Why Your Race Car Setup is Failing (and how to fix it while getting 20% off!)

If you’ve ever corner-weighted a car and wanted to throw the scales across the paddock, this this Mercedes-Benz SL Mille Miglia 417 episode is for you…

In this episode Tim tours various airport lounges, Chris rewires his home to work without power, Chrissy is running in short sleeves for Colorado winter while Mental goes unguided, tosses his FSAE car onto saw horses, just to have it fall on him. Really, we sit down with Jeff & Tim, the creators of Race Setup Pro—a software tool built by racers, for racers—and break down why most amateur race cars are leaving massive time on the table… even when the parts are “right.”

We talk real-world suspension setup, corner balancing frustrations, and why “just turning a wrench” isn’t enough if you don’t understand what the car is actually doing.Race Setup Pro is grassroots setup software for every level of motorsports from HPDE to IMSA. “It’s software designed to help you optimize your setup. It’s interview based, so you answer questions about your car, how you like it to feel, and what it’s doing on track, and it makes recommendations on how to adjust tire pressures, dampers, sway bars, etc. It will even give advice on aero, spring rates, alignment, and corner balance.”

It can grow with you and your team as you progress through the various forms of motorsport.

And because they are awesome, Tim & Jeff are offering you a 20% discount!

In this crazy unimog a weird-ass truck thing episode 416, Tim manifests 2 ’Black Flag Alls,’ and has many cases of wine, Mental learns which marital aids go in butts at dinner, Chris talks too much and puts a trailer hitch on a lawn mower, and Chrissy got to be warm at the Road Atlanta race and still smells like garlic.  Really, we talk all about the races this past weekend at Atlanta and Sonoma.  

If you love budget endurance racing, home-built race cars, questionable mechanical decisions, and laughing so hard it feels like a core workout, this episode is for you.

• What actually goes on during race weekend load-in, paddock chaos, and judging
  

• Garage projects ranging from lawn tractors with trailer hitches to resurrecting old race cars
  

• Racing news you didn’t know you cared about — and jokes you definitely shouldn’t repeat at tech inspection

Whether you run Lemons, Lucky Dog, ChampCar, SCCA, NASA, or you’re still wrenching toward your first race, you’ll feel right at home here. We don’t care what you drive — as long as you built it yourself and drive it hard.
