[Fot] Settings TR8 IMSA

[tr4racing at googlemail.com]

The car has anti roll bars on both axles.

The rear one is adjustable and currently on the softest setting.

Going softer wouldn't be wise as the cornering forces are that high, that
the suspension will bottoming out with no roll bar.

So I'm on the softest what the car can do. 1.6 to 1.8G on cornering if
things go well.

 

Cheers

What about the anti roll bars on the car?

Are you running one on the rear?

 

Have you tried softening the rear bar or removing it?

Hi Guys,

 

at the last weekend I had time to test the TR8 and messed with tire
pressures, camber, spring rates and stuff.

It went that far, that the rear springs are softer now than they was.

That helped a little to cure the oversteer.

 

Next step will be to try out different tire compounds.

At the track side was a tire truck and the people were helpful to examine
the tire surface.

 

It seems the front comes on temperature while the rear end stays cold.

So they suggested to test medium compound at front, and soft compound at
rear.

 

And they said, I'm a too gentle driver and I'm not using the tire enough,
which is bad for their business as with this kind of driving, the tires will
last ages.

 

In one week the car goes to Le Mans - the small track - and there I can test
the car further while racing.

I'm curious how the soft rear tires will perform.

 

Cheers

Chris
