Hello, I’m relatively new to tuning and currently I’m trying to dial in a sesto elemento FE. It’s alright up until I hit a chicane, (sudden tight twisty corners) in which the rear wheel always slides out. I’ve heard that ways to fix this are adjusting the damping and ARB’s, but I’m not actually sure what exactly I should do with them to fix that. It’s also possible I’m just bad at driving. Sorry if this is a novice question, and if anyone already answered then just respond with the link please.
Thanks
I’m a newcomer to the tunning world as well, but I’ve been testing letting my springs stiffer and damping at the same ratio as the springs. Eg: if my spring bar is about 75%, I’ll let my rebound bar at 75% as well. When talking about damping, I put values about 50%-75%. I really don’t know if this is the best setup, but my driving control improved a lot after this optimizations I’ve done.

I’m gonna be that guy, who gives driving advice when someone asks for tuning advice, I’m sorry. But it’s also worth looking at.
A chicane is a perfect place to lose control of your vehicle if you dont drive with stability. If you jump off the throttle and turn in, go back on throttle and then jump off it again while also turning in the opposite direction now… you’re effectively trying to initiate a drift. If you do that the weight of the car goes front-rear-front AND side to side. It’s just asking for too much.
You can tune extra stability in but also try introducing regularity to the driving. Try to just coast throughout the chicane as you veer side to side. Or ride the brakes very lightly. Or modulate your throttle down just a bit as you input steering.
The Sesto has some pretty great handling in the stock configuration. Sure there are some adjustments to rebound and bump that’ll quieten the chicanes down a bit. But for now the best thing to pay attention to if you are using at least the braking line is the arrows. If the arrows are red, no tuning is going to keep you from loosing control and wrecking. Tuning will come into play when you learn vehicle control and want to make those corners with the arrows orange colored. Without car control you’ll need those arrows to be blue or slightly yellow.
Start off with one of the better tuning apps available for apple or android devices, Forza Tune 7! is one and It’ll give you a base tune and as you drive the vehicle and figure out what it needs, does it need more or less turn in, is it loose on corner exit for example. There are sliders for you to adjust and fine tune it.
I don’t use it as much these days but when I did, I paid attention to what adjustments it called for on different setups (street, dirt, cross country) and learned from it so today I can just drive the vehicle first and make the right adjustments to dial it in!!
