I have been racing at long beach over the past couple days, and found a
pretty decent setup. The only problem is on the front strait, the long
sweeping right I find myself spinning out alot!  It is really annoying.
Does any one else have this problem?  If not, please email me some comments
that could help me correct that problem, with minimum influence on speed!!!
 It seems like an oversteer problem but softening up the rear don't seem to
help, neither does adding down force to the rear wing.  I can't seem to
figure this out.  Help!!

Gus,

Try the things listed here one at a time.

1.stiffen front anti
2.lossen rear anti
3.increase steering lock
4.recalibrate joy(just in case)

If you are getting desent times I wouldnt fiddle with
the wings too much.

Good luck,

Try increasing the rear camber, it will help keep the rear end under you.

Without seeing your setup it's difficult to judge. You could try
stiffening the front ARB and softening the rear. You might also
reduce the front wing. Where exactly are you spinning out?
That it's not a problem I've ever encountered at LB (and I've
tried some way-out setups) makes me think that your setup may be
quite, how should we say, novel!

I've had the same problem, the car gets loose for no reason and you
find yourself trying hard to get back control at over 150MPH...
Totally unrealistic IMHO.  Downforce should max out on that
straightaway, how can a car get so loose so abruptly?  If you get any
info on this, please tell me...

Actually, a little negative stagger will help solve this problem.  If
you are using a wheel, try reducing your steering lock.  And of course
make sure you are using the 1.02 version of ICR2.
