Understanding Mechanical Grip vs. Aero Grip
Mechanical Grip: This is the grip provided by the car's suspension, tyres, and chassis. It is more influential in low-speed corners where aerodynamic forces are lower.
Aero Grip: This is the grip provided by the car's aerodynamic components, like wings and diffusers. It becomes more significant in high-speed corners where aerodynamic forces increase with speed.

Low-Speed vs. High-Speed Corners
Low-Speed Corners: These corners rely more on mechanical grip due to lower aerodynamic forces. Focus on adjustments to the suspension, tyre pressures, and camber.
High-Speed Corners: These corners rely more on aero grip due to higher aerodynamic forces. Focus on adjustments to the aerodynamics, such as wing angles and ride height.
Aerodynamics
Front Wing:

Purpose: Provides downforce on the front of the car.
Adjustments:
  • Increase: To reduce understeer (car won't turn enough).
  • Decrease: To reduce oversteer (car turns too much).
Explanation: Increasing the front wing angle adds more downforce to the front of the car, helping to keep the front tires planted and reduce understeer. Decreasing the front wing angle reduces downforce, which can help reduce oversteer by making the front end less aggressive.

Rear Wing:

Purpose: Provides downforce on the rear of the car.
  • Adjustments:
  • Increase: To reduce oversteer, better stability at high speeds.
  • Decrease: To increase straight-line speed, may cause understeer.
Explanation: Increasing the rear wing angle adds more downforce to the rear of the car, providing better stability and reducing oversteer, especially at high speeds. Decreasing the rear wing angle reduces drag, which can improve straight-line speed but may cause oversteer by making the rear end lighter.
Transmission
Differential Adjust On Throttle:
  • Purpose: Controls how power is distributed to the rear wheels when accelerating.
  • Adjustments:
  • Increase: Better traction out of corners, may cause oversteer.
  • Decrease: Easier to rotate car mid-corner, may cause understeer.
Explanation: Increasing the on-throttle differential setting locks the rear wheels together more when accelerating, providing better traction but potentially causing oversteer. Decreasing this setting allows the rear wheels to rotate more independently, making the car easier to control in corners but may cause understeer.

Differential Adjust Off Throttle:
  • Purpose: Controls power distribution when not accelerating.
  • Adjustments:
  • Increase: More stable on corner entry.
  • Decrease: Easier to rotate the car into corners.
Explanation: Increasing the off-throttle differential setting locks the rear wheels together more when you're off the throttle, providing more stability on corner entry. Decreasing this setting allows the rear wheels to rotate more independently when off the throttle, making the car easier to rotate into corners but potentially causing oversteer.

Engine Braking:
  • Purpose: Controls the amount of engine braking.
  • Adjustments:
  • Increase: More deceleration from the engine, can cause oversteer.
  • Decrease: Less deceleration from the engine, can reduce oversteer.
Explanation: Increasing engine braking can make the car less stable under braking, as the rear wheels are more likely to lock up, causing oversteer. Decreasing engine braking provides more stability under braking, reducing the likelihood of oversteer.
Suspension Geometry
Front Camber:

  • Purpose: Tilt of the front wheels.
  • Adjustments:
  • More Negative: Better cornering grip, increased tyre wear.
  • Less Negative: Less tyre wear, may reduce grip.
Explanation: More negative camber increases the contact patch of the tires during cornering, improving grip but increasing tire wear. Less negative camber reduces tire wear but may reduce grip during cornering.

Rear Camber:

  • Purpose: Tilt of the rear wheels.
  • Adjustments:
  • More Negative: Better rear grip in corners, increased tyre wear.
  • Less Negative: Less tyre wear, may reduce grip.
Explanation: More negative rear camber increases the contact patch of the rear tires during cornering, improving grip but increasing tire wear. Less negative camber reduces tire wear but may reduce grip during cornering.

Front Toe-Out:

  • Purpose: Angle of front wheels pointing outwards.
  • Adjustments:
  • Increase: Better turn-in response, may reduce stability.
  • Decrease: Increased stability, may reduce responsiveness.
Explanation: Increasing front toe-out improves turn-in response by making the front wheels point outwards, but it can reduce stability. Decreasing front toe-out increases stability but may reduce responsiveness.

Rear Toe-In:

  • Purpose: Angle of rear wheels pointing inwards.
  • Adjustments:
  • Increase: Better stability, may cause understeer.
  • Decrease: More responsive rear, may cause oversteer.
Explanation: Increasing rear toe-in improves stability by making the rear wheels point inwards, which can cause understeer. Decreasing rear toe-in makes the rear more responsive but may cause oversteer.
Suspension
Front Suspension:

  • Purpose: Stiffness of the front springs.
  • Adjustments:
  • Increase: Better responsiveness, may cause understeer.
  • Decrease: Better compliance over bumps, may cause oversteer.
Explanation: Increasing front suspension stiffness improves responsiveness by making the front springs stiffer, which can cause understeer. Decreasing front suspension stiffness improves compliance over bumps but may cause oversteer.

Rear Suspension:

  • Purpose: Stiffness of the rear springs.
  • Adjustments:
  • Increase: Better rear stability, may cause oversteer.
  • Decrease: Better traction, may cause understeer.
Explanation: Increasing rear suspension stiffness improves rear stability by making the rear springs stiffer, which can cause oversteer. Decreasing rear suspension stiffness improves traction but may cause understeer.

Front Anti-Roll Bar:

  • Purpose: Stiffness of the front anti-roll bar.
  • Adjustments:
  • Increase: Reduces body roll, may cause understeer.
  • Decrease: Allows more body roll, may cause oversteer.
Explanation: Increasing the front anti-roll bar stiffness reduces body roll by making the bar stiffer, which can cause understeer. Decreasing the stiffness allows more body roll, which can cause oversteer.

Rear Anti-Roll Bar:

  • Purpose: Stiffness of the rear anti-roll bar.
  • Adjustments:
  • Increase: Reduces body roll, may cause oversteer.
  • Decrease: Allows more body roll, may cause understeer.
Explanation: Increasing the rear anti-roll bar stiffness reduces body roll by making the bar stiffer, which can cause oversteer. Decreasing the stiffness allows more body roll, which can cause understeer.

Front Ride Height:

  • Purpose: Height of the front of the car from the ground.
  • Adjustments:
  • Increase: More ground clearance, may reduce aerodynamic efficiency.
  • Decrease: Better aerodynamics, may cause bottoming out.
Explanation: Increasing the front ride height provides more ground clearance but may reduce aerodynamic efficiency. Decreasing the front ride height improves aerodynamics but may cause the car to bottom out.

Rear Ride Height:

  • Purpose: Height of the rear of the car from the ground.
  • Adjustments:
  • Increase: More ground clearance, more rear downforce.
  • Decrease: Better aerodynamics, may reduce rear downforce.
Explanation: Increasing the rear ride height provides more ground clearance and rear downforce. Decreasing the rear ride height improves aerodynamics but may reduce rear downforce.
Brakes
Brake Pressure:

  • Purpose: Overall braking force.
  • Adjustments:
  • Increase: Stronger braking, higher risk of locking up.
  • Decrease: Less braking force, lower risk of locking up.
Explanation: Increasing brake pressure provides stronger braking but increases the risk of locking up the tires. Decreasing brake pressure reduces braking force but lowers the risk of locking up.

Front Brake Bias:

  • Purpose: Distribution of braking force between front and rear brakes.
  • Adjustments:
  • Increase: More braking force to the front, may cause understeer under braking.
  • Decrease: More braking force to the rear, may cause oversteer under braking.
Explanation: Increasing front brake bias shifts more braking force to the front, which can cause understeer under braking. Decreasing front brake bias shifts more braking force to the rear, which can cause oversteer under braking.
Tyres
Tyre Pressure:

Purpose: Pressure in each tyre.
Adjustments:

  • Increase: Less tyre deformation, better response, more tyre wear, can increase tyre temperature.
  • Decrease: More tyre deformation, better grip, less tyre wear, can decrease tyre temperature.
Explanation: Increasing tyre pressure reduces deformation, providing better response and can increase tyre temperature due to less flex in the tyre. However, it also leads to more tyre wear. Decreasing tyre pressure increases deformation, improving grip and can decrease tyre temperature due to more flex in the tyre, but it also reduces tyre wear.

  • Adjust Suspension Stiffness: Softer suspension settings can help absorb more of the track's irregularities, reducing the heat generated.
  • Increase Ride Height: Slightly increasing ride height can reduce the amount of heat generated by lowering the car's overall stress on the tyres.
  • Adjust Driving Style: Avoid aggressive driving, such as hard braking and rapid acceleration, which can increase tyre temperatures.

Cold Tyres:

  • Increase Tyre Pressure: Higher pressures can reduce the contact patch, increasing the heat generated.
  • Adjust Camber Settings: Increase negative camber to ensure the tyres generate more heat while cornering.
  • Adjust Suspension Stiffness: Stiffer suspension settings can increase the heat generated by the tyres.
  • Lower Ride Height: Lowering the ride height can increase the car's downforce, thus increasing the tyre's temperature.
  • Adjust Driving Style: Perform more aggressive driving, such as hard braking and rapid acceleration, to help increase tyre temperatures.

Unstable During Braking:

  • Increase Front Brake Bias: More braking force to the front, increasing stability.
  • Adjust Suspension Stiffness: Stiffer front suspension can help maintain stability.
