Help me tune this Mclaren F1 Stealth to fix understeering

[Riggins]

I tried the tune listed below but I still have understeering issues. Even when i'm off the gas it just seems to have a huge turning radius.

Any suggestions as to what i can start playing with to get it corrected? I was hoping to win the all star race with this car, but it's not working out like this.


Overview:Sacrifice some speed for total traction and control
Parts you'll need:ALL the best parts (even stage 3 engine)
Tires:Racing Soft

Aerodynamics (buy it from GT auto):
Front:50
Rear:70
This is the maximum setting for control

Transmission
Top speed: (I prefer 205-261)
It's impossible to hit 260+ even on Daytona (stock)

Adjustable LSD:
Initial Torque:60
Accel Sens:60
Break sens:30
Again, more traction at the cost of speed and understeer. Break sens is lower because it's halfway between total oversteer in the corner and better performance in the corner...I'd suggest using a lower setting for Break first

Suspension (fully customizable)
Ride height: -2 front//10 back
Spring rate: 14.7 front//19 back
Dampers (ext):4 front//8 back
Dampers (comp):2 front//6 back
Anti roll:7 front//1 back
Camber: 3.7 front//4 back
Toe:0.30 front//-0.10 back

Brakes
Front 4//6 Back

Basically you set the LSD to maximize traction at the cost of understeer, but then compensate with setting the suspension to oversteer tendencies

Assists:Traction control:1, ABS, 10, ASM or anything else:None

The LSD settings are way too high. I use 9/24/12. The idea of using ridiculous suspension settings to compensate for ridiculous LSD settings is flawed, imo. Also the sway bar setting of 7/1 makes no sense whatsoever.

thanks, i'll try that out tonight and see how it works out.

Reduce rear down force. You should start your tunes with modifying aero properties first because thry don't affect wright transfer unlike suspension settings.

Also, your rear spring rate should be higher than your front. Switch those.

Disagree. Aero changes only alter high speed handling. If he's suffering from low speed understeer (which is most likely) that's not going to fix it.

Impossible. You can not by a wing or any aero parts for the F1 Stealth.

I'm running 6.20's at the ring with this set-up. LSD set to 30/60/30

This car is just to freaking strong on the rear wheels. For me it fells like dancing on raw eggs with the x-button for the gas. Really difficult to get a good time on the ring. In the end I was only 20 sec faster than in my Impreza.

20 sec is a lot of time when it comes to racing!



I posted a tune for the non-stealth version of this car. They are different vehicles, but you might see how my settings compare to yours and tinker around with your tuning from there. I find my F1 '94 to be quite fast.
