I have just got back from a day of experimentation at the Kidderminster track. I just want to share with you all a very hard learned lesson ....... You can't get the RB5 any better balanced on Astro truf than the set-up I have posted up for Coventry.
I tried this, that and every chuffing thing to improve it today and everything I did made the car slower or harder to drive!
Put the now generic Astroturf set-up on the car for the final (we won't discuss which one ... other than to say no the A) and all was well again.

Only thing I changed were tires to suit the conditions today
Schumy green slim mini-spikes on the front, full
Ballistic green mini-spikes on the rear, full
I hope this helps somebody else not have as frustrating day as I did today.
As an aside I tried a different motor (swapped bonded rotor for sintered) after the meeting and a couple of different speedo settings (turned up power profile and reduced drag brakes) and I found that the above set-up could stand a lot more abuse than I have been throwing at it with my original motor / speedo. So I guess lesson 2 is don't be frightened to push the car hard.
