I like a bit of oversteer and a stiff car -i'm finding that hard to set up. the rear breaks away or i understeer into walls ect. Its exit i seem to lose out on. I noticed playing with steering rates (degree's and steering speed) helps alot. But there is so much more to it. I can and know about camber toe ect, tyre pressures all that i'm on top of. Gears i'm not they end up all over. Also its a mind job when working with packers ect -what are they actually doing?
Anyway i will get this info from you bit by bit as i don't need to overload as il be off changing all kinds. I'l have a look at the thread - thanks.
It might be entry speed issues + braking, more than setup. If you try to brake really late (that's the first mistake people make), but fear letting go of the brake early, the tyres will be unable to recover and you'll be braking with loads of weight transfer, making the car unstable and trying to turn all at the same time. End result is the car will feel really unstable and it will be scary, forcing you to slow down more as you go roound the corner, and then to make up for it you have to put the gas on harder, thus more chance of a spin on exit. Some corners highlight this more than others.
Biggest leap forward for my times so far in a sim was learning to brake controlled, and to let go of the brake (or at least ease off considerably) as you get to the turn in point.What you are looking for is as much stability in the tyres and car as possible as you go for the hard turns. The more stable it is, the more grip you are able to leave in the tyres, that faster you can go round it. Taking the apex perfectly has a big impact, too.
Basically, the car needs to be very stable and the weight transfer going back to normality before you dare turn. If you do this, you simply brake hard, let go a little earlier, coast round the corner much faster because the tyres have more grip, and then you don't have so much throttle issues on exit because you had more speed and tyre grip in the corner, and thus, it's exit.
That's how i do it, at least, but i'm not amazing with my times, etc. And my technique could be wrong anyway!
