I'm totally confused about suspension!!
In 'M-Specs Pocket Guide to GT3 Suspension Tuning' (see GT3 settings and tunings), it is suggested that if you make one end of your car softer, it will get better grip. Therefore, if you have understeer problems, make the front softer.
It also says that you can decrease the front brake balance to prevent tyres locking up, thus preventing understeer.
Does this all sound right?
So, what I don't get, is why do front wheel cars have a tendency to understeer. If the
power is at the front, don't they have more grip at the front, and should therefore not understeer? And the vice versa for rear wheel drive cars?
Would be wicked if someone could put be straight one this.
Tanks alot,
