GP2 Loose Steering at Higher Speeds

by RWDE » Wed, 21 Apr 1999 04:00:00

I use a T2 contoller and notice that whenever I am in a straightaway at top
speed I begin to lose control of the car and the car wants to go to the left.
What's the adjustment I need to make to keep the steering solid at high speeds?
Thanks.

There are three things you can do.

1)  Re-calibrate your controls, making sure that the
    steering axis is perfectly centered.

3)  Decrease your steering lock/ratio.  I think this
    is in the car setup menu.

2)  Increase your speed sensitive steering.  I forget
    what GP2 calls this, but it's in the advanced
    control options menu.

Imperfect calibration would explain the car pulling
to the left - try recalibrating first.  Losing control
indicates too much steering sensitivity.  I personally
prefer to keep speed sensitive steering to a minimum,
so I'd try reducing steering lock first.

Along with the other ideas that Pat suggests, I have found that  "dirty"
steering pot can contribute to cross-talking between the gas/brake and
steering.  You may also want to clean your steering pot.
