Easy way to get the Escudo to turn!

I actually had a bit of a play with this thing last night - an ongoing project, if you will. I'm able to get it around Laguna Seca in about the same time as a fully tuned Tickford Falcon (around 1'12-1'14).

I set the chassis similar to a lot of my big HP cars, ie. low with stiff springs, dampers at about 7-8 and stablisers at around 5. I run toe out (i.e. positive) at the back, only 0.5 at the moment but I will try 1.0 tonight. Cambers are at 3.5/1.5.

I'll keep these at these settings for the moment, as I'm tinkering with the diffs, as I think these are the secret to unlocking consistent turning performance from the Escudo. I have them all fully wound up at the moment, but am looking at unwinding the diff-acceleration as at the moment when you acceleration and it hits boost it goes in a straight line, so exiting corners at the moment is trying to time hitting boost and pointing in the right direction at the same time - gearing is also something that needs to be looked at.

On the plus side I've got the wild oversteer under power out of it, so that's something!

This is all at max boost without TCS or ASM at the moment, using the Logitech wheel.
