ALL VALUES BASED ON A COUNTERCLOCKWISE OVAL - FOR CLOCKWISE TURNS, REVERSE SETTINGS

PUSH (Tight, Understeer) move rear weight back more stagger (N1) less cross weight (wedge) lower front air dam (N1) lower front tire pressure raise rear tire pressure	PUSH (Going into Corner) lower right front tire pressure soften right front shock raise right rear tire pressure stiffen right rear shock	PUSH(exiting corner) lower left front tire pressure soften left front shock raise right rear tire pressure stiffen right rear shock
LOOSE (Oversteer) move rear weight forward less stagger (N1) more cross weight (wedge) raise rear spoiler lower rear tire pressure raise front tire pressure	LOOSE(going into corner) raise right front tire pressure stiffen right front shock lower right rear tire pressure soften right rear shock	LOOSE(exiting corner) raise left front tire pressure stiffen left front shock lower right rear tire pressure soften right rear shock
LOW SPEED (Corner) adjust camber (front) more stagger (N1) raise tire pressure	LOW SPEED(Straightaway) taller high gear raise front air dam (N1) lower rear spoiler raise tire pressure	POOR ACCELLERATION shorter gears
TIRE TEMPERATURES - LOW stiffen shocks lower tire pressure	TIRE TEMPERATURES - HIGH slower entry into corner adjust camber (front) raise/lower tire pressure (depending on problem see TIRE WEAR)	TIRE WEAR adjust camber (front) adjust stagger (more or less, depending on problem, N1) adjust shocks softer lower tire pressure (if tire is hot across center) raise tire pressure (if tire is hot on outsides) adjust driving (slower entry into corner)
ERRATIC BRAKING (car jumps all over during braking) soften front shocks	POOR GAS MILEAGE taller gears raise tire pressure raise front air dam (N1), lower rear spoiler	WHEEL LOCK (driver preference) Road courses, short tracks - more Large ovals - less
LEFT WEIGHT BIAS ovals - more road courses - even, or slightly biased to the side with the most corners
