Lightweight cars teach tuning

[Razzbar]

I've found that the little changes you make in tuning a car show up more plainly in a lightweight car. The same physics apply to larger cars, but not as obviously.

Try tuning a Caterham.

Subaru 360 is better choice since it also light, has softer available spring rate setting, higher ride height and dirt tire.

But it should be remembered that weight distribution can make tuning different.

that's an important point you've got there sucahyo! weight transfer is often forgotten at tuning a car.... 💡

I still don't understand it much either, I confuse whenever I have to decide what spring rate value to use. For now I am just guessing .

but you seem to guess good, if i look at your 300mph-records 👍
