I bolded, italicized, and underlined this so that people people aren't severely changing the balance of their car chasing the rear-end around to get it to either hook-up or step out.
The window of being "hooked-up" to "spinning-out" is sometimes only 1/4 of a turn-at most!
This really is one of the least talked about "secret" when tuning F1 cars. You really can't set the diff on the bench. You have to go out there and run your car on the track *just* so the diff is on the verge of slipping coming out of the tightest turn of the track. I've gone around and "fixed" oversteering F1 cars last weekend by loosening their diffs 1/16th of a turn and sending them back out on the track.
You want more on-power steering? Tighten the diff.
