- htxt000: Shorter, tighter tracks require more acceleration and
- better fuel economy. High speed tracks require greater
- horsepower.
- 0
-
- htxt001: Gears should be selected so that the maximum amount of
- acceleration is achieved when exiting corners. Top gear
- should be set for fuel efficiency.
- 0
-
- htxt002: For a high speed oval use a compound that has good
- stopping power but high wear rates. On a twisty road
- coarse select a set with long wear times and resistance
- to fading.
- If you experience oversteer while braking, add front bias.
- 0
-
- htxt003: Stiffening the front springs will add understeer.
- Stiffening the rear springs will add oversteer.
- Stiffening front dampers increases understeer in bumpy turns.
- Stiffening rear dampers increases oversteer in bumpy turns.
- Stiffening front anti-roll bar adds understeer.
- Stiffening rear anti-roll bar adds oversteer.

-
- htxt004: Adjust the tank size so that the minimum amount of fuel is
- used to fill the tank at each stop.
- 0
-
- htxt005: Decrease Steer Ratio to make wheels turn faster.
- Increase Steer Lock to increases the amount of steering
- available.
- Increasing Steer Scale reduced steering the faster you go.
- 0
-
- htxt006: Increase front wing increased oversteer.
- Increase rear wing to add understeer.
- 0
-
- htxt007: Tire pressure is used to make minor adjustments to tire
- temperature and to add small amounts of understeer or
- oversteer.
- Camber affects a tire's cornering force and should be set
- to achieve the highest forces.
- Toe affects the steer characteristics of the car and are
- typically set near zero.
- 0
-
- htxt008: By analyzing the telemetry data it is possible to determine
- what forces are acting on the car, what the driver was doing
- at the time, and how the car responded.
- 0
-
- htxt009: The High Speed Oval is used for testing aerodynamic effects,
- engines, and handling at high speeds.
- The Skid Pad is used for testing steady state cornering and
- tire grip.
- The Braking track is used for testing both 1/4 mile speed
- and braking distance.
- The Handling track allows you to test transient handling
- properties.
- 0
-
- htxt010: You will typically want a different setup for each track
- and each car.
- 0
-
- htxt011: The Paint Shop is used to customize the look of a car.
