When you raise the rear of a car in ACC you are shifting the centre of pressure forwards and therefore dialling more oversteer into the setup. Due to GT3 cars being very aero sensitive, you want to run the car as low as you can on the front to keep the centre of gravity as low as possible, without the risk of stalling the floor of the car or bottoming the car out over kerbs or big compressions.īecause of this, once you have settled on a good front ride height, focus then shifts to your rear ride height and balancing that with the wing level you are currently running on the car. But let’s focus on the general rules of thumb we can apply in this article. That is down to where the weight is situated within the car and therefore will promote certain tendencies. For example, front-engined and mid-engined cars will behave differently naturally. There are a couple of the areas above which can be quite specific to a particular type of car. There are a few key areas that you can focus on with rectifying oversteer in ACC through the setup. “Oversteer is where a car rotates faster than the racing driver wants and results in the rear of the car becoming unstable.” Whilst we will explore solving understeer in a separate article, our focus today is offering you some tips to identify and solve oversteer. Finding that neutral balance in the setup is a key component of going quickly in ACC and it comes down to managing both oversteer and understeer tendencies. Not only can a setup determine your overall pace, but it can also determine your consistency and race management throughout a stint. Setups play an integral part in rFactor 2.
