car ballast adjustment

[Kalaspuffar]

So how does this work?

Can I change the weight arround in the car?

Say I have my tailhappy Shelby gt350 , can I put som more weight in the back to get more traction on the rearweels?

Yes and no to traction. Like a Porsche 911 the majority of the cars weight is on the rear axles. This is good and bad. You see as you get off the line a rear biased car gives a better launch due to more traction. However in the corners like the infamous 911 the car tends to over steer and lowered stability. Vice Versa if you switch the weight forward the car will tend to under steer like a dodge charger or Mercedes CL. So in short if you want a more over steer car you can shift the ballast to the rear and Vice Versa. On the subject all race cars have ballasts (water tanks), to keep the weight at the minimum restriction i.e. Formula 1. So by increasing the Ballast your increasing weight. In GT5 this also decreases PP
