There are a few principles that can make life much easier. Each of them is interconnected with the others and changing one has an impact on the others.Īt this point many people give up and go for the Jeremy Clarkson approach of “POWER!” Don’t despair. You’re trying to balance driving technique, damper rates, spring rates, camber angles, caster angles, toe angles, Ackerman (or anti-Ackerman) angles, anti-roll bar rates, brake balance, roll-centre position and height, king-pin inclination, tyre pressures and innumerable other variables to find a handling package that works. The really annoying bit of it is the amount of variables in play make it very difficult, if not impossible to define exactly what is the solution to any particular handling problem. Car setup is part science, part art, part luck. It means getting the car to 'feel' right for the driver and making it behave properly around the corners. 'Set-up' means adjusting all the variables on the car to make it go around the track as fast as it can.
