Help, I can't stop the rear sliding out

[Pluxtheduck]

This is a general issue since the 2.02/2.03 update and onwards...

Since the tire models changed I haven't been able to keep the rear tires from sliding out as I re-apply the power out of a corner. This issue is mainly in my MR race cars (Takata NSX '06 and the Mazda Furai especially) though some of my FR race cars do this as well.

Could someone help me find a solution to this as its really spoiling my races/quali laps...

What is your current setting?

What is your current setting?

This.

Give us the full setup for a car that used to drive ok, but now doesn't. Someone will be along soon enough to help 👍

I will do a little later on...

Thanks for the quick turn around

What track are you testing this on?

 

[Pluxtheduck]

Erm... its on all tracks, but mainly is a problem in fast corners (power on) and powering out of heavy stops but still at high speed (like the 6th corner of Trial mountain at the end of the straight) not hairpins or 90 degree corners...

Try using a higher gear on exit, it will tame the rear end if you use 4th gear rather than 2nd, and should allow you to use full throttle.

LSD to 5/5/5 and report back.

Well you might want to use a little traction control (1 or 2) on cars like the Mazda Furai or any of the LMP cars because it can be very easy to break the rear tires on the exit of a turn. You might also want to try softening the rear springs a bit and reduce you LSD settings. I wouldn't suggest a fully open LSD (5/5/5) but it shouldn't be fully locked (60/60/60) either. Start with the default settings.

 

[Pluxtheduck]

Hmm... I have done all of these things and it seems a little better (bar TCS, it doesn't work with me)

The biggest help was the gear up - though acceleration was a little slow. I was think maybe of dropping the rear roll bar by 1 down to 5?

 

[Adrenaline]

Still lacking your full settings. Raise rear ride height by 5. Add positive toe in rear, increase rear camber.

No, I am not the type of person to do this, I have my own tunes. But I was thinking you would post it and I could offer advice on a little bit of change, so that you would not have to change the whole setting... For example, looking at what your saying would be the LSD settings, after that it would be somewhere along the Thermodynamics, and then some change in the suspension. For the most part, I can work out tunes on my own, but sometimes I have to come here and ask for help as well, and where I try to help others as well.

Errrm, hopefully you've misquoted me, I was talking to the OP, not yourself. I was asking them to post their setup, so that the community could examine it and offer advice. I quoted you to back up your request for the OP's setup...

Personal theory is that the algorithm that sets the default setting on fully customizable suspension doesn't take into account downforce. So the rear spring and ride are too low causing the car to bottom in the rear. If this is true I don't know, but I have found good results with prototypes and other high downforce cars by stiffening rear spring and softening rear anti-roll bar. I find myself needing very little LSD and zero toe.

 

[Pluxtheduck]

I fixed this problem by using all your advice. Thank you very much for your help.

Finally fixed it by softening the rear massively
