When you take pictures can you please show the while car name. Thanks

Another Aussie, we are growing.

If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask.

Welcome to the HUB @Slim_14113

Good to see another Aussie brother here

 

[smoothbore12]

What a nice surprise with a new memper on board ,@Slim_14113 welcome .

 

[skeagracing]

I can't but I'll export the video file and send it to you later. If that's OK

Yes that is Ok send me the vid file just. FYI; you can get a you tube account for free. You can upload the vid there and share on the forum. But "any way is fine with me". It is just that I am so out of it for now that I can barely run 5 laps with my back so looking at replays would be a great help just to help keep me sharp. Super big thank you!!

Car is like a slug compared to the RUF, drove the wheels off it though

 

[bjl23]

I've ironed out the bugs in the super stock challenge, from now on you guys can post your times here.

SUPER STOCK update

BATTLE#2
Coming into this Battle I really thought that a tuned RUF was going to wipe the floor with the Peugeot , I was wrong. I used the ERAZER base tune for the Peugeot and the @Lilium for the RUF (good tune mate)

 

[CBH]

No Tune: A bit more practise with the BTR.

Can anyone tell me what it does to the car when you adjust the DAMPERS and ANTI ROLL BARS. I still can't put my finger on it.

More oversteer comes from putting more load on the rear tires. More load on the rear tires comes from installing a stiffer rear anti-roll bar, stiffer rear springs, stiffer rear shocks or all of the above. If you find you need more understeer in your FF vehicle, try stiffer components at the front. The entire premise also works the other way around; if you’re already too stiff on one end, go softer at the opposite end to obtain the desired effect.

Now, assuming you’re starting with a reasonably competent setup and you want to start adjusting the balance, there is something to keep in mind; a change in anti-roll bar diameter will make the most dramatic change in handling balance. Changing spring rates is probably second in terms of effects produced by change. If you have an adjustable sway bar (where you can change the lever arm) this is probably third. Turning the knob on adjustable shocks is a distant fourth; this is best reserved for fine-tuning an already good setup.

I've always adjusted the spring rate to help with oversteer/understeer but never really knew what the dampers or roll bars did.
So if a car overteers lowering the rear roll bar and lowering the rear dampers will help?

Yes. Driving style will also play a part but that will have to be your choice. I like lose rear end because all I have ever raced are mid to rear engine cars.

I’ll never say never but, at the moment I’m happy watching from the Corporate Box.
The hospitality is top notch.

YOUR DRINK SIR

 

[Racin510s]

Battle Just ran them once but clean. No Tune- The BTR and I finally came to an understanding after a dozen restarts. Many thanks go to @smoothbore12 for his help and secret snack. Without the secret snack I would have been too frustrated to continue and would have settled for a 6:50 time. This is what makes the Hub special. The help you get from the mates here. Bryce does a great job keeping up with all of us and presenting very good but challenging races.
