Corner Weighting?

I believe I said that quite clearly, I even made a seperate post about it, the process of geo is abour camber, toe, castor, trail, height, tyre pressure, dampers, spring settings, spring types etc



As you say in your opinion, which of course you are entitled to. However, having founded the CSL Cup, won multiple races in it myself (14 seconds last Donington round is still the largest margin of any win this season or last) and running multiple cars both race race winning I'll rely on our credentials.

Take a look at last year, at Donington Park I ran my car on 6 degrees of negative camber, Dan Stringfellow and the others all took the piss in the paddock saying it looked silly, fast forward to now and the whole grid is running 5-6 degrees from last years 3-4 degrees. Dan was having major issues in handling and set up last season, even considering changing suspension, I did three laps of Brands Hatch and suggested stiffer springs and softer damping (which was the exact opposit to what he'd been told by all the other self appointed 'experts'). Fast forward to now, he's stuck with Nitron who have redeveloped his suspension with guess what? Stiffer springs and softer damping and hes winning straight away (end of last season he didn't beat me once in last 4 races).

I think I have a rough idea what to do.

My point is that corner weighting on a car where the actual chassis weight displacement will not meaningfully change over the course of its use is very much worth doing, but for 99.99% of all track day cars the range of weight variance that the car will undergo even during an average track day makes the process excessive and there are better things to spend money on to get ultimate track times. If you disagree with that then fine, vive la difference but please dont say I'm wrong, we simply dont agree, thats fair enough.

Fair enough, but I think his wins are down to his engine mapping which was done by a friend of mine! Hence why you wanted his car compression checked after he beat you and you couldn't understand why, as you thought it was running to much compression John! lol

I'll stick with my opinion of your company thanks. And yes it is my opinion don't want to put anyone off!

I think you underestimate the knowledge that some people have mate!
