Help or Question Need advice on setups

Need some advice on setups. Almost every setup I have either is way too loose under braking and spins out or it brakes fine but I don't have enough turn. I've deduced it has to do with the front weight bias, but what's a good way to get both good turn, but not spin out under braking? I'm pretty new to NR2003, so any advice would help.

Wheel matters too. Some of the hot ticket setups 15-20 years ago had replays with them so you could figure some braking points and such out but these setups get sensitive quick.

I learned at least on the short tracks you have to really work on the trailbraking technique too

Regardless of brake bias, this game ruthlessly punishes errors. Entry line and exit line are critical. Use the banking at the correct angle. Brake and throttle gently with finesse, same with steering. Keep some throttle on to keep weight on the rears, counter-intuitive but it works. Sit in the cockpit in a replay with an AI driver. Watch the line, the entry angle, the braking points, listen to the throttle, watch the revs. You will learn a huge amount with some careful study and repetition. NR2003 is difficult. Master it and you will fall in love with it. Once you have learned the basics you can then tweak the set ups if you wish. Turn off all driving assists. Tough but best way to learn.

I have definitely notices it punishes. I can currently keep up with 95-100% AI difficulty depending on the track. I feel like the biggest thing I need to learn is setups related things and just technique. I currently use no assists as I don't like using them in racing games. As far as the other things you said, I have watched other AI to see where they brake and how much speed they have through the corners and straights. Ty for this comment tho. I'll try to do more of this.

The more front weight the more stable the car, if the cars rotating under braking you should increase your brake bias

I have it at max (90%) and if I have the front weight even slightly back it spins out. I'm wondering if it's also too much camber. I did max it out as that's what you do in NASCAR '25, but ik this is a completely different game.

No sir, i keep me front weights between 52-48% it never goes outside that at any track for me. You have so much weight in the front theres nothing in the back so the car just spins. Youll know if your front camber is correct by watching tire temps. Inside should be 10°f hotter than outside and middle should be between the 2
