NOTE: The best thing that will improve your driving is experience or seat time. With that said here are a few things that seem to help me out. If my Vette is loose or the back end is sliding all over the place, I can reduce the air pressure in the rear and maybe add a touch more in the front. If your Vette is pushing or it doesn't turn when you turn the wheel, reduce the pressure in the fronts and increase a little in the rear. After a few runs, look at your tires. If the tires look like they are wearing on the side wall, increase the air pressure. I'm just a beginner, but these techniques seem to help my style of driving. I like to decelerate before the turns and enter the turns after I've slowed. This puts the CG more towards the center of the Vette which is good for turning. Again, the first time out, don't worry about tire pressure changes. Just keep them normal. One more tip, leave your ego at the gate. You will be beatened by all sorts of cars. Just have fun driving. |
