iRacing Dirt Sprint Car Setup Matrix

Rev. 2 – March 7, 2018

Symptom	Remedies
Loose on Entry	Decrease right rear tire pressure  Decrease cross weight (will loosen some on exit) Decrease right rear torsion bar diameter* Increase left front and left rear torsion bar diameters* Increase tube heights front and rear Increase left side tube heights front and rear Decrease right rear bump stiffness Decrease left rear rebound stiffness Increase left rear wheel spacing Decrease right rear wheel spacing Change your line Next Level Racing Wheel Stand 2.0 Master your laps without dominating the room. The Next Level Racing Wheel Stand 2.0 stands rock-solid for direct-drive wheels, yet folds away in seconds when real life calls. Full adjustability for wheel, pedals, and shifter lets a man settle into his proper position the honest way. A clever chair cradle keeps your seat planted under hard braking, while predrilled mounts welcome Thrustmaster, Fanatec, Logitech, and the rest. Upgrade later to a full cockpit with the GTSeat add-on. Serious performance, sensible footprint—no compromises required. Buy on Amazon Affiliate link • Ships fast from Amazon

Tight Throughout Turn	Increase right rear tire pressure Increase rear stagger  Increase top wing position (move forward) Decrease left front torsion bar diameter* Increase right front and right rear bump stiffnesses Decrease left rear wheel spacing Increase right rear wheel spacing

* When making changes to torsion bars or any changes to the chassis that also changes the tube heights, use the torsion bar stops to return the tube heights to their original values.

Bold face remedies are the go-to fixes for each symptom. On the iRacing Sprint Cars, you should be able to stick to those and make any adjustments you need without going any further.

If you see any errors or have any questions, I can usually be found in Discord.
