Crap driver needs grip tunes

[TrevElvis]

I am looking for tunes that let my cars hug the track more than top speeds, I need them for the Minolta and the Corvette ZR1 RM 09 . Please can someone who knows what to do help me as suck on certain races with bendy tracks ie American Championship Laguna Seca, and Gran Turismo All Stars, Thanks

This is what I have my Minolta at now I need to make it more sticking to the track as keep losing it at corners ??????

To make a car more forgiving:

Add rear toe-in.
Soften the suspension, particularly in the rear.
Raise the ride height accordingly.
Lower the LSD values.

Lower the LSD values.

Don't you want to increase the LSD values to prevent lock and make the rear end more predictable under acceleration?

I can see why you'd think so, but it doesn't work that way in my experience. I used to have a open diff 240SX in real life in which I later installed a very tightly packed clutch-type LSD. At first I was disappointed because it seemed like the car now pushed harder than ever when on the throttle. As I drove it harder I figured out that it would only push up to a certain point and then quickly transition into into a nice snap oversteer. Great for drifting, but not the easiest thing to drive fast. I notice the same sort of sensation in GT5 with tight LSDs. The higher the number, the more abrubt the transition. The lower the number, the smoother it is to drive.

LSD effects are highly dependent on a number of factors: drivetrain layout, the powerband characteristics of the engine, and the overall grip of the tires (which themselves can be affected by suspension tweaks.) On a high-powered MR car with sticky racing slick tires, increasing the values for the Acceleration setting on the LSD can have the effect of stabilizing the car on corner exit... at the cost of creating understeer in low-speed corners. It is a balancing act though; set it too high and you will experience the understeer into snap-oversteer phenomenon explained above.

I still not sure what to do,
What does soften the Suspension mean and raise the ride height accordingly to what ??
and lower or higher the LSD values ?????

 

[Leonidae@MFT]

Decrease the spring stiffness rate value, that's what the softening the suspension means. You also need to raise the ride height to prevent the car from bottoming out. Higher LSD values will make the car less eager to turn and lose traction. However, in case of Minolta, it has a lot of power in a light chassis, so even then it might be slipping out of control. These Group C cars never were easy to drive.
