Everytime I go around a fast turn with my mclaren f1 the back justs whips out even when i convert to all wheel drive. Can anybody help tune it so it doesn’t do this even when i start braking?

Try reducing the rear anti roll bar, or lowering the rear spring or both. Also, reduce the differential of the accel setting to around 25-35%. one last thing, one thing that works for me is to crank the front camber to -2.8/-3.0 and the rear camber to -1.2. For some reason I find the F1 loves camber, You should be running max aero on front and rear for the f1 since its bodywork basically has no downforce. Stiffening the suspension in the F1 is risky because of how light it is for the amount of torque the engine produces. Be easier on the beginning of the turn, point it in the direction you want to go out of the turn, then accelerate with good throttle control. The f1 is one of those cars that you just gotta use a lot and get used to, and it can compete with leaderboard cars. I have multiple top 100 times and even a top 50 time on indy GP with the mclaren.

You could also try increasing the decel setting on the diff.

I had some similar problems with mine. It had some pronounced drop-throttle issues in its stock configuration. This was mostly resolved with a more conservative differential setting (30/15) and by slightly increasing the front ride height. Increasing the rear camber to around two degrees will help with the post apex oversteer. Don’t go overboard with the front camber, as this will make the car twitchy at speed. Finally, the damping was too stiff, which made the car skittish over rough surfaces. Try reducing the rear bump stiffness by a few tenths for a start. Let me know if you need more help. This is a tricky one to crack.

These are the following causes of high speed oversteer:

  1. Springs - Front too soft in relation to the rear.
  2. Aero - Rear downforce too low in relation to the front downforce.
  3. Too much Toe out in Rear.
  4. Rear Camber too low.
  5. Rear Tyre Pressure too high
  6. Rear ride height too high in relation to the front ride height
    Damping is also a cause but doesn’t affect the car too much…
    Hope this helps!
