Open Track Driving
I've signed up for an open track session in Nashville Speedway this weekend and I need some advice from anyone that has Tokico D specs. What setting would you use for corner carving?

I've found that a good starting point is 3 turns from full hard for the fronts and 2 turns from full hard for the rear. Adjust from there, but keep a 1-2 turn difference between the fronts and rears.

Absolutely. Seems to helps the car take a set better, and rotate better. Many of the autocrossers set the rear at full hard and the fronts a turn or two softer.
