Hi Mr. Praiano! [EDIT: YOU HAVE ENOUGH TO DO, DON'T BOTHER ANSWERING MY FULL TEXT, I will probably have even more questions and will use the Tuning Forum for a new thread sometime soon.]
Would you care to give me one or two tips:
I finally want to learn tuning myself. Though that maybe a standard FR car like a BMW M3 '03, a Honda S2000, Mazda Miata or RX7 would be a good start to mess around, learning the different suspension setting.
How should i start my learning journey?
Some things i wrote down out of tuning guides (which i don't understand completely yet)
Is anything from what i noted wrong?
racing tires = stiffer suspension
understeer on corner entry - get stiffer rear anti roll bar and softer front
oversteer out of corner - do the opposite
dampeners work with roll bars and do equal things
keep numbers for dampeners and natural frequencies in front and rear close to each other
rear anti roll bar stiffer than front = oversteer and vice versa
dampeners stiffer = more agile but bumps unsettle the car
Natural frequency + anti roll bar - start stiff and work from there if it's too much
front toe out = better turning radius, less straight line stability
rear toe in = straight line stability + stability accelerating out of corners at cost of straight line speed and tire degredation
more weight = stiffer springs
more weight in front = understeer + tire degredation
more weight in back = oversteer + tire degredation
Differential:
initial torque - stability in corners but more understeer and decreased cornering (hairpins)
set as low as possible and go from there if instability during cornering
acceleration sensitivity: higher = more power oversteer but faster
braking sensitivity: low = smooth without lockup
front height lower than back = decreased rotation
front dampeners stiff = understeer vice versa
back dampeners stiff = oversteer vice versa
anti roll bar front stiff = understeer vice versa
anti roll bar rear stiff = oversteer vice versa
Thank you if you could get the time and fact-check my notes!
Last question: what is a good track to check tunes if i am not very convinced that i will feel every little setting-change (controller driver with automatic transmission here). Please don't say Nordschleife!
