Blueprint For A Podium

Suspension: Springs

Effects of soft

Springs toughest

softer springs

Cars more responsive

Greater readiness to change direction

Recommended for smooth surfaces and with so much grip

Increased turning radius, and then roll reduction of the weight transfer

Improved behavior on corrugated surfaces with little adhesion.

slower response to commands (increase pitch and roll).

Adjusting front springs

front springs harder

front springs softer

more responsive Cars but less and less front-wheel steering

Increased turning radius

move towards greater output trajectory

Recommended on circuits with high levels of grip, or with many sudden changes of direction

Improved cornering grip, especially in the central and outgoing

too soft springs can lead to oversteer (loss of rear end and front "tip")

Adjusting rear springs

harder rear springs

softer rear springs

less rear traction

Increased steering in the middle and out of curves

Recommended circuits with fast and long corners

Improved traction during cornering, acceleration and rough stretches in

Shocks more inclined

shock of a vertical

Makes progressive response of spring and suspension

Cars in sliding

makes the linear response of spring and suspension

Greater lateral

rear shock more inclined than front

Front shocks more inclined than rear

sweet and steer better in the central part of the curves

too inclined rear shock can lead to a nervous and unpredictable rear cornering

Auto more aggressive in entering the curve, but increase the turning radius

increase adhesion at the rear, which can lead to understeer
