I just watched this again… looks like there is entry oversteer in many places…actually maybe after every input, but not necessarily loose steady state. You might consider playing with rear rebound which may allow your steering inputs to be more committal and less need for counter steers. Fantastic car control btw.
Good observation, and thanks for the compliment. This is Daniel's car, and he generally has smoother inputs than I do. This works well with a car that is sensitive to yaw. Additionally, we were testing Bridgestones as opposed to the usual Kuhmo tires the car had been tuned on, and while there was a little more grip, the rear breakaway was more sudden than before. We considered messing with the dampers during the event, but ultimately agreed to leave the car as is. I can't help but think of the run that could've been if I didn't lose so much time sliding around at the northwest end of the stadium. Would you consider increasing rear rebound damping to reduce pitch at initial turn in, or decrease it to aid rear tire contact with the ground?
@WTGRacing - likely softening. I would test the current settings for 2 runs (4 with codriver), then soften for run 3. This way you get everything warm and steady state. If you have good dampers, it will be apparent if the change is helpful. If you’re under damped, you could need to stiffen, but it appears that softening will help.
Great driving as always! Nice job!
Awesome run!!

I would suggest the smallest increment that you will actually feel.
@@ckrampertracing thanks for the input.
