Driver Feedback and Debrief Sheet
Capture what the driver felt while it is still fresh, in words the engineer can act on, and tie each setup change to the feedback that caused it.

Car Setup Sheet
A free printable race car setup sheet — corner-by-corner springs, dampers, geometry and ride height, tyre pressures cold and hot, and the next change.

What this sheet is for
Know exactly what the car went out on, so a faster or slower session can be traced to a change rather than a feeling.
Who it is for
Club racers, track-day drivers and small teams running one car with a notebook rather than a data engineer.
How to use it
- Fill in the car, circuit, session and conditions before the car goes out.
- Write every corner setting as the car actually left the garage, not the plan.
- Record cold pressures before the run and hot pressures straight after it.
- Note the best lap and the one change you are making for the next session.
- Keep the sheets in order — the set from a weekend is the setup history.
What is on the sheet
One page, top to bottom:
Printed under the title: One car, one session: the corner-by-corner settings the car went out on, the tyre pressures cold and hot, and what was changed before the next run.
Your car's numbers, not ours. Every figure on this sheet is yours. No baseline pressures, geometry or ride heights are printed — they come from your car, your tyre supplier and what the stopwatch tells you. Write the setting you actually ran, not the one you meant to.
Write-on lines: Car / number · Circuit · Session · Date · Driver · Conditions / track temp · Tyre compound / set
Corner settings — as the car left the garage
Table, 7 rows: Setting · Front left · Front right · Rear left · Rear right
Tyre pressures and whole-car settings — cold before the run, hot straight after
Write-on lines: Cold pressures FL / FR / RL / RR · Hot pressures FL / FR / RL / RR · Tyre temps if taken · Anti-roll bar F / R · Brake bias · Wing / aero F / R · Gearing / final drive · Fuel in at start · Best lap · Laps run · Change for next session
Ruled lines: Driver comment — what the car did, where, and what was changed
Questions
Why are there no baseline settings printed?
Because a baseline belongs to a particular car, tyre and circuit, and a printed one would be wrong for almost everyone. Start from your car builder's or tyre supplier's guidance and your own last good sheet, and let the stopwatch move it from there.
How is this different from the kart sheet?
The car sheet is built around four corners with independent springs, dampers, camber and toe, plus bars, bias and aero. A kart is set up by track widths, axle, hubs and gearing, so it has its own sheet with those fields.
