Indycar II oversteer problem!

After purchasing the ICR2, the understeer problem I encountered in the demo has now changed to oversteer! But overall, the feeling's good.

After a whole night running in Vancouver, I found out that decreasing the rear tires' pressure give more grip and compensate the oversteer a lot.Here's my setting in Vancouver. First load "easy", then change......to: Front wing: 18 Rear shock: both 10 RL tire pressure: 32( at cool) RR tire pressure: 28( at cool) But I haven't run a long race with this setting so I am not sure whether the rear tire can last for some distance without overheat or blowing up. Try lower the front wing if there's still difficulty, but maybe time will be lost in some slow speed corner. Hope this helps! Vincent

Talk to the guy in the earlier post who had understeer problems! I think the speed you carry into the corners and the amount of acceleration you get off of the corners is much more crucial than in ICR1 Jeff

I was able to get rid over the oversteer by massively softening the rear shocks. I haven't been playing long enough to work out a proper setup, but at least I could get around the track a few times. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Lorne Epp Nanaimo, B.C.

If your oversteer happens during braking, increase the brake balance forward. This has helped my control immensely. Otherwise, the softening shocks thing seems to work best. Letting air outta the tires can heat them up unevenly and seems to cause faster wear for me.
