Radical SR3 @ Oschersleben

[Toonces]

Oschersleben (recently updated by tmm) is short if not exactly sweet, with mostly slow corners and a lot of switchbacks (aka chicanes), and Shaun Clarke's marvelous little Radical SR3 is perfectly suited to this kind of a layout. The quick changes in direction call for minimal roll, so the bars and springs have been stiffened and the shocks softened (you could also make a case for stiffening the springs and shocks and softening the bars). The result is a very responsive car that doesn't have to be driven aggressively to make its point. Ten-lap race setup.

Hello,

Thanks for this setup.
I have 1 question, I find the car hops around the corners.

What should be done to resolve this problem?

Try raising the ride height and softening the shocks a bit.

I will test

Also, if the hopping happens under braking, mess with the brake balance.

If it happens under acceleration (although it shouldn't in a low-powered car like the SR3), fool with the diff power setting.

Hi,

I tried with another setup and i have the same problem

I think that I have 1 problem with this track. I will test with 1 other car

Probably not the track. I have never had any problems with Oschersleben in any small car. Cars with more torque than common sense (like the tire-shredding Lister Storm), yes, but small-ish cars like the SR3, no.
