Week 5 of the LFM season is now here and our team have been busy creating the ultimate setups to tackle Nurburgring and Valencia.
McLaren seems to be the overall stand out car this week in race trim and will be challenging for wins at both circuits, but the Aston isn’t too far behind, especially at Nurburgring where it is actually our fastest car this week in qualifying trim.
WEEK 5 BOP TABLE
Cars | Tracks | BOP Ballast (KG) | Lap Time |
McLaren 720s EVO | Nurburgring | -4 | 1:52.810 |
Valencia | 10 | 1:29.887 | |
Porsche 992 GT3R | Nurburgring | 6 | 1:52.695 |
Valencia | -4 | 1:29.462 | |
Ferrari 296 GT3 | Nurburgring | 9 | 1:53.010 |
Valencia | 8 | 1:29.977 | |
BMW M4 GT3 | Nurburgring | 13 | 1:52.942 |
Valencia | 7 | 1:29.665 | |
Lamborghini EVO 2 | Nurburgring | 19 | 1:53.342 |
Valencia | 12 | 1:29.967 | |
Aston Martin V8 GT3 | Nurburgring | -12 | 1:52.482 |
Valencia | -14 | 1:29.715 |
The team left no stone unturned this week trying to extract the maximum from each of these cars. The BOP playing a big part in which cars are the most competitive. It’s worth noting that at Nurburgring the Aston and McLaren come out on top for race pace and at Valencia it is the Porsche and McLaren once again. So it isn’t always down to qualifying times. Just be ready to make some overtakes in the races using the McLaren, because where it lacks in qualy trim it makes up for in race trim.

COACH DAVE LFM META SETUP RECAP
WHAT DO I RECEIVE WITH THESE NEW SETUPS?
These new LFM setups will be created with the custom BOP applied. Trending away from what we normally do, these setups will also be created with all the meta trends applied, which means the setups will be both aggressive and tricky to drive. We are gunning for overall lap time and therefore offer a completely different dynamic to the other CDA4 setups we already offer to customers.
Included then for each series are as follows:
- 1 Qualifying Setup
- 1 Race Setup
- Motec data of the fastest lap
- Onboard lap posted on YouTube
- Popometer data package for the fastest lap
SUPPORTED CARS
We now have 6 supported cars that have the highest entry statistics for season 13 on LFM. This means we will be doing setups for the following cars:
- Ferrari 296 GT3
- McLaren 720s GT3 EVO
- Porsche 992 GT3R
- BMW M4 GT3
- Aston Martin V8 Vantage
- Lamborghini Huracan GT3 EVO 2
These 6 cars make up the highest number of race entries so far this season and they will receive setups for both the Coach Dave Sprint Series and the SimRace Shop series.
WHAT IS THE NEW NAMING CONVENTION?
Given these new Meta setups follow a very different philosophy to our existing setups, they will also have a slightly different name in Delta. We will be dropping the version number from the name and the variant. This is because they will be constantly changed and updated based on the LFM calendars and physics updates.
The naming convention example then is as follows:
- CDA M M4 GT3 BAR Q LFM
- CDA M M4 GT3 BAR R LFM
The M stands for “Meta”, which will allow customers to distinguish it from the normal CDA4 setups. It will look like this in Delta:
