The +ADw-br+AD4- chassis will have been raised where it left and lowered where it has been +ADw-br+AD4- added. +ACY-nbsp+ADs-(A good example of wedge/ride-height would be to have a look at some +ADw-br+AD4- of your local +ACY-quot+ADs-Street-Stock+ACY-quot+ADs- division racers on the track... ever notice how +ADw-br+AD4- the RF-end seems to be sticking up or protruding skyward on some of the +ADw-br+AD4- vehicles? +ACY-nbsp+ADs-This is a good indication the wedge/ride-height has been added/ +ADw-br+AD4- lowered (respectively) to the LR :-)). +ACY-nbsp+ADs-The ideal scenario, generalizied in +ADw-br+AD4- the game, would be the ability to systymatically add and remove weight from +ADw-br+AD4- all corners of the car and maintain a desired ride-height that you wanted. +ACY-nbsp+ADs- +ADw-br+AD4- (ie. you could add 5 lbs to the RF, take 5 lbs from the RR, add 5 lbs to the +ADw-br+AD4- LR and take away 5 lbs from the LF. +ACY-nbsp+ADs-You have effectively added about 40 lbs +ADw-br+AD4- of wedge to your racecar, also maintaining your ride height.... but this +ADw-br+AD4- isn't a Math lesson either +ADs--) but there are formulas for this exercise). +ADw-br+AD4-

+ACY-nbsp+ADs- +ACY-nbsp+ADs- +ACY-nbsp+ADs- LESS WEDGE +AD0- LOOSER CAR/OVERSTEER +ADw-br+AD4- +ADw-p+AD4-In setting up your race car for the simulation, remember a few items +ADw-br+AD4- when contimplating your cross-weight adjustments: +ADw-br+AD4- +ADw-p+AD4AJg-nbsp+ADs- +ACY-nbsp+ADs- +ACY-nbsp+ADs- +ACY-nbsp+ADs- 1) Your car will ALWAYS be 'loose' on coldish tires, nothing can +ADw-br+AD4- +ACY-nbsp+ADs- +ACY-nbsp+ADs- +ACY-nbsp+ADs- +ACY-nbsp+ADs- +ACY-nbsp+ADs- +ACY-nbsp+ADs-be done about this. +ADw-br+AD4- +ADw-p+AD4AJg-nbsp+ADs- +ACY-nbsp+ADs- +ACY-nbsp+ADs- +ACY-nbsp+ADs- 2) In general, remember you have 20 gallons of fuel in which to +ADw-br+AD4- +ACY-nbsp+ADs- +ACY-nbsp+ADs- +ACY-nbsp+ADs- +ACY-nbsp+ADs- +ACY-nbsp+ADs- +ACY-nbsp+ADs-keep your car semi-driveable. +ACY-nbsp+ADs-I personally prefer a decent +ADw-br+AD4- +ACY-nbsp+ADs- +ACY-nbsp+ADs- +ACY-nbsp+ADs- +ACY-nbsp+ADs- +ACY-nbsp+ADs- +ACY-nbsp+ADs-handling car in the mid to early portion of a fuel load and pray +ADw-br+AD4- +ACY-nbsp+ADs- +ACY-nbsp+ADs- +ACY-nbsp+ADs- +ACY-nbsp+ADs- +ACY-nbsp+ADs- +ACY-nbsp+ADs-for a caution as the tires begin to go away. +ACY-nbsp+ADs-This translates +ADw-br+AD4- +ACY-nbsp+ADs- +ACY-nbsp+ADs- +ACY-nbsp+ADs- +ACY-nbsp+ADs- +ACY-nbsp+ADs- +ACY-nbsp+ADs-into an extremely loose setup at the start in terms of wedge +ADw-br+AD4- +ACY-nbsp+ADs- +ACY-nbsp+ADs- +ACY-nbsp+ADs- +ACY-nbsp+ADs- +ACY-nbsp+ADs- +ACY-nbsp+ADs-but becomes quite comfortable after a few gallons are exhausted. +ADw-br+AD4- +ACY-nbsp+ADs- +ACY-nbsp+ADs- +ACY-nbsp+ADs- +ACY-nbsp+ADs- +ACY-nbsp+ADs- +ACY-nbsp+ADs-This will depend on driving styles, of course, and work in +ADw-br+AD4- +ACY-nbsp+ADs- +ACY-nbsp+ADs- +ACY-nbsp+ADs- +ACY-nbsp+ADs- +ACY-nbsp+ADs- +ACY-nbsp+ADs-conjunction with the other settings you've elected to drive with. +ADw-br+AD4- +ADw-p+AD4AJg-nbsp+ADs- +ACY-nbsp+ADs- +ACY-nbsp+ADs- +ACY-nbsp+ADs- 3) As your car lightens due to fuel consumption (remember, each +ADw-br+AD4- +ACY-nbsp+ADs- +ACY-nbsp+ADs- +ACY-nbsp+ADs- +ACY-nbsp+ADs- +ACY-nbsp+ADs- +ACY-nbsp+ADs-gallon used is about 7 lbs. off your rear weight or nearly a +ADw-br+AD4- +ACY-nbsp+ADs- +ACY-nbsp+ADs- +ACY-nbsp+ADs- +ACY-nbsp+ADs- +ACY-nbsp+ADs- +ACY-nbsp+ADs-full 1+ACU- of rear bias+ACE-), you'll begin to develope a 'push' or +ADw-br+AD4- +ACY-nbsp+ADs- +ACY-nbsp+ADs- +ACY-nbsp+ADs- +ACY-nbsp+ADs- +ACY-nbsp+ADs- +ACY-nbsp+ADs-understeer. +ACY-nbsp+ADs-Eventually it'll want into the wall with more force +ADw-br+AD4- +ACY-nbsp+ADs- +ACY-nbsp+ADs- +ACY-nbsp+ADs- +ACY-nbsp+ADs- +ACY-nbsp+ADs- +ACY-nbsp+ADs-then you can counter it with without severly slowing down. +ACY-nbsp+ADs-This +ADw-br+AD4- +ACY-nbsp+ADs- +ACY-nbsp+ADs- +ACY-nbsp+ADs- +ACY-nbsp+ADs- +ACY-nbsp+ADs- +ACY-nbsp+ADs-effect acts as if more wedge has suddenly been added to you car. +ADw-br+AD4- +ADw-p+AD4AJg-nbsp+ADs- +ACY-nbsp+ADs- +ACY-nbsp+ADs- +ACY-nbsp+ADs- 4) For decent qualifying starting points, I suggest doubling or +ADw-br+AD4- +ACY-nbsp+ADs- +ACY-nbsp+ADs- +ACY-nbsp+ADs- +ACY-nbsp+ADs- +ACY-nbsp+ADs- +ACY-nbsp+ADs-even tripling your wedge settings in order to hold 'er to the +ADw-br+AD4- +ACY-nbsp+ADs- +ACY-nbsp+ADs- +ACY-nbsp+ADs- +ACY-nbsp+ADs- +ACY-nbsp+ADs- +ACY-nbsp+ADs-track with the limited warm-up period (ie. 20 lbs. race wedge, +ADw-br+AD4- +ACY-nbsp+ADs- +ACY-nbsp+ADs- +ACY-nbsp+ADs- +ACY-nbsp+ADs- +ACY-nbsp+ADs- +ACY-nbsp+ADs-I'd look at 50 to 60, maybe more, for a qualify wedge setting) +ADw-br+AD4- +ADw-p+AD4-Here's some other weight related tid-bits for you to ponder as we make our +ADw-br+AD4- way through the venues this IWCC-season. +ACY-nbsp+ADs-Guaranteed you'll be referring +ADw-br+AD4- to these for some advice (I think+ACE-) as they're what I apply to my first +ADw-br+AD4- time at a new track. +ADw-br+AD4- +ADw-p+AD4AWw-Again, these are based on 'real-world' occurances, exercise extreme caution +ADw-br+AD4- when trying these at home :) +AF0- +ADw-br+AD4- +ADw-p+AD4AJg-nbsp+ADs- +ACY-nbsp+ADs- +ACY-nbsp+ADs- +ACY-nbsp+ADs- 1) Increase REAR weight and you improve your turn exit speed, while +ADw-br+AD4- +ACY-nbsp+ADs- +ACY-nbsp+ADs- +ACY-nbsp+ADs- +ACY-nbsp+ADs- +ACY-nbsp+ADs- +ACY-nbsp+ADs- +ACY-nbsp+ADs- +ACY-nbsp+ADs- making the car looser in the middle portion of the turn. +ADw-br+AD4- +ACY-nbsp+ADs- +ACY-nbsp+ADs- +ACY-nbsp+ADs- +ACY-nbsp+ADs- +ACY-nbsp+ADs- +ACY-nbsp+ADs- +ACY-nbsp+ADs- +ACY-nbsp+ADs- In other words, improves forward speed in corners +ADw-br+AD4- +ACY-nbsp+ADs- +ACY-nbsp+ADs- +ACY-nbsp+ADs- +ACY-nbsp+ADs- 2) Increase SIDE weight (left) and you improve your cornering +ADw-br+AD4- +ACY-nbsp+ADs- +ACY-nbsp+ADs- +ACY-nbsp+ADs- +ACY-nbsp+ADs- +ACY-nbsp+ADs-
