There was a URL that was called "Quick Fix Setup Guide" from which I downloaded this
guide that told you what to adjust for certain conditions, i.e. push going into
corner, do this, push coming out, do that, etc. This was written for NASCAR, but to
translate into IndyCar just substitute wings for front/rear bias and ignore left bias
and cross weight. Unfortunately, I can't recall the URL but if you do a search you
should be able to find it. As far as specific techniques for IndyCars, I've found the
best approach is to aim for even tire temps all the way around. This isn't always
possible, of course, because you'll never have a left front as hot as a right front
on an oval course. But for road courses, do whatever it takes (more shock, less
pressure, compound) to get that tire up to temp. Whenever I find the car pushing, I
usually take wing out of the rear before I add it to the front, decreasing drag and
correcting the push at the same time. The same applies for a loose condition. As
well, the roll bars have a lot more effect than in ICR1, and you really have to watch
how you have them set, as anyone who has lost the rear end suddenly can atest to.
This is even more crucial on the ovals.
Hope this helps.
