Loss of Grip Mid-Corner. What's the Cause?

[JLawrence]

A couple of my cars, specifically the BMW 2002 Turbo and Jaguar E-Type, that when cornering at high speed they simply lose grip and spin. Does it have to do with weight distribution, and am I going to have to do something with ballast, or is there a way to tweak the transmission to get more power to the rear wheels in the turns? I haven't found anything with the suspension that counteracts it.

BMW 2002 ballast around 50 kg till reach 50/50 do magic. the last but good solution for me.

POWERRRRRRR is the reason why they do spin. That, narrow tyres of the era and not too advanced suspension. In addition to suspension, you should also tweak the LSD for better traction, as well as transmission. BMW is probably salvageable, but the jag.. well, that one was bad to drive back in GT4 already.

Actualy we managed to find a pretty good set up for the Jag finally. 200MphFord was down around 1:32 in it on Trial Mt. The BMW is still beyond me

Yeah, that BMW can be pretty unruly. Try in this order
1) more LSD Initial. Or less! (I can't remember which one the 2002 prefers )
2) camber 0.5 / 2.0 (front / rear)
3) toe 0.0 / +0.4
4) front ballast

Hope this helps.

change the gear ratio so when u go to apply power there isn't too much torque. also try adding a little camber to the rear tyres if ur getting oversteer or add camber to the front if your getting understeer. good luck with the tune
