Start with trying to stay in the center of the track without crashing. Once you have that down start tightening up the line a little bit. Learning setup takes time and effort. But it is worth it to do so. I've been doing this for over 15 years now and I'm still learning stuff all the time.

Very true and right now I am not worried about where I place but am I improving and how to get that improvement in myself. I have gotten my consistancy up where I think it should be for a first time driver but what I need help with now is my setup and how to get better steering, rear grip and overall consistancy to the car and the way it handles.

Does anyone have a cause and effect sheet for tires, springs, oil and suspension changes?

Thanks again
