Cheers team-mate. I find it interesting how differently people approach car setup.

I have about two standard setups I use with minor variation :tarmac and non tarmac...

Me too tannat.
The gravel set up and the tarmac set up with a little differences between countries!
I surprised that you don't change suspension

Just to throw my halfpence worth in.......

For Finland, I use medium-long gearing (+1)
-3 or -4 increments of 'soft' suspension,
1 increment Rear power ratio (tourque split),
2 increments to rear of brake bias (helps considerably on loose surfaces. For tarmac you treat the car as if its a racing car, and keep it straight under braking, with the brake bias in the middle),
and the steering is +2 of 'Fast' (on my Logic3 Star Fighter stick).

This setup is for the WRC's.

For the Sierra Cosworth and Escort Mk1 RWD cars I use fully long gearing.
Brake bias remains at 2" to the rear, but these cars are mainly driven (and steered) with the throttle controlling the rear end of the car.
