F1RS & Curbs

1 post by 1 person · 27 Nov 1997 - 27 Nov 1997

I've started trying to produce a set of setups across differing downforce levels - the aim to produce competitive times for races as opposed to do or die hotlapping. To this end I chose Hungary to develop a high downforce setup - this has been successful - achieving pole with all aids off at Expert level with a bansai (for me) effort. Transferring this setup to a low downforce track (Monza), adjusting the downforce and gearing, has presented me with a problem with the curbs. At Hungary I can clatter all over the curbs - which at least allows for an error in braking or close racing to allow me to get away with a loss of time - At Monza if I touch the curbs around I go! Is it that the car behaves differently over curbs with a lower downforce - or are the curbs at Monza a no go area? I've tried softening the rear to compensate (my Hungary setup runs very stiff at the rear), to no avail over the curbs and too much understeer elsewhere. Has anybody developed a stable setup over the curbs at Monza? Cheers Tony
