This is probably a question better suited for the
Seasonals forum, but
here is a thread with ten or so 111R tunes. I used one of them to win that race.
Actually, as this is about tuning, the Tuning section would've ben more apt. Especially as I've seen threads in there that detail brake and LSD settings that would answer the OP's question.
Just copying someone else's tune, you won't learn anything, and next time the problem arises with another car you'll be just a stuck as you are now. By adjusting the relevant parts with the OP's setup in place he'll be able to see and feel the affects of the changes, helping him to understand and apply any knowledge to other cars.
Soo...
I'm driving with that Elise 111R, almost stock, in the Expert Challenge Race from 08-06. I bought the customisable LSD, rest is stock.
As we all know the Elise is tail happy when approaching a corner.
First thing I did was adjust brake balance from 5-5 to 5-2.
That solved the problem, laptimes were a nice 53:500 and was easy win.
Then I decided to set brake balance back to 5-5, and adjust LSD under braking (normally 20) to 45.
That also solved the problem, laptimes again 53:500
So I was wondering... whats best?
What would you adjust and why? Brake balance, LSD or a combination of both?
The brakes and the braking sensitivity in the LSD do two different things and are applicable to two different sections of 'corner' entry.
Adjusting the brakes will affect what happens when the brake is being used, as soon as you lift off the brake, the braking sensitivity on the LSD kicks in.
So depending on whether the car is oversteering when you brake or after you've lifted off the brake will determine what exactly you need to change.
With regards to what you have done, you are correct:
Oversteer when braking - usually you'll have to have the front brakes higher than the rear sometimes by 1 / 2 / or 3+ (depending how bad the oversteer is).
However, if your brakes are currently set at something other than default or level, then returning them to default might be worth trying and then changing them 1 click at a time to get the desired affect.
Oversteer once you've released the brake - usually adjusting the braking sensitivty on the LSD to a higher amount will help here. However, this setting also applies to lift off acceleration aswell (as brakes) so you need to be careful not to overdo it and subesequently make the car understeer when you're lifting off the throttle aswell.
Sometimes other factors can be utilised to help the rear end be stable - i.e. camber and toe figures, but the brakes and LSD are a good place to start.
If you running minimal camber, say under 1.0, you could push this up to anywhere between 1.5-2.0. If your running negative toe, then maybe change this to a minmal + toe figure BUT too much + toe can result in understeer at the front.
Also note - having a rear ride height lower than the front ride height will also induce 'lift off' oversteer, both after braking and under acceleration.
Good luck

stop wasting the time of people trying to help (those who genuinely need help), think they know something (when they don't) and then throw the help they've received back in the face of the people trying to help them.
