Are you one of those who spent the time trying to find the best Nascar Heat 5 setups at Richmond only to be let down due to lack of good setups?
Richmond is a twisty Boy and I know for sure that any racer worth the salt absolutely needs a considerable NASCAR Cup setup in NH5.
If you’re trying to fight your way into the low 20.0s then you should have a suitable racecar setup ready because it increases your chances of success.
You’d want to apply a -2.0 negative and a 4.3 positive on the asymmetrical stance as it is going to be helpful in oval.
That is because while the negative camber will affect lateral load transfer during middle of corner, the positive camber will aid in initial turn-in rotation.
You will also like a rather stiff front swaybar about 1.585° because it can help soften the rear slide at the apex during the turn nicely.
It is vital not to have too much oversteer on a short oval circuit like this because it only leads to loss of confidence which results in lost lap times.
Regarding the gearing, it is preferable to use 3 gears with a rear end ratio of 4.00 so that there is a stronger acceleration while cornering even if the speed on top is reduced.
Nascar Heat 5 Richmond Cup – video onboard
The situation is not eased that much by a standard layout; however, here is a small video with a cup car which should assist you in driving around Richmond and ideally in improving your lap time if done correctly.
A draft will also help quite a bit here, so try not to miss on getting a good one. If you were to time it, you could potentially gain around 2 to 3 tenths even.
Again, have fun with a sim racing! 🙂
