Chassis rigidity

[Lukecufc]

So you spend £25000 on "improving chassis rigidity" for a s**t load of under steer which you spend an hour tuning out and then finish with less general grip from the car. Cheers gt6 lol.
Who else has had the same issue?
Looks like I'm going to have to re-buy and tune my favourite car!

Hmm, on my most driven cars, the R18 and R8 GT3, the rigidity improvement improved lap times.

Really? Maybe just more tuning required then.
Did you get a lot of under steer when applying the rigidity which you then had to re-tune

From what I recall the rigidity did that in GT5 as well. General consensus was it was best used on cars with chronic oversteer.

It actually sharpened the turn in and reduced understeer.

I had the same problem, but have been waiting for others to respond about it. But then you get people like @Ittybitty Stigy that says the opposite so who knows. All I know is so far I have only done it to cars that have massive oversteer like @DigitalBaka said.

Have you experienced oversteer on street cars or racing cars with high downforce? Could hit be that it increases turn in so that the street cars with low downforce can't handle it, but high downforce racing cars can handle the sharper turn in?

Yeah I have some cars that have a wing with 15 downforce and still oversteer. Yes from my experience cars with front downforce turn in better. I really think some people have different opinions on how much is to much oversteer. I also think we need to do more back to back testing across multiple platforms for us to come to an actual conclusion.

I recently put chassis rigidity on a fwd car and didn't feel much of a difference. I should test a different platform that's rwd. The problem is you have to really know a car and a track to pick up the small differences.
