I use to know why it did this and how to fix it but i haven't played gt5 in forever and i ran into the problem again.

Whenever im at a lower speed. Under 60 on certain cars and im 100% off the gas and going into a turn i will randomly lose back end grip and then the entire right side of my tire guage thing turns red but not the left and i just do a little slid. (if i lose grip going into left turn thats what happens)

But it doesn't happen at higher speeds and while i rune a lower rear downforce than anyone tunes i see on gtplanet that shouldn't affect the car at low speeds.

What can i try to correct this?

EDIT:
-Don't think its dampers because there untouched
-Also not break balance because im not on breaks when it does it.

what car and set up? what your describing at least to me sounds little odd. if it was suspension it would happen at any speed. and aero wont help much at low speeds.
 
What tyres were you using, and what car, some vehicles tend to be tricky to drive due to low grip at slow corners.
 
Sounds like a car that is very Aero dependent to me. Always tune without Aero for a base then add it as needed. The springs and Dampers will most likely need re adjusted to account for the extra weight at speed but the geometries and LSD should be only effected positively after Downforce is added.
 
Something I just thought about. If this was tune say 2.09 or previous the physics of the game changed and previous camber and tow settings are no longer effective on most cars. try adjusting them a tad. Reduce the camber on the rear wheels see how that works out. than add some positive toe to the rear.

Its the 787b and Minolta. Both are completely planted when going fast enough so its not lack of aero.

Racing Hard. But i always use these and gtplanet has helped me fix this before.

I have to re-patch my ps3 and re-do my profile so any previous setting were erased. So starting over again without previous tunes. (were do i check to see current version again because i know i'm not fully patched.)

-For tune advice like lowering LSD and stuff i will try them once i am on GT5 again. I have thanksgiving early today though so i cannot do that now.
 
Start the tune of with no aero at all. Then set the LSD and suspension to a setting that feels good, then add aero as needed. Downforce should be a last resort because high speed stability only means you'll be ahead on the straights.
 
To check your game version just load the game if it permits you to update your not current.
As for the 787b it's a tail happy car at low speed with the current patch. Camber of 1.5-2.1 is the sweet spot depending on your aero setting. Toe is around 0.15-0.25 depending on how much rotation you want.
 
Downshifting at the wrong time can do this. It may also be that you are just going too fast into the corner as well. I drive the 787B all the time at the Nurb on RH tires without ABS and I don't have that issue so that's why I'm suggesting it might be human error.
