The Bentley seems to have quite some power here but suffers from the moving front to go consistently over the bumps. Therefore balancing out the car was quite hard, needing compromises in both setup and driving. This led to a setup which doesn't use negative rear toe or min-max approaches while trying to not get unsettled by the bumps.
Take it easy on the outlap and banker lap since the tires aren't ready there. Afterwards you can start to push. It really likes smooth inputs all around, from trail braking over throttle application to steering input. In fact do position the car and its nose before you apply throttle so that you don't need to steer too much at the exit. The rear will step out and initiate a slide if you did steer too much while applying throttle. Also try to get on power as early as possible, the rear will come around event with tiny throttle input.
You can use either setup for Quali or Race, they are around a tenth apart barring personal preference.
Electronics:
TC 2, 3, 4, maybe 5 can work for Qualifying
TC 2, 3, 4, 5 can work for Race
ABS higher if more intervention is needed.
Adjustments:
- You can adjust brake bias to your liking
- If too oversteery on the brakes, increase brake bias / decrease front bumpstop range
- adjust rear ride height for over/understeer by 1mm steps
- increase rear toe for more stability
- If the rear overall steps out too much, either stiffen front springs (wheel rate), increase front anti-roll-bar or lower front toe (more towards 0)
- If you want to reduce oversteer on throttle, either increase TC or reduce Differential
