ALL VALUES BASED ON A COUNTERCLOCKWISE OVAL - FOR CLOCKWISE TURNS, REVERSE SETTINGS
|
PUSH (Tight, Understeer) move rear weight backmore stagger (N1) less cross weight (wedge) lower front air dam (N1) lower front tire pressure raise rear tire pressure remove grill tape (N3) |
PUSH (Going into Corner) lower right front tire pressuresoften right front shock raise right rear tire pressure stiffen right rear shock smaller front sway bar (N3/NL) |
PUSH(exiting corner) lower left front tire pressuresoften left front shock raise right rear tire pressure stiffen right rear shock larger rear sway bar (N3/NL) |
|
LOOSE (Oversteer) move rear weight forwardless stagger (N1) more cross weight (wedge) raise rear spoiler lower rear tire pressure raise front tire pressure add grill tape (N3) |
LOOSE(going into corner) raise right front tire pressurestiffen right front shock lower right rear tire pressure soften right rear shock bigger front sway bar (N3/NL) |
LOOSE(exiting corner) raise left front tire pressurestiffen left front shock lower right rear tire pressure soften right rear shock smaller rear sway bar (N3/NL) |
|
LOW SPEED (Corner) adjust camber (front)more stagger (N1) raise tire pressure |
LOW SPEED(Straightaway) taller high gearraise front air dam (N1) lower rear spoiler raise tire pressure add tape to nose (N3) |
POOR ACCELLERATION shorter gears |
|
TIRE TEMPERATURES - LOW stiffen shockslower tire pressure |
TIRE TEMPERATURES - HIGH slower entry into corneradjust camber (front) raise/lower tire pressure (depending on problem see TIRE WEAR) ENGINE TEMP - HIGH remove front tape (N3)shorter gear changes taller gears |
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 gearsraise tire pressure raise front air dam (N1), lower rear spoiler |
WHEEL LOCK (driver preference) Road courses, short tracks - moreLarge ovals - less |
|
LEFT WEIGHT BIAS ovals - moreroad courses - even, or slightly biased to the side with the most corners |
