Hello everyone. I really need help because this is a common problem for alot of the cars I use although its worse for me with race cars using Front-Mounted Rear Wheel Drive and Mid-Mounted Rear Wheel drive cars. I don't use the Skid Control force in preparation for time trials if that is any help and all drivers aids except for TCS ( I set this low between 1 - 3 ) don't seem to help. The problem is whenever I throttle up out of a turn the front end of the car goes almost completely out of control and starts sliding the opposite direction and my only real option is to slow things down and let the front end straighten out before I push down on the gas. Is there anything I can do to prevent this from happening? Keep in mind I have only a really really basic understanding of tuning selections. Please help me.

What tires are you using ?

Do you use a wheel/pedals or a controller ?

Assuming your using a controller X for accelerate , you can switch to L2 and R2 for accelerate and brake or the right analog.

This means you can control how much pressure you put on the throttle which is hard to do with X. Pedals would be best of course.

Also you can lengthen the gear ratios so power is distributed more evenly.

Manual would mean you can shift up early if the wheels are spinning too.

It sounds like the rear end going out of control, as the front end can't slide inwards.

Have you tried any tunes on the site? It maybe be just aggressive driving, or it may be your tune, hard to say with limited info.

What Big Berry said helped out. I use the controller.

@ CSLACR: I think it's just me being aggressive.

1. Use racing tires at first if you are having trouble handling the car for maximum grip.

2. Put a full aero kit on the car for better down force.

3. You cannot mash to gas out of a corner in any high powered car so you'll have to learn some throttle control for sure.

4. Find a good tuning setup on the forum that you like for a better handing car.

5. Using a manual gearbox can often help because you can go up a gear or two when exiting the corner which reduces the cars overall power so you can nail it but learning good throttle control is much faster IMO.

I Hope I could help out a bit man and welcome to GTPlanet by the way. 👍

front/rear spring rate ratio has a big effect over the oversteer-understeer balance. more rear downforce is rarely a bad idea. post your settings up?

in an FR try to engineer understeer into the setup (you've got an oversteer problem by the sounds of it) while 4WDs love a bit of oversteer

AWD cars tend to have much more understeer IMO.

I'm trying to use the Nissan R390 GT1 Race Car for big track races. I haven't done anything except set the downforce on the front and back to be almost maximum. On the differential ( The LSD ) I set the thing to kick in at 5lb of torque as opposed to ten. Ride Height and everything is the same, I haven't done any tweaking on the transmission or anything other then tack on an extra 30 KM so I can draft longer on straights without hitting the rev cieling. I use Racing Hard for all racing cars, I tried soft and there was no difference really.

Try finding a tune in the tuning section of the forum for that car. It'll help you out a lot man.

You should feel a big difference between the two tires...

A stiffer suspension should help a bit.
Also make sure that you LSD isn't too low or too high.
