I am not underestimating your knowledge with the physcis of these cars ( I hope you know that)

You are right about vehicular characteristics and what you should use.
But on ozite..its..a lil..(very little) different.

ALso, one thing I ve found out is when driving on hard tires and springs...the car tends to lose grip when corning causing MASSIVE irratating problems...believe me ( I was ready to give up 3 weeks of racing when I couldn't figure out the right setup.)

**The problems all hard setups MAY cause is a pushing of the front tires going around a corner. This causes the car to take a much wider (unwanted, understeer) turn around a hairpin.
Also if you have hards on the back it may cause your rear to slide around all over the place (you would look like a trout fishtailing around corners so much)

-** Note: That is if you are going high speeds and NOT going a proper speed.

You may want to try a combination of hard and med tires.

I know my Z I have (although a totally different monster than the DTM has a Hard front tires ...Med back tires.....soft front suspension and soft rear dampner spring and med roll shock springs.
The car ....is a monster ...sticks to its line like glue with no understeer, tailspin, or roll shock (unless you go into a turn full speed)

I hope this helps...again redrider... you are right about a cars physics. I apologize if I jumped in there without being more polite.
