First time on r comps.
The front end is chattering in the corner, get on the gas and it fixes it cant carry any entry speed because of it. Tires are BFG R1's, pressures to start are 30F 26 R, end of session 34F 33R. I took the rear spring rubbers out and lowered the rear. The ass end was all over the place, this helped a bunch and dropped 3 seconds off the lap time. Go up or down on pressure or what? You enter the corner, the car starts to push and the tires chatter, skip, gas pedal pedal helps it. All input welcome. My new best is 2:02 at NOLA. |

My car does this in Autocross on low speed tight corners. I am also curious about this issue. It feels like the front end is hopping in my car.

Usually that's due to castor "picking up" the contact patch and the trick (as unnatural as it feels to do it) is to straighten the wheel some until the car turns as it should. |
