Here's my story with the Ferrari, it all started way back in February. I tried it with stock suspension settings and found a lot of oversteer in it. So then I gradually would take it out and tinker with suspension settings. I finally found a comfortable tune that was fast and could turn in fast and not get all twitchy. So now I was racing and holding a line with it. I also took it out to LeMans a few months back and super fine tuned it at LeMans. I acheived speeds of 236mph and lap times in the 3:20s.
But then going into this series all the work I put into this car started to show bad cases of understeer in high speed corners. I gradually once again started to tune this car back to giving more oversteer but at the compromise of tire wear. And running this endurance series was not an option to have horrible tire wear. So once again I cut back the camber and toe, put wheel alignment bias in the rear and stiffened suspension in front.
Then we ran LeMans and my tune was not alright for it. And I based that off a few practice races we held. So I lowered my trans about 15mph and added full aero. The full aero allowed for no-understeer turning in and no oversteer turning out, I also lowered my lsd settings to keep my traction out of the turns. I went from 236mph to 207mph by myself and lost 10sec a lap all for keeping my wheels on the track and to avoid spin-outs. But during the race I was bump-drafting Sumo and acheived speeds over 230mph and shaved 10sec of my laps for two consecutive laps. I was able to get rid of all dirty-air dirty-attributes.
There is a lot give and take with this car. And its still not all there and I can't find its prefered settings yet. But tuning this car has been really advancing my tuning skills and knowledge. And thats why I will run this car again, and will keep running it until I perfect it or give up on it.
