Ok so for the most part my cars handle pretty well but since I got a steering wheel I’ve noticed a few things that my rwd cars are struggling with. When I go to slam them into a corner like the long follow through after turn 1 in Spa my rear end will let loose. Normally you can still keep your foot on the throttle in the lower classes but my car reaches the limit of the tires in which I believe the car is still rolling which breaks the car lose. I though about adjusting the anti-rollbars but that hasn’t worked for me. Any ideas on how to help adjust this to prevent my RWD cars from breaking lose? I think their’s a bump in their too that also help breaks them lose but I’m not sure.
If it is indeed corner exit oversteer due to a bump, I’d try reducing rear rebound, then also try softening rear ARB.
it’s entry but sometimes exit. My default for all my cars are as follows because I don’t understand the rebound and dampening
Front 10.00
Rear 11.00
Front 2.5
Rear 2.5
Drop the rear setting to like 8 or 9 if 10 is where you like the front.
thank you, I’ll be trying it when I get home tonight.
What i have found when tuning with a wheel, is that you need to tune your cars with a bias towards understeer. A bit more to the front springs or arb’s should do the trick or lower the rear. It is a good way to tame what you are experiencing with the wheel. You can t really tune a car for the wheel as the same for a controller.
Keep your rebound and bump settings equal and add to the front or lower the rear for the springs and arb’s. Then adjust a bit more by lowering the rear rebound by 1 until you get the rear tamed.
And driving with simulation steering is a handful imo.
I’ll give you more of my tuning info when I get back home.
The reason your car could be losing grip may not be the tune and possibly the build. Try it with and with out a cage. If you have determined it is not the build and is more tune do what these guys said but you can also try these ideas
Since its corner entry try (these numbers will be what I run fyi):
raising your decel (20)
lowering your accel (50)
lower rear spring (50-100lbs higher then front)
raise front arb (15 front and 20 rear or I swap them)
increase rear tire pressure (28.0 front 28.5 rear)
now none or all of these may work but after you give us more info on the build and tune im sure we can help you dial it in. My numbers in the (are just general numbers and not whats on every car I just thought I would share them with you)
I personally like a little more of a stiff and loose car for better feeling while turning in and exiting but my style doesn’t work for everybody.
I have a few RWD cars shared, I believe the Dart, and the Plymouth GTX. The 1990 Camaro is the one that giving me the most problem though. They are all roughly the same except the spring ratio and roll bar.
I keep the springs within 150lbs front springs lower,
The anti roll-bars are Front 10 and rear 14.50 which is my base tune.
the differential is usaully 50-60 accel and 35 decel.
Front chamber is 3.6 and rear chamber varies but I usually settle at 1.5
I will give you the camaro tune when I get home but thats all I can bring up from memory.
D-Class 1990 Camaro
Front and Rear Tires 27.5
Front Chamber -3.5
Rear Chamber -1.0
Front Anti-roll bars 10.04
Rear Anti-roll bars 13.50
Front Springs 450.4
Rear Springs 600.1
Ride height front and back 5.9
Rebound both are 10.0
Bump both 2.5
No Aero
Brake 48% to the Rear
Brake pressure 200
Diff 50% accel
Decel 35%
Some adjustments I just made due to your advice seems to be working:
Installed Sports Roll Cage
Rear Anti rolls bars 14.00
Front Springs 600.2
Rear Springs 450.3
Rear rebound 8.0
That was all I changed, she doesn’t let lose that much anymore, now it’s more throttle control for breaking lose.
