Updated the non negative toe setups with minor adjustments.

Disclaimer: This data pack includes setup versions with negative toe and without!

Lap Times:

• Quali: 1.54.767 (negative Toe)
• Quali: 1.54.995
• Race 90l: 1.55.352 (negative Toe - 55.1 possible with 2 tenths in Sector 1)
• Race 90l: 1.55.350

The Bentley in 1.8 generated its laptime the more aggressive it was setup but struggled to convert its race pace to a proper qualifying lap. Both of these attributes still hold true for me. Both versions included in the setup could still be made more aggressive.
Generally it still has great rotation on throttle while benefiting from tiny brake inputs to aid rotation off throttle. You can use this combined with the steering to control rotation at all times.

Negative toe produces outright faster lap times for me but do feel a bit more inconsistent. I'd also expect some more pace drop over a stint since it's a bit more slidey.

The car also feels like it has lost some ground clearance which makes it harder to eat curbs. Don't throw it over the last chicane.

Be mindful of your inputs when braking into Turn 11 in order to not overload the tyres. You will need the best exit possible in this car, so try to nail that corner with careful steering and braking.

Electronics:

TC 2, 3, 4 can work for Qualifying
TC 3, 4, 5 can work for Race
ABS could be lowered when increasing brake bias but needs to be tested. Higher if more intervention is needed.

Adjustments:

• If too unstable on the brakes, move brake bias forward (increase value)
• If too oversteery on the brakes, move brake bias forward (increase value) / reduce front bumpstop range
• adjust rear ride height for over/understeer by 1mm steps
• increase rear toe for less overall rotation
• You could increase front ride height for better chicane handling but I wouldn't recommend for balancing reasons (and potentially losing lap time)

LFM 45min Race can be done with 2x 40l
