Re: Chassis Setup for GT40s

Interesting that you should bring this up. I’ve just spent the last Sunday afternoon playing with various settings with the intention of getting a broad feel for cause and effect in preparation for tweaking on the track. Admittedly, there is only so much information that you can glean from spirited drives though winding roads, but almost as important as grip I believe is feel and communication. For what its worth, here are my unscientific and very limited conclusions.

I surprisingly found that the simple act of stiffening the rear end really did improve the feel and significantly raised confidence levels, however stiffening the front end did not have the corresponding effect on feel that I would have thought. Front end castor could be adjusted to also improve feel and also (for whatever reason) reduce skip through bumpy corners. I did not give enough camber adjustment to draw any conclusions, and toe did not get a look in at all.
