F1RS: Interlagos, body clearance.

2 posts by 2 people · 22 Jan 1998 - 23 Jan 1998

I'm getting rather frustrated over my setup for Interlagos. The setup I currently utilise walks a thin line between oversteer in certain corners and oversteer in others. But the most annoying part is the huge amount of ground scraping. I checked my ground clearance on the telemetry, but there's a minimum of 4 mm clearance. MEaning, the car never touches the track. I have a possible explanation in that it is the outer front or rear of the plank that hits the track. It only happens after the corner towards start-finish and the end of the long straight after the first chicane. I've also heard it scrape a few times under braking. I've set the chassis at 67mm front and 70 rear, and this greatly increases my understeer and hampers topspeed, reducing laptimes to 1:18:8**. Anyone have some advice?
Interlagos is notorious for that bumpiness on the main straight. Ubi have replicated this very well. To assist in your u/steer, o/steer problem, try using the spring settings for some fine tuning. Softening the front roll bar/increasing the rear bar will induce oversteer (or REDUCE) understeer) and vice-versa. Hardening your front spring setting/softening the rear can also help. One thing I have found with F1RS is that each increment of adjustment has an effect! -- Bruce (at work) "Laziness is nothing more than the habit of resting before you get tired." (Jules Renard)
