Guys
Seeing as a lot of you have more experience of racing on the black stuff than me I thought I'd call on you guys for some expert advice. I'm used to racing on this: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i31.photobucket.com-3285-1277582607.1.jpg) but in August I'm going to be doing a tarmac rally, specifically the Ulster Rally. See below Youtube clips to give you an idea of what the surface/terrain is like: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xGxYhJGpnKI http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PFcpX81ytcE...feature=related completely different to what I'm used to. I know what setup works best for the loose but haven't got time to test a load of different setups so need to fast-track by leaning on you guys to give me a setup which should get me close to start with. Ignoring the height, what toe in front and rear, camber and caster would you reccomend for this type of surface/terrain. I've got 180 springs on the back, standard front bars, weltmeister anti-roll bar on the front. Running 180/70 dunlops all round. Thanks in advance for your advice. |

Moggy,
The toe in is 1 mm each side as in each wheel points inwards by 1 mm. The camber is 2 deg negative, although unless you have bent the leg or widened the wishbone you may not get that much, in which case run the most you can. You can probably lower the car a fair bit as well which will help. I corner weight mine also, but that is a bit anal. We do have tighter stages eg Basket Range, big trees, big cliffs, no fuching guard rails and a bit wet. No need for any chicanes to keep the speed down on this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I4-4aVKRw-k Cheers, |
