I don't remember the specific schematic, but there is more weight transfer with a narrower car. A narrower car will generate much more mid corner traction. Can you clarify what is at play here?
(Car weight x CG height)/Track width
Using the example from Martin Crisp's setup app....
(1500g x 20mm)/185 = 162g weight transfer
So lowering the CG and/or increasing track width reduces lateral weight transfer, which increases lateral grip in *most* conditions...... yes?
