Does anybody know how to make a car favor to a side? This meaning, for example, if the wheel is being held straight the car would still want to go to the left. This may seem like a funny or useless question, but it's useful for tuning a car on ovals. I was tuning an FGT for the Induanapolis oval, FGT being my indycar equivalent, and I know that in real life, if you have ever watched the Indy 500, the cars run a line that is different from a traditional high on the straights, low in the corners line, like a NASCAR. This is because indycars on ovals setup the car so that the tire camber is slanted to the left, allowing for greater cornering speeds but also making the car favor left. The weird line where they dip down on the straights, keeping speed up by allowing the car to go where it naturally wants. Unfortunately, GT5 only let's us camber the tire so it's tilted inward on the front and rears, not individually with positive and negative camber. So does anybody know away around the camber, to make the car favor by itself?
 
No, tuning is symmetrical and will not favour a side, but that's okay because oval racing is not real racing.

Regardless of the car, regardless of the track, and regardless of the surface, as long as the goal is to get from point A, to point B, faster than the guy next to you... it's real.
 
Turn damage on and smack a wall with the opposite side that you want it to pull to. But, don't leave the race. Other than that, what MrGrado said
 
Lol, I knew one person would say smack the wall.

Racing is racing is racing. No secret indycar is my personal favorite, growing up in the American Mid-West and all, but did you know that NASCAR driver's endure a greater sustained g-load then F1 drivers? All racing takes a skill, be it oval or road courses, it takes a driver to win it.

The socks in my washing machine pull more g's than the both of them and could probably turn left just as well.
 
ITT - Hero's who would literally crap their pants if they did a few hotlaps on an oval with a cup driver. Racing is racing, it all takes the same skill level, most of the cup drivers race other disciplines in the off season and even during.

Other one that annoys me is Drag racing takes no skill, yet Courtney Force probably has bigger balls than all here, straddling a 9000HP time bomb every weekend. Sorry for off topic.

I'm sorry but Nascar is for people who can't turn right.

Really?Being that your such a die hard racing guy/tuner, I guess you didn't watch the Nationwide race from Montreal Saturday.With all those ex Formula 1, Indy and Trans Am drivers did you.Lots of lefts going on there.Let me guess,drag racing isn't real either because they don't turn at all.I wish I still had my super modified Dirt car and listen to you scream like a little girl in the first left turn,which I am actually turning right.Know your motor sports or don't post anything that looks like an epic fail.

Your sock is not a living creature having to endure the g-load that a driver does for 4 hours while making split-second judgements. It's taxing to do, drivers lose up to 12 pounds in one race. Its a physical thing to do, and that's scientific. The sock is a terrible example though, a golf ball in a tornado does the same, it's not accomplishing anything.

Racing is racing is racing. Oval racing takes expertise on the drivers part as well, and anyone who says otherwise clearly doesn't understand racing. The ways of utilizing the banking to make speed, setting up overtakes, hitting the line on a dime every lap while enduring the g-force and making constant decisions. On a road course being a little off the apex in a turn is fine, won't cost too much, you can come back. Get a little off the apex in Indy 500 and your in the wall at over 200 mph. Indycar more so then NASCAR, takes a lot of balls. It's more dangerous because there is no margin for error or it gets serious in a hurry. But NASCAR is longer races too. All racing is valid, road course or oval, NASCAR or F1, it all counts.

What, you think F1 is better for not running ovals, haha, learn your sport!

It takes skill to drag race, the g-force of acceleration is insane, plus you gotta hold on to it, deffinently takes skill. Racing is racing is racing :)

Seperate posts made at the same time, what's wrong with that?
