Understeer, setup or driving style? |

So I saw an interesting driving analysis on the S-397 forum |
|
today and is something I know I am guilty of, so thought I would |
|
share. I tend to keep a little throttle through some corner, |
|
which can help keep the car more balance, or correct some |
|
oversteer issues, but can also leads to understeer. This guy |
|
sums it up best. |
|
[center]In driving your main issue, is you need to let the car |
|
turn for a bit more time, letting the car roll a bit more and |
|
then get back on power, you feel the car going slow and you try |
|
to get back on power too early and this makes the understeer |
|
appear, wait a bit more to get back on power, this will decrease |
|
the understeer and you will be able to get back to full power |
|
earlier. |
|
Braking shape is good but I will try to do a bit more regression |
|
(trail off), as it seems you are turning in with too much |
|
pressure so this may create the turn in understeer. |
|
When you lift the throttle on fast corners, try not to do it |
|
quickly as its often better to keep more % and lift more slowly |
|
than lift too much and then jump back on the power, this |
|
unbalances the car changing to quickly the load moving |
|
front-rear-front, if you keep more % and lift for more time the |
|
car won't change too much the ride height so will be balance for |
|
more time.[/center] |

I can't stand understeer, But I also can't stand too much corner |
|
exit oversteer. I too sometimes use a bit of throttle to get |
|
through a corner smoothly. |

I end up double braking instead of trail braking when I am |
|
attempting to push the limit. Always guilty of coming in too hot |
|
and smashing the brake to turn the car. |

Braking earlier is faster in most cases. It allows the weight to |
|
transfer slower and doesn't upset the car as much, which means |
|
you don't have to wait as long to get back on throttle. |

I tend to brake early and if i get in too hot lift a bit so back |
|
end starts to go slightly then get back on power to catch it :) |
