Bettter Grip Off The Line

[200MphFord]

My question is simple, how do I acheive better grip when accelerating from a start? When racing online in drag races i'm pretty quick with my cars but I feel I could be better. I've tried things like stiffer rear suspension settings and messing with the LSD but my cars are still roasting the tires. I'm not complaining about awesome burnouts in first gear I just want faster starts to beat my competition.

Get better tyres?

Lowest Ride Height for Rear*
Soft Rear Suspension*
Hard Extension*
Stiff Roll Bar*
Locked LSD*
Slight Rear Downforce*

Doesn't get better than Rracing softs. What is a locked diff, all the stats fully to the right?

Yeah 60/60/60

so that woulg give me the acceleration im looking for?

This.

Ok ok i got it i'll try that.

Longer gearing and better throttle control?

You actually want a higher ride height, not lower , helps weight transfer on to the rear.

Put traction control on 5, and you can also try put the weight more to the back of the car.

Make your rear ride height higher than your front and keep your rear sring rate softer than your front. You can also play around with the Ballest moving it to the rear.

Traction control sounds like a good idea but before I try that I want to try tuning it. I have used softer spring setting on the rear and messed with the gears.

But traction control kills the power so thats a disadvantage

Roll bar has no effect on front-rear weight transfer, only side-to-side. That has no impact on acceleration. Everything else stated does - just note that everything you do to increase rear-acceleration grip will make the car more prone to understeer.

Think of the torque that twists the chassis in a horizontal motion so having a stiffer rear would keep better tire contact

you want it to be soft enough so that it can transfer and hook up in the back, set LSD to 30/60/10

if you put +0.50 toe in the rear it helps acceleration a lot
