    Good evening everyone.
    Could someone give me a tip for a Knutstorp setup?
    I have made the dampers and springs as soft as possible.
    The front ARB also to get understeer under control.
    The rear tire pressure increases.
    The preload increases a few clicks.

    But no matter what I try, the rear tires start to boil after 8 laps. Hard slicks.
    What can I start to counteract this?

    Knutstorp is pretty turny... i think, you have to be more gentle with the car and manage the tyres better by driving it smoother on throttle. Sometimes, there is no other way, than just being a bit slower for the long run.

    Do not overdrive these old cars. Progressive controll of brakes and throttle should do the trick in combination with gentle steering inputs. Also reefer and beer helps to controll the volvo;).

    Hehe, beer and motorsport?
    Doesn't that fall under doping?
    Seriously though, I have to work on my style.
    I have to say RRE has really developed into a very strong and serious Sim. Tomorrow I will definitely try it again .

    It motivates to get better. You feel zero frustration because it is actually understandable.
    In this sense .. GREEN GREEN GREEN !!!

    Its my impression or the Volvo Before the UPDATE had a much more narrow Powerband but more powerfull?? now the power delivery feels to me more linear
