AC GT3 @ Brands Hatch GP - Sunday 22nd March 2020

[Callum Hornby]

Count me in please Chris, car tbd! Been a long while since I've been able to race due to some redecorating, but now I've got some shiny new kit and ready to try it out Any advice on what might be a good car for getting back into it? The Macca looks to be a popular choice, seems fast but handling on a knife edge!

Heh, missed this one. Nice to see you again!

The cars are pretty well balanced here because the track layout really has a bit of everything. I'd just pick what you're interested in

@Chris Down I'm in. Car is a Z4.
Honestly, I always underestimated this car because I didn't like the sound very much. But these days I tested her a little more, and I must say I really like how this car handles. She has a slight oversteer tendency when you go on the gas when exiting from a corner, thus killing understeer and throwing you out of the corner like a rocket!
But, to be honest, I found her to be too biased towards oversteer side for my liking, so I gave her two clicks of rear wing. Now I feel she's perfectly balanced, and I like her very much. I'm also starting to appreciate the sound!

Hi. I have an issue with the Audi. I get very slight oversteer when I apply power at corner exit so I have to counter steer slightly.

I've got this slight oversteer in slow corners, as following:
T2 - slightly, only when I really hammer it, so it's not really a big issue
T3 - most of the time
T4 - most of the time (how do you take this corner anyway)
T6 - slightly sometimes.

Any idea why this might be? What I am suppose to change (i've took the setup from RD as base and changed from there):
-less diff power (70% now) ?
-softer wheel rate on the back (130 now)? (The value above the arb and height)
-height in the back?
-toe and camber?
-the driver or the foot of the driver?

Same here. Looks like this track is made for the 650s.

Hmm, I've raced here in the R8 successfully before and haven't experienced that, and @Trebucht won in the R8 before here. Let me see if I can find my setup.

Hard to say what the problem is without being in the car, but:

• 70% diff power sounds high to me for a tight track like this. Try reducing it.
• "Slight oversteer" sounds like roll oversteer instead of snap oversteer. If the oversteer is gradual, try stiffening the rear ARB a click or two.
• I would hesitate to soften the rear wheel rate because, from your description, if anything the back might be too soft already.
