I have different setups for different courses. Big Finn Hill Park was dry, flat, and had lots of long straight-aways so I put on a 42/18.

Quicker power out of the technical corners on the tight course, and more oomph through the mud on the sloppy course. I could have gone with the 42/18 for Starcrossed (dry, flat, lots of straights) and a 40/18 for the Rapha/Focus GP (same course, just a little on the damp side, no deep mud to contend with.)
