Solutions to Handling Issues

Braking

Loss of Control
1. Move brake bias forward 2. Decrease slow damper

Front Tyres often lock
Move brake bias backward

Car pitches to much
Stiffen front springs

Nose hits floor
1. Increase ride height 2. Adjust bump stops 3. Stiffen front springs

Excessive locking
Reduce overall brake pressure (use with caution)

Turn in

Understeer
All Speeds: 1. Adjust front tyre pressures 2. Soften front anti-roll bar 3. Increase front toe out 4. Decrease diff coast locking 5. Soften front springs Mid-High Speed: Reduce rear wing angle or Increase front wing angle When braking: Move brake bias backward

Oversteer
All Speeds: 1. Adjust rear tyre pressure 2. Stiffen front anti-roll bar 3. Decrease front toe out 4. Stiffen diff coast locking 5. Soften front springs Mid-High Speed: Increase rear wing angle or Decrease front wing angle

Lift off oversteer
1. Increase diff coast locking 2. Increase pre-load value

Corner Exit

Understeer
All Speeds: 1. Stiffen rear anti-roll bar 2. Increase diff power locking 3. Stiffen rear springs Mid-High Speed: Reduce rear wing angle or increase front wing angle

Oversteer
All Speeds: 1. Soften rear anti-roll bar 2. Decrease diff power locking 3. Soften rear springs Mid-High Speed: Increase rear wing angle or decrease front wing angle

Lift off oversteer
PICNIC (Problem in chair, not in car)

Car bounces during weight transfer
When Braking, Accelerating & Turning Increase slow damper settings On Bumps / Curbs Increase fast damper settings

Other

Tyres overheat
All Over: 1. Decrease pressures 2. Decrease toe value On Inside Edge Reduce negative camber On Outer Edge Increase negative camber In Middle Reduce pressures

Tyres cold
All Over: 1. Increase pressures 2. Increase toe value

Car edgy during weight transfar
When Braking, Accelerating & Turning Decrease slow damper setting On Bumps / Curbs Decrease fast damper setting

Low top speed
Reduce wing values

Car edgy during weight transfar
When Braking, Accelerating & Turning Decrease slow damper setting On Bumps / Curbs Decrease fast damper setting

Tips

Ride height
As low as possible, but avoid grounding car or stalling the aero

Dampers
Bump setting should be lower than the corresponding rebound setting Try to use the lowest setting that avoids oscillation / bouncing Can be used to tune the responsiveness of the car. High values = more responsive Low values = more stable

Aero
Use ride height and rake to generate as much downforce as possible, then trim the aero balance using the wings and / or splitter. Increasing the rake moves the aero balance backwards. Run the car as stiff as needed to maintain stable ride height

Brake bias
Front tyres should lock just before the rears for best stability
