Heavy understeer with FF cars

[QwarK]

Hi

I’m quite new to Gts and having understeer with ff cars. Any tips on tuning this ??

Kind regards.

Stiffen up the rear, loosen up the front generally helps. Accelerator control too.

Not much front grip during acceleration either. A lot of wheel spin. I do not remember this with GT5 and 6. Having to turn traction control up to compensate. Any tips would be appreciated.

I find that GT Sport really does need you to be careful with throttle inputs, it's just most noticeable with FF.

As a result I really don't enjoy driving them

Point and squirt it. Feather the brake into the corner, coast round and pour on the coals once you're mostly turned. They make up for it in outright speed.
Be aware you become a target as unless you've been able to pull away sufficiently in the meantime, your earlier braking point and late power delivery puts you within nerfing distance.
Deadly if you can break away early!

Put some lower values on the differential like 20-10-5, you can increase the rear camper & decrease rear toe angle! Oh & the antiroll bars to 10 front & 1 or 3 rear and harder rear spring rate!

Also having this same issue using civic type r.. I used to put sport soft tires on the rear and racing hards on the front before tuning suspension but with the tyre setup it’s barely possible to drive down a straight. Physics seem broken. Been heavy into gr.3 since beta so decided to go back to what I did most in gt past and use slow ff and time attack tracks but kinda put off now.. is this just something with civic that’s a known issue or are all ff cars like this?

Front wheel drive is so disappointing in GT Sport, I own a Clio Trophy, and the in game representation in no way simulates driving the real thing.

It's like the devs went to kwikfit and bought a set of ditch finders...

It's the same for almost all road cars. Their grip is just garbage. ... 0 grip/traction.
For me it's the same for almost every car game (GT, AC, PCars,...RF2)

I'm having no issues with them now that I max the diff accel. I run it at 5, 60, 10. Easy throttle until I have room to accelerate out of the corner. More loose set up in the suspension as well.

I don't know i love the feeling from the ff cars in gts...

Wouldn't that make things worse?
I always believed softening the anti rollbar at the front would help with understeer?

Nope it's gonna increase the roll of the car so the weight transfer towards the opposite side where you're turning is going to drag the car! That's how i see it anyway it helps me do better lap times!keeping the front planted with stiffer roll bar & loosen the rear it's my way to go with fwd cars

Softer ARB at the front is generally associated with moving the car towards oversteer and away from understeer.

Yes but just try put it 10 front & 4 rear along with 10-30-5 lsd in the civic type r for example & let me know if it feels better or not! Idk but it helped me a lot! Arb alone it's not gonna make the car understeering, it's going to make it a little stiffer & predictable!

I'm running my civic and Focus with arb f8-r7. Along with stiff suspension around 2.00ish f, 2.10ish r. Only using 1.8 front camber, and 2.0+ rear. They feel great, the arb setting helps them feel more stable and easy to control, while the lower camber up front helps with traction. Also running 0 toe up front and rear.

I should have clarified that I was talking about real life...which often bears little resemblence to tuning in the GT series
