Set up changes for Wet Weather
Posted: Fri Jan 24, 2014 7:51 am
After the recent wet weather session at QR I was thinking (afterwards) what changes I should have done before I went out in the wet. Thanks to a PM from MattR my logic of increasing the tyre pressure to either hot or just under hot would have been smart. I used dry setting of 26 cold knowing that it will get to 30 hot, on the night the tyres did not get over 29.
However things I did not consider were disconnecting the front sway as this would have reduced the tendency to oversteer and possibly disconnecting the rear (thanks MattR).
What do other people do when they get to the track and find it is wet? Apart from enjoy learning how to be gentle, smooth and controling over/under steer. I'm more dissappointed in myself for not making changes than the lap times of the night.
