Honda S2000 - Malcs "test bed" tune.

[Malc01]

Hi all;

My first posted tune,


Honda S2000 GV300 by Malc01, on Flickr

This is the S2000 I ran in my back to back GV300 events, either side of the recent update.
[See race report threads]

I am looking for comments about how to make it more stable, for long running on the Sports Hard tires.

Sorry I don't have a nice formatting setup for this yet [I will steal one I like later]

I tried your tune on GVS in Practise mode.

You have a low ride height, so I stiffened the springs and rebound (ext) dampers to 70% front and rear, set compression dampers to 6 front and rear and softened ARB to 2, front and rear.

The car felt more stable turning in and through the sharper corners with less understeer on exit, plus I found 9/10ths second but just 3 lap runs so not extensive testing.

The toe alignment looked unusual for an FR car, I changed it to negative front and positive rear, that made no significant improvement but at 0.00 Front and +0.10 Rear it felt a little sharper and the steering wheel felt 'more gentle' coming out of the turns.

I'm no expert, so feel free to ignore my findings.
