ride height::spring rates::bottoming out

[dr_slump]

Not sure doctor, but on a oval NASCARS bottom out at +6 +6 (At Daytona Speedway, I cant imagine a + and negative that extreme. Even on a road course. But NASCAR heights are even, im talking about some visually looking at the car. Some cars have ride height -20 - 30, If you lower it all the way (not a good idea). But visually the car may be even at -10 -10 instead. Its the uneven ride heights. Most cars are even, but some arent. Was redoing NASCAR tune last night. and at 15 8 I got real loose on Daytona

Yeah, it really didn't drive well. I thought it was a GTP guy but I was wrong, I saw it on this site: http://www.gt5-tuning.com/index.php?title=NASCAR

It's the 3rd and last tune, but they're about the same. He explains it with NASCARS always being "nose down tail up".

I see what you mean, I personally have just never checked how the height of a NASCAR is.

I'm sure those setups are before patch, but I run 41.3s at Daytona. It said he exited corners at 200MPH, yikes. I hit 209 to 210MPH. I'm sure these are old but this is my tune from within 2 months after game was released. Not much has changed with my setup for the past 18 months or so

Ehh it's actually a tune for the road course and not the oval....

That's where I was lost, I didn't even consider that PD actually put that extent of physics into it (still don't , though haven't tested that deep into it) I'm sticking with the "lowest isn't always better" theory for now, and I'm gonna continue to work on being more subtle with my corner entry. By the way, love your tune reviews Adrenaline, been following them and using your findings to help improve my own tunes and times

I agree with this since I was tuning the '08 ACR Viper at Nurb GP/F and anything below -6/-6 I would bottom out and could see sparks from under the center of the car. Handling was way, way worse at -7 and below as well.

This guy is pretty awesome. I had read his stuff a couple of years ago and it helped me understand suspension better. See car tech section at bottom.
