Why is Minoltaa 88C Harder Than F10?

[MowTin]

The Minolta acts more like a car with a large hp/weight ratio than the F10. Coming out of the corners its very easy to spin out in the Minolta but the F10 seems surprisingly forgiving. All aids off including ABS.

It could be the 22 years of technology between them

The Minolta is badly setup stock. Check the tuning forums for some suspension settings that vastly improve it.

Also the downforce difference?

Also the downforce difference?

That.

And actually I thought spinning while coming out of a corner might be due to the torque rather than horsepower?

Well the F10 has MANY MANY more techonological improvements.

Ones a formula car. One isnt

 

[JJ72]

Torque is much more of a problem than horsepower when coming out of corners, take a look at their torque curve.

YEs since torque is rotational force the more of that the more spin on the wheels. Like a Corvette Z06 that spins because of its torque.
Its why there are LSD's nowadays.

I'd say it's because of the downforce difference, the fact that the tuning is indispensable for the Minolta, and that one is an LM car and the other a Formula car. Have you tried the R10 or the 908 or 905 (or any of LMP)? You need extreme throttle control, otherwise you're in the gravel trap.

 

[GTP_roadrunner]

The formula racecars, no matter which one, create so much downforce, that when running on approx 110mph they would be able to run on a ceiling without falling down.

The problem is the minolta has a lot of torque. The f1 cars are soft on the torque. Horsepower is rpm x torque. Rpm is how fast a force is turning and Torque is the force it self. F1 car have a lot of rev but has low rotating force so you need 1st gear to burn tires. The minolta has high rotating force so it can burn tires in 3rd gear. For this reason you have to be easy on the throttle with the minolta.
