Spot on.... this car is intended for Donnington tomorrow (Sunday) The positions invite massive over-steer and will do nothing more than doughnuts on every corner (off)... Polar center away.... totally detrimental to the stable positions the customer thought would offer... Oh dear! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats interesting as there was quite a few spin offs at Donny today by the boys in the 5's one even went off into the tyre wall (luckily he & passenger ok and just cosmetic damage to the car) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing i try to imprint to people setting their desired Geometry is not to overlap another persons set-up.. Sam@tdi would agree each car has different indexes so one successful set-up does not nessacerally work on another car even if the modifications are the same... For the MX5 track team i recommend a proven base then allowed the drivers feed back to develop a personal set-up, this is wise since you are in competition so customizing the chassis could only add an advantage.
