Patched ICR2 Handling Questions

3 posts by 3 people · 22 Jul 1996 - 22 Jul 1996

: After applying the Patch to ICR2, I've noticed that all of the race : setups (full tanks) are now causing severe oversteer while the : qualifying setups seem to be OK. At Michigan where I had a good : stable race setup in the past, I now can't run a full lap flat out : without spinning entering T4. No matter what I do to try to fix the : oversteer, right rear tire heats up to 300F and spin within 2 laps! : BTW, the qualifying setups provided with the patch are really good. I : broke my own record at Louden (183 MPH) and Michigan (235 MPH) right : off the bat after applying the patch. The race settings however... I am not sure, but I don't think that the patch altered any of the default setups. I do know that I have never been good at getting a solid fast setup at Michigan. Oh, I can qualify well when I push it (top 4 if I am lucky). However, my race setups lack speed for the the first 10-20 gals, but I do pretty well as the load lightens. I haven't had too much trouble with the RR tire. I would suggest go up a notch or two in compound. I don't know, I may be running too little down force in exchange for straight away speed. Anyway here is my stable setup for the Race, runs great with 25 or less gals. Fuel: 40 gallons 1st Gear: 11.70 Steering Lock: 8 degrees 2nd Gear: 7.90 Stagger: +0.400 inches 3rd Gear: 6.10 4th Gear: 5.00 Front Wing: 3.10 5th Gear: 4.30 Rear Wing: 3.00 6th Gear: 4.20 Boost Level: 0 Front Anti-Roll: 4 Rear Anti-Roll: 5 Brake Bias: 3 TIRE COMPOUND PSI CAMBER SHOCK Right Front Hard 36 -1.90 70% Right Rear Medium 35 -1.20 80% Left Rear Soft 39 -0.30 90% Left Front Soft 40 -0.80 80% Maybe some of you pros out there won't mind enlightening this befuddled mechanic on how to get a few more mph out this car with a full fuel load. -- **************************** Michael E.

Australia, Elkart and loudon<sp> I found I was able to push more in corners where I had difficulties. no problems in racing. just practice a lot to get used to it. it's different from before the patch did that change?
