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
1. Reduce wing values

2. Lengthen gear ratios

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
