F1RS: Interlagos, body clearance.

I'm getting rather frustrated over my setup for Interlagos.

The setup I currently utilise walks a thin line between oversteer in certain
corners and oversteer in others. But the most annoying part is the huge
amount of ground scraping.

I checked my ground clearance on the telemetry, but there's a minimum of 4
mm clearance. MEaning, the car never touches the track.

I have a possible explanation in that it is the outer front or rear of the
plank that hits the track. It only happens after the corner towards
start-finish and the end of the long straight after the first chicane. I've
also heard it scrape a few times under braking.

I've set the chassis at 67mm front and 70 rear, and this greatly increases
my understeer and hampers topspeed, reducing laptimes to 1:18:8**.

Anyone have some advice?

Interlagos is notorious for that bumpiness on the main straight.  Ubi
have replicated this very well.

To assist in your u/steer, o/steer problem, try using the spring
settings for some fine tuning.  Softening the front roll bar/increasing
the rear bar will induce oversteer (or REDUCE) understeer) and
vice-versa.
Hardening your front spring setting/softening the rear can also help.

One thing I have found with F1RS is that each increment of adjustment
has an effect!
