The HACK
man thats a great tip....i want to go out again just to test that lol....i always wondered why race cars would take smaller radius because i used to feel so hard to hit the apex if I stayed in the middle of the track...i was going wide, cruising a little and then aim for apex.....i will try that next time...im pretty sure its faster doing your way. stay in middle full throttle, brake hard turn and shoot for apex....thanks for that!

I don't know how to describe it. You'll know when you've timed it right. It's spooky because that momentary brush of the brakes will allow your car to dive right back into the apex of 9 just when you thought the car is going to push wide. IF you can left foot brake, you'll catch a ton of people here because you can stay in throttle and never lose speed. Plus if you ever go wheel to wheel here, it is pretty much the only way through turn 9 that allows you to defend your position against a faster car. p.s.: You don't want to be full throttle there, because you WILL still run out of room at the exit. But you won't have to coast or cruise as long, since you can accelerate all the way to your turn-in point (the dark patch on the track) and then stay mid throttle from your turn-in to about 6 ft before the apex and continue to feed in more throttle through the entry of the turn.

Alex, your turn by turn analysis is spot on and gave me new insights. You figured things out in a day that I’ve been working on for, ahem, longer than that. Mad skilz!
Hack, looking forward to trying your tips through T9. Thanks! |

A while back you had a thread running regarding front wheel lift on a turn. Did you ever resolve the issue? You had found your front bar was a stiffest setting, but never reported back your findings.

I had front sway bar in medium I believe and no rear bar. That causes the rear to lean too much compared to the front resulting in a lift on front tires I was searching for more rear grip, but sacrifices a lot front grip

What a fantastic thread with loads good points and advice regards setup . Here in UK it's not a very popular track car and ive been struggling a little bit to find the sweet spot with mine. There is a company that tunes them , but as you'd imagine they don't share too much info for non customers . Keep on the good work Alex have read all of this with a huge interest

Thanks Alex, lots of good little info in this thread mate. I also look forwards to more of that documentary that you guys are making.
Top stuff!!! I also noticed that with my rear bar loose, the rear bites harder. Ive added a new rear bar, first session was nearly a second faster than my old PB at my local. Lol its either that or the corner balancing I had done at the same time.. lol..
