Hi!

Try losening the front ARB or tightening the rear one, whatever you feel
more comfortable with.

: Try losening the front ARB or tightening the rear one, whatever you feel

  I found that simply straightening the rear wheels a bit helps - i.e.
putting the toe-out/in nearer to zero.

  I also like the brakes set a bit further rear-ward - Alison's set ups
are too front brake heavy for me in most tracks.

You could also experiment with differential settings...85/30 still seems to be
what a lot of people use, although the 30 on the coast side creates an
unacceptable amount of mid corner understeer IMO. Try 45, 60 and even 85 and
take special note of how it affects the handling through the corners.

What I did to reduce the understeer in Alison's setups was to reduce the
front antirollbar a notch or two. I don't know if this is the correct way
of reducing understeer, but it works :)

I used to have my car set up with real oversteer, but now when i've started
to explore trail-braking a slight understeer is the way to go.

Good luck!

There are a number of setup changes that you could try, simply experiment a
lot.
Or, just gas it to get the tail around a bit.
The Ferrari seems to respond to throttle oversteer better than other GPL cars.

Trailbraking makes a big difference.

I also used to think that the setups were too understeery (well, maybe they
are, but just a touch), but if you're trailbraking you can balance the car
nicely as you turn in. A certain amount of understeer is pretty much
inevitable for almost all setups.

Kind regards

You better watch those sorts of comments that may be laced with
innuendo....she's also an ardent feminist, which you can find out about at
her main Web site.
