flexes with the newer 12kg springs, and Hotchkis sways....running Michelin PS2's.

Can someone give me some good EDFC settings for an upcoming track day?

Tire pressure recommendations would be helpful too.

Thanks!

Settings will depend on what track you're at. Which one are you going to?

I am going to track in Savannah, GA. I have never been there. Even some basic pointers about how the cars behavior will change with different EDFC settings/tire pressures would be helpful. So hopefully, I can quickly dial in my car.

I would say as a guess depending on track conditions...

12 in the rear... 0 up front...

that being 0 the stiffest and 16 the softest...

i think thats the way it goes...

You going to Roebling Road? That's a cool track. It was my favorite track when I was road racing motorcycles. Has a good mix of slow to medium speed turns and a good straightaway. Not too difficult of a track and lots of fun.

Turns 1 & 2 are kinda flat right handers you should try to single apex those. Turn 3 is a nice sweeping left hander that tightens up near the end and you slow down for turn 4 to the right. Turns 5 & 6 are more like a long U shape then goes slightly downhill into turns 7 & 8, they a little off camber with a short straight into turn 9. Setup 9 to get on the gas early to get a good run down the straight. And your ready to start it all over again.

Have fun burning those tires up!!!

Roebling Road's asphalt is pretty rough (very grippy), and will wear down your tires quickly since there are a lot of sweeping turns. Since this is your first time on track (I'm making that assumption), I wouldn't worry about playing with the settings too much as you are going to want to focus on your driving. I'd set the dampening to maybe 1/3rd stiff in the front and rear. What tire size are you running? Do you have the 12kg/mm spring in the front or rear (or both)?

Yes....12kg front and rear. And yes...first time on the track.

Good thing I just spent $1500 on a new set of Michelin PS2's.

I plan on turning the boost down to 6psi, and just getting used to the feel of the car on the track. I will be taking it pretty easy.

Then I wouldn't worry too much about playing with the settings. Just set them the same front and rear, and focus on your driving. Oh, and have fun!
