As most people found when they attacked these races, Understeer is a major issue. After reading Neon and Der Alta's conversation, I knew I had to find a way to make those adjustments. This was a good start:
Understeer means the grip at the rear is stronger than that at the front. This makes the front of the car push, or reluctant to turn in. To reduce, increase grip at the front relative to the rear. Try these:
Raise ride height at rear, or lower ride height in front.
Soften front springs, and/or harden rear springs.
Soften front dampers, and/or harden rear dampers.
Soften front stabilizers, and/or harden rear stabilizers.
Increase front downforce, and/or decrease rear downforce.
Increase front camber, and/or decrease rear camber.
Oversteer means the grip at the front is stronger than that of the rear. This makes back of the car go sideways, or spin. To reduce, increase grip at the rear relative to the front. Try these:
Raise ride height at front, and/or lower ride height at rear.
Soften rear springs, and/or harden front springs.
Soften rear dampers, and/or harden front dampers.
Soften rear stabilizers, or harden front stabilizers.
Increase rear downforce, or decrease front downforce.
Increase rear camber, or decrease front camber.
Hope these guidelines help some other new racers like myself set up their car.
