Instead of spend time/effort to correct the problem cause by chassis, it would be much easier to use right chassis type for different surface, and spend the valuable time on fine tune setting.
Well, yes and no.
Because it does not always work according to logic. Sometimes a softer car is better even if you run foam, and oposite you can sometimes run stiffer settings with rubber.
Guidlines are OK, but please have in mind one of the most important things, and that is that knowledge about your car, not your friends, or competitors, no matter brand, is the key to the success. Ability to think complex, and being able to alanyze, in order to quickly find the right way to a better set-up after one practice run. Yes, indeed, you need a good basic set up, but have in mind that itīs what work for you, thatīs count. And you hardly never do that by looking at other, and there set-up sheets. The trick is to have them asking for yours Then, you are at least one step ahead of them
