I believe that this is the result of a "mismatch" between your anti-roll- bars and your springs. Your springs are too understeery and your ARB's are too oversteery or visa-versa. To get more oversteer stiffen the rear and/or soften the front, to get more understeer do just the opposite. I have no system for it, it's just trial and error. Since your problem is with accelleration you might want to fiddle with the rear rebound dampers too. Good luck! **** Posted from RemarQ - http://www.remarq.com - Discussions Start Here (tm) ****
I have just switched from racing the Eagle to the Ferrari and was wondering if anyone can give me some suggestions on the setup problems I am having. I am currently running at Silverstone and with the default setup the car seems to slew back and forth under heavy acceleration in the higher gears. It is very hard to keep the car in a straight line to say the least, but I am really happy with the way it corners. I never had this problem at all with the Eagle, so I don't think this is some kind of controller problem. I read that adding some toe-in to the fronts would help this, but it seems to have little effect, and beyond that I am not sure what would help cure this problem. I have already lowered my best time while running the Ferrari, but I am sure that I could improve it considerably if I could apply the throttle without the loss of car control at higher speeds.
