general
|
- Softer springs and sway bars make for increasing grip in turns,
but will decrease the car's responsiveness. In a chicane or an S-turn
you'd rather go for response
- Balance grip vs. response by adjusting spring (bump/rebound) and sway bar tensions
|
- decreasing tire pressure adds grip to the tires, but slows the car down
- the more balanced tire temps are, the more grip
- increasing camber makes for better turning, but increases tire temps and wear
- balance tire temps by adjusting camber versus tire pressure
|
- Increasing front/rear spoiler adds downforce with increasing speed - but
slows down the car
- Balance topspeed versus grip in (fast) turns by adjusting spoilers
