Some track tips:

Commitment line is a ways before the actual painted line to begin pit road speed so be careful.

Down the front straight, pass start-finish line, is an invisible wall where the grass on the left side ends. It covers about half of the grass surface. So if you get pushed off, fall asleep, try to check tires/damage/stats be sure not to verve over the grass more than two wheels.

Don't get too close to the pit wall. It's never happened to me, but at least 3 other drivers had said that they fall through the surface of the track.

turns 4 and 5 (first two turns after the right-left-right complex to start lap) are, for me at least, the most important. I was smooth all along the track except here. When I fixed this I went from 1.23s to 1.21s and low 122s.

Try bumping the final down 1 or 2 clicks and you won't red line in the long straight
@ low 23's atm but looking for more..

Like Ramrock suggested in the first post. He started with a brands hatch setup, which if you don't have it, there may be one in the setups section on the site.

My Mexico setup for CTS is in the setups section of the website. Unfortunately, CUP and NBS setups aren't available because we've never raced there in those series! ;)

Has anyone else notice that there is no rear camber in the mexico track. Usually it is mandated to -1.8 -1.8.

Yes it was noticed by Reef in the CTS series and after further investigating it was found to be up to the track builder. Same with ghost cars, if the track builder did not make provisions for it then it aint there.

So you can adjust the camber with nothing happening?

No, you cant adjust the rear camber. Whomever built the track, made it that way.

Suchayo, the same person that developed the core software for HeatFinder...
Technically Mexico2007 is only a Beta track and he never truly finished it.

Rear camber isn't adjustable anywhere anyway. The rear camber is actually specified in the track file. 99.9% of Heat tracks leave the Rear camber set at 1.8 & -1.8. Just so happens this guys put it at 0 & 0. We're all running with that, so I wouldn't worry about it.
