Yes, you will be driving an oversteering car. It will be trickier to drive but with the right level of "losing-the-rear-end", it helps you "turn-in" better therefore cutting a lot of time in the corners. You might have to adjust your driving line and braking point a bit. This is for dry races only. You don't want to drive an oversteering car in the wet. -- Isaac Wong % Protel Compiler Group TEL: (613) 763-6127 % Carleton University, Ottawa, Canada
A bit of advice. Set the front wing quite high. nearly all tracks will require 57 -64 at the front and the rear at about 30- 40. Set the brake balance back to 7 -14 R and you should be able to turn in hard with a little oversteer. By having the brake balance back so far you should be able to get a turn in under braking (as the rear end breaks away) and therefore it is possible to brake just that little bit later still. You will find now that some of those bends where you ran out of road are now possible flat. Vince

Actually, the setups given above will understeer very badly. A setup like 64/40 is close to neutral. What really makes the car oversteer is heavy rear brake bias, somewhere between 10R and 20R (usually 14R). How true. Then again, I don't want to drive ANY racecar in the wet. *grin* -- Gizmo http://www.mal.com/~dgymer/ -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Launchpad is an experimental internet BBS.
