... ressurecting an old thread but i've been looking into this - if you have adjustable then definitely change to soft.

You need the car leaning in corners so that it loads tyres and gives more traction.

Shim - have you got adjustable ones then? He has indeed ...they are either wet ...or fookin dry !!:hahaha:

nah i really meant is it worth dropin them off for wet days!:smokin:

[DuncanR]

nah i really meant is it worth dropin them off for wet days!:smokin:Prob worth it mate !! great weight saving ! what do you peddle around the Bedford GT track mate? just reviewing yesterdays efforts.
Question, does your circuit tools ever hang when you have more than one lap opened for data review?

[shimmy]

?

thats a good time Dunc tbh, i spent a few TD at Bedford trying to get below 2m 47

did you run the VBOx - it would be interesting to see how much extra top speed you were getting on a nice cold day like yesterday even on PS2s

What was you back straight Vmax GPS?

[DuncanR]

thats a good time Dunc tbh, i spent a few TD at Bedford trying to get below 2m 47 Thank you sir


What was you back straight Vmax GPS? 265mph ! .... but let me just check that one out mate ...something not quite right there !:hahaha:

[DuncanR]

vmax 139.07 mate ... honest !! whats best way to paste screen in here? print screen then into word doc?

my best was consistently 138-139mph until this year with a bit less weight and it rose to 143mph:thumbs:but whether that is faster acceleration or faster previous corner speed id have to check

If you can carry a little extra speed out of the hairpin at start of the back straight 4mph more would be achievable i reckon ... and a a bit braver on the brakes at the end..maybe at the 100 marker instead of the 150 marker

disconnect the rear roll bar and run the front on either softest or next one along

[cantfind1]

+ 1 on what he said, just disconnect one droplink at the rear no matter what side, and put the front on the softest if you are still getting understeer then disconnect one front droplink as well, ie you will have no anti roll bars connected. Damping should be tuned down as well.

Trial and error really as to what you need but this is the general principle.

Or just leave it as is and dont drive like a hero in the wet

If you guys are that concerned, buy some wets.

If you are not running wets, leave as is and take it easy.

Save the hero shit for the dry.

If however you are racing, its another matter.

i agree, no reason to push it in the wet BUT then again better to make the car as compliant as possible as it may help car control and stop a spin:smokin:

Precisely!

[Rutkowski]

It's not about being a hero but merely taking precautions. Soft, compliant suspension aka stock suspension, will always be my first choice.
