Gonky Setup Doctor

A simple setup guide based on what the car is doing: entry, mid-corner, exit, braking, kerbs and tyres.

Setup type

Fixed setup

For locked setup servers: only fast useful checks, no overload.

Car map

Front axle

Tap a zone and read setup by symptoms, not by random sliders.

Mental map

Think by phase. Entry issues point to brake/diff/coast. Mid-corner points to balance and aero. Exit points to power diff and traction.

Anti-roll bars

Balance tool: stiffer front adds understeer, stiffer rear adds oversteer.

Differential

Controls how locked the driven wheels feel off throttle, neutral and on power.

Wings / downforce

Works mostly at speed: front wing helps rotation, rear wing calms the rear.

Tyres

Pressure, camber and toe decide grip, heat and tyre life.

Dampers / bumpstops

Control platform, kerbs, bottoming and how fast the car reacts.

Quick questions

How do I fix understeer in AMS2?

Start with the phase. Entry points to brake bias, coast diff or front ARB; mid-corner points to mechanical/aero balance; exit points to power diff and traction.

What if the car oversteers on throttle?

First soften Power Ramp or reduce locking, then check rear ARB, rear toe and hot pressures. Do not hide everything with traction control.

What should I tune when brakes lock?

For front locks, move brake bias slightly rearward or lower pressure. For rear locks, move bias forward and stabilize coast diff or engine braking.

Should I change many setup values at once?

No. Change one thing, test three laps on warm tyres and save each version with a clear name.
