Increase Speed
Handling Feels Good but Car is Slow
Corner Entry
The car might be bottoming out in the front. Ensure the front splitter is sealed properly without scraping the track in the corners.
- Stiffen the front springs.
- Raise the front ride heights using the left arrow beside front shock collar offsets.
- Lower the rear ride heights using the right arrow beside rear shock collar offsets. Lowering the rear will raise the front.
Center
- The car might be bottoming out in the front. Stiffen the front springs.
- Optimize ride heights.
- Optimize right front camber. Look for the left side of the right front tire to be roughly 10° fahrenheit hotter than the middle of the tire after a short run.
Early Corner Exit
- Decrease rear spring split to stabilize handling.
Late Corner Exit
- Stiffen springs if soft in order to stabilize ride heights.
Short Run Speed
- Decrease right front camber
Make camber more negative using the left arrow. - Increase caster
- Experiment with higher and lower tire pressures
- Make sure the car isn’t bottoming out.
Long Run Speed
- Increase right front camber
Make camber less negative using the right arrow. - Experiment with higher and lower tire pressures
- Stiffen all springs to stabilize ride heights.
- Reduce nose weight to put more weight on rear tires.
More Speed Tips
- Adjust rear ride heights to strike the ideal balance between downforce and drag.
- The front splitter should stay sealed to the track without scraping in the corners.
- Maximize camber on all tires except the right front. For the right front, adjust camber for optimal long-run performance. Use inner, middle, and outer right front tire temperatures as a guide. Typically, more negative right front camber is ideal for qualifying or short runs.
- Begin by setting the right-side tire pressures to the minimum. For the left-side tires, adjust the pressures to approximately 60% to 70% of the right-side pressures.
- Reduce chassis movement to enhance aerodynamics by using stiffer springs.
- Take advantage of every small speed boost you can find—they all add up in the end.
- After making any adjustments, double-check that your ride heights are set exactly where you want them.
- Some settings will be right on the edge of garage tolerances. Any adjustment could push the setup out of tolerance and cause it to fail tech inspection, so you’ll need to correct that.
Serious sim racers want feedback they can trust, not some limp toy wheel pretending to be a steering column. The Logitech G923 Racing Wheel and Pedals delivers the real deal with TRUEFORCE force feedback, responsive pedals, and a hand-stitched leather wheel. Built for Xbox and PC, it brings sharper control and real driving feel to your rig so you can push harder every lap. If you want your sim racing to feel like the real thing, this wheel is ready to go to work.List Price:
Improve Handling
Oversteer (Loose)
Oversteer (Loose) on Entry
- Increase nose weight
- Increase crossweight
You can increase crossweight by pressing the right arrow next to the ARB preload in the front or the left arrow next to the ARB preload in the rear. Aim to keep your front preload negative. For details on the shock collar offset method, refer to the bottom of the page.
Oversteer (Loose) in Center
- Increase crossweight
You can increase crossweight by pressing the right arrow next to the ARB preload in the front or the left arrow next to the ARB preload in the rear. Aim to keep your front preload negative. For details on the shock collar offset method, refer to the bottom of the page. - If loose on throttle, stiffen left rear spring and soften right rear spring
- If loose off throttle, soften left rear spring and stiffen right rear spring, increase crossweight
Oversteer (Loose) on Early Exit
- Stiffen left rear spring and soften right rear spring
Oversteer (Loose) on Late Exit
- Stiffen left rear spring and soften right rear spring on high banks.
- For low banks or tracks where the banking decreases on corner exit, stiffen right rear spring and increase crossweight.
Oversteer (Loose) in the Short Run
- Increase left rear PSI
- Increase right front camber
Make right front camber less negative using the right arrow.
Oversteer (Loose) in the Long Run
- Stiffen left rear spring
- Use less throttle in turns
- Decrease right front camber.
Make right front camber more negative using the left arrow.
Understeer (Tight)
Understeer (Tight) on Entry
- Decrease nose weight
- Decrease crossweight
You can decrease crossweight by pressing the left arrow next to the ARB preload in the front or the right arrow next to the ARB preload in the rear. Aim to keep your front preload negative. For details on the shock collar offset method, refer to the bottom of the page.
Understeer (Tight) in Center
- Decrease crossweight
You can decrease crossweight by pressing the left arrow next to the ARB preload in the front or the right arrow next to the ARB preload in the rear. Aim to keep your preload negative. For details on the shock collar offset method, refer to the bottom of the page. - If tight on throttle, soften left rear spring and stiffen right rear spring.
- If tight off throttle, stiffen left rear spring and soften right rear spring, decrease crossweight.
Understeer (Tight) on Early Exit
- Soften left rear spring and stiffen right rear spring
Understeer (Tight) on Late Exit
- Soften left rear spring and stiffen right rear spring on high banks.
- For low banks or tracks where the banking decreases on corner exit, soften the right rear spring and lower the crossweight.
Understeer (Tight) on Short Runs
- Decrease the left rear tire pressure.
- Decrease right front camber.
Make right front camber more negative using the left arrow.
Understeer (Tight) on Long Runs
- Soften the left rear spring.
- Increase right front camber
Make right front camber less negative using the right arrow.
Crossweight Adjustment Using Shock Collar Offsets
Decrease crossweight by clicking the arrows indicated in the image below. Use the same number of clicks on each arrow in order to preserve ride heights.
Increase crossweight by clicking the arrows indicated in the image below. Use the same number of clicks on each arrow in order to preserve ride heights.
Ride Height Adjustments
When adjusting ride heights, aim to maintain the same crossweight. To check ride heights in a replay, select the best camera angle. You can move the camera with Ctrl+F12 or press Ctrl+Z to freely adjust it using your mouse. Alternatively, you can use telemetry software to monitor your ride heights.
Bottoming Out in the Front
- Stiffen the front springs.
- Raise the front ride heights using the left arrow beside front shock collar offsets.
- Lower the rear ride heights using the right arrow beside rear shock collar offsets. Lowering the rear will raise the front.
Bottoming Out in the Rear
- Raise the rear ride heights using the left arrow beside rear shock collar offsets.
- Stiffen the rear springs.
Car is Too High in the Front
- Lower the front ride heights using the right arrow beside front shock collar offsets.
- Raise the rear ride heights using the left arrow beside rear shock collar offsets. Raising the rear will lower the front.
- Soften the front springs.
Left Side is Higher
- Lower the left-side ride heights using the right arrow beside left shock collar offsets.
- Soften left-side and/or stiffen right-side springs.
Right Side is Higher
- Lower the right-side ride heights using the right arrow beside right shock collar offsets.
- Stiffen left-side and/or soften right-side springs.
