Thanks for starting this thread, Myles. I've been starting a race weekend with Heavy real road in all sessions and using a full tank of fuel. After spending some time in all four cars I'm settling on the Ferrari but that's probably just my driving style. They are all excellent except I didn't gel well with the Aston Martin but I prefer mid/rear-engined GT cars. The Porsche is very stable, especially in the last corner, but after realising I was too slow braking with my left foot, I felt the character of the car didn't suit right foot braking. Something clicked between me and the Ferrari and right foot braking. I also really liked the Corvette C8R (unlike in rf2) and it was a close call between it and the Ferrari.
I have put several hours in and have accepted that the AI is way better than rfactor 2. I use an AI difficulty of 90% to get near the front of the timesheets, wheras it was 100% in rfactor2. The more I drive the more I appreciate how good the simulation is in LMU. There is so much depth and subtlety to how the tyres work so it takes longer to get speed and consistency.
Regarding setups I've just been trying the LMU and Coach Dave presets on each car - they take very different approaches. I get the impression Coach Dave setups are faster but require more skill. In the Ferrari I settled on the Coach Dave setup and have only adjusted brake bias where necessary.
On mediums I'm in the mid 1:46 and on softs mid 1:45
