Hi gents, I was surfing the official forums tonight and stumbled onto a a few recommended setups. So if you're in need of a setup for next weekend's race, I would suggest starting here:
Dan Segolsson - SPA.sto (1.49 KB)
Mario Felix Santos - SPA.sto (1.49 KB)
Amjed Yamin - SPA.sto (1.49 KB)
In addition to the setups, I also wanted to copy and paste a few interesting excerpts from the forums regarding car setup and the preload/clutch settings:

Dan Segolsson:
But from last season and this build, it [the DP] is a lot more understeery. You can dial out some of it in the setup, but you will absolutely need to slow it down more before turning, you will also benefit from being off throttle on initial turning in. Basically slow in fast out is good. Compared to the HPD it is a momentum car.
In essence, comparing this to the HPD is not fair, the HPD is more like a high DF formula car with extra body parts on. The DP we have is much more like a really stiff GT with a lot of wings 'n spoilers. But it still needs time to stop, and it can't turn as on rails like the HPD.

I've read somewhere that it has to do with the type of diff that is on the DP, which does not release its locking until you are completely off the throttle. I find that you need to be off the throttle and off the brakes (no trail braking) to get it to turn in properly.
Dan Segolsson:
Thats how a Sailsbury diff works, absolutely correct. However, as we now can adjust preload & clutch plates on the DP you can work with the diff as well in the setup to adjust it more to your driving style, but it will still stay locked until you are off throttle. If you loosen up the diff (less preload/less plates) it's easier to get it to turn in, but it will give you less drive on the exit, it's all a compromise.
