Hi Jim,
thanks for the compliments! The setup is indeed very neutral at trailing
throttle, and if you're entering the turns fully without throttle, you
will most likely spin (no brakes are needed on turn entry). The fronts
will lock way before the rears will, so that is not happening.
Just enter the turn, and tailor your line with the throttle, you should
be fine then. If not, go to data/phy directory, open the car.phy file,
and at the bottom there are some aerodynamic parameters (three PhyAero
declarations). I think the second one is the rear wing, increase the
value for Cl for it if you still find the setup too loose.
Indeed, trackside cameras are the next thing to add ;).
Cheers,
-Gregor
