Increasing the Camber Angle of the wheel can improve the car’s cornering by maximising the tyre’s contact patch through a turn. Most cars are not particularly sensitive to caster settings, so it’s best used in conjunction with other settings such as Camber Angles.Ĭamber Angle adjusts the angle of the wheel on the vertical axis, from a front-viewing angle, with negative Camber pointing the top of the wheel inward on the car. Using a lower, positive Caster Angle will reduce both steering effort and jacking of the chassis with steering angle, and make the car more responsive upon initial turn in. Using too much positive Caster Angle will increase steering effort, making the car feel heavier and less responsive. Positive Caster Angle will make the car more stable at high speeds and will increase camber gain with steering. Decreasing the ratio will give more responsive steering, decreasing the amount of input needed, and making the car more sensitive to steering input and more suitable for tighter and twister circuits.Ĭaster Angle adjusts the side-view angle of the steering axis, with a Positive Caster Angle pointing the axis rearward at the top. The Steering Ratio represents the number of degrees of steering wheel movement required for one degree of front wheel rotation, to turn the front wheels.Ī higher Steering Ratio increases the amount of steering wheel movement needed, allowing for finer steering control. I think you tell something about it in the introduction but it might be worth emphazising that.While the knowledge in the video and the write-up below is tailored towards application in Project CARS 2, the knowledge as such applies to all simulations so make sure to watch whether you use Project CARS 2 or not. Ex : at Le Mans you should optimize your aero plateform with the goal of reducing drag in mind so you should start with this step and optimize everything around it. The only think that I would like to mention is that even though the procedure is great, it might be worth to emphasize in the guide that prior to starting anything and follow the procedure by the book you should be aware of the characteristics of the track and the car and define some setup goals accordingly.
I think it is a great guide to beginners and a good reminder/cheat sheet for experienced drivers as well Thank you very very much for this guide! The content is great and everything is put together in a neat format I have used it to compare my technique to yours and it helped me put a little bit more discipline in my testing procedure and understanding which parameter has the biggest impact.
