Hello all

I am complete newbie to onroad sedans. I have been reading this forum a lot trying to soak up some information. I am hoping someone can help me with this so I can better understand setup. If a car is setup for a high bite smooth track like Revelations, etc. and you then need to alter setup for a parking lot type track what generally needs to be done? Higher rideheight? softer springs?, lesser shore foam tire?, etc.? Generally speaking of course? oops sorry this is in wrong forum, not sure how to move it

I play at Revelation, too.

What kind of car are you using?

In general, it all depends on the traction, how bumpy it is and how "fast" the track is. If your parking lot track is bumpy, you'll want to raise the ride height. If traction is low, you'll want to get the right tires 1st off. Is traction is still an issue, then you start working with the suspension...softening it up to help the car roll. Getting your car tuned to a track is basically about managing the way the weight of your car shifts around. One more thing to consider is your driving style. You may find that you can drive the hard setup even on your parking lot track. I've seen some people like that. They dive hard into turns, mash the brakes, get the backend around the turn and drop the hammer once it's lined up. I can drive like that but I noticed it's not the fastest way for me. It can be fast but a well tuned car that takes nice flowing lines will be faster.

Oh, if you can...get the Chassis Tuning Guide that they sell on the XXXMain site. It's got tons of great info. Good luck.
