Alison's Ferrari...

Hi! Try losening the front ARB or tightening the rear one, whatever you feel more comfortable with. Regards Crash Richard S Beckett schrieb:

You could also experiment with differential settings...85/30 still seems to be what a lot of people use, although the 30 on the coast side creates an unacceptable amount of mid corner understeer IMO. Try 45, 60 and even 85 and take special note of how it affects the handling through the corners.

What I did to reduce the understeer in Alison's setups was to reduce the front antirollbar a notch or two. I don't know if this is the correct way of reducing understeer, but it works :) I used to have my car set up with real oversteer, but now when i've started to explore trail-braking a slight understeer is the way to go. Good luck! -- Olav K. Malmin remove spam when replying

There are a number of setup changes that you could try, simply experiment a lot. Or, just gas it to get the tail around a bit. The Ferrari seems to respond to throttle oversteer better than other GPL cars. JM

Trailbraking makes a big difference. I also used to think that the setups were too understeery (well, maybe they are, but just a touch), but if you're trailbraking you can balance the car nicely as you turn in. A certain amount of understeer is pretty much inevitable for almost all setups. Kind regards Ryan
