[Reno40]

Hi,

I've started helping a friend who races a FWD saloon, he bought the car mid-season and doesn't feel he's got to grips with it (we both come from a RWD background).

The car:-

800kg, 205 section slicks, front and rear anti roll bars, 600 lb springs front and rear, 2.5 deg front camber, 7 deg castor, parallel toe front and rear, front and rear shocks are a bit of an unknown (strut inserts at the front). Tyres 28F 24R.

The observation is that is generally not very responsive, turn-in being a little vague. Being light, the rears take a few laps to warm up so it oversteers on cold tyres but not so much when up to temperature. It sounds to me like it's a 'feel' thing.

Thoughts would be:

A few mm of toe out to help the turn in?
A little stiffer all round? (seems a little low on springs perhaps?)
Look into the dampers over the winter

Any thoughts please? Also, does anyone know the sort of set up touring cars run?

Thanks for reading!
