    Sorry but I have to comment negatively. But firstly, you put real effort into this video and that is appreciated. Secondly, you're not the only one who gets basic load transfer physics wrong! 🙂 This means lots of videos about this topic are spreading bad info. Driver61 for example as well! And people love the videos and think they've learned something when in fact they just got told 1+1=3. I can also be wrong, but this is very basic physics so I feel confident my bullet points below are "effectively" 99% accurate and true.
    1) Changing ride heights, springs, bump rubbers, does NOT change the static ground loads (Driver61 thinks so). A 1000kg car with 50/50 front/rear weight will have 250kg on each corner, even if you add 25mm rear ride height.
    2) Changing ride heights, springs, bump rubbers, does NOT (maybe 0.1%) change load transfer. If you do 0..100kmh in 3 seconds, the front and rear tire loads will be the same regardless of these setup parameters. Take a turn at 1.5G and the total load transfer is identical with any combination of these parameters.
    3) Total load transfer is always the same at a certain G force, but when cornering, you can tweak how much of this transfer is taken by the front, and how much by the rear tires. The stiffer side of the car, stiffer springs, bump rubbers and/or anti roll bars, will take more of the load transfer than the softer side. The stiffer side almost always should have less grip than the softer side, because of tire load sensitivity.
    4)Stiffer springs and bump rubbers reduce suspension travel for a given cornering, braking or acceleration G force. Reduced suspension travel means the ride heights of the car change less as you are driving around.
    5) When speed goes x2, downforce goes x4 (!) so when talking about aero, high speeds are way more impacted than low speed
    6) Downforce is often very sensitive to ride heights. Typically a lower car has more downforce. Typically, adding a little bit of rear ride height, or lowering the front, will move the aero balance forward.
    7) A softer car, having ride heights moving more, will have its downforce levels and the balance of this downforce, change more during a lap. This isn't good or bad, it depends on many things, but is the reason in general, racing cars with downforce are stiff, especially at the front, as being 5mm too high will simply cost you high speed grip.

      With a physical disability, driving the vehicle, with my right side (arm and leg) - myself and my coach have to adapt the mechanical settings, for the McLaren 720S GT3 EVO, because when the settings are softer than a middle of the ground setup, it adds more time to apply throttle; meanwhile my right leg/knee area has to wait for the car to settle long enough out of the apex. This adds a gravitational pressure to my knee, as if the foot was hanging in the air to apply pressure to the acceleration pedal.So to mitigate this we try and find a system that lowers the hanging time of both what I do with my right side So my question is, does having something that suits the driver more or less important than having an ultra soft settings?

    • @matija.jurisic
      @matija.jurisic 4 месяца назад +3

      @NielsHeusinkveld regarding the first point, in our experience changing the ride height on one of the axles will affect the static front-rear weight distribution. On our TCR car lowering the rear ride height by around 1 cm led to a 0.1% change in the weight distribution.
      The affect on the loads is extremely small, but it is possible to change the weight distibution with ride height, only the change has to be drastic.
      This type of change is probably only applicable on low downforce cars where the ride heights won't affect the aero.
      Everything else you said makes perfect sense and I think it's 100% correct.

    Finally someone aknowledging it's not only about over/understeer.
    The thing i struggle most with in ACC is controlling the weight transfer. My driving style relies quite heavily on weight transfer, and even body roll, but no matter what i do the cars don't seem to behave.
    More often than not, i end up with the same problem. Not being able to transfer enough weight to the front to get good and responsive turn-in.
    Even if all of the information here isn't 100% accurate, there's definitely a couple takeaways i wouldn't had even thought about. Curious to see if i could get rid of my issues now

    hi Arnout !
    I'm not sure if you ever talked about camber and how it can save your tires in racing. How to use it to balance heat and degradation along your race. Not here to give lesson to anyone, just something i just found out : when you check your tire temp after a few lap in practice or qualifying, IMO gives you 3 numbers. When first and last have less or equal 10 degrees delta, tire wear is greatly reduced and grip is optimal during at least a 45 min race. If you put max camber whitout adjusting, after 25 min or so, your tires begin to wear greatly and car begins to slide a lot, forcing you to adjust brake bias and so loosing time in corners. Hope it helps, and maybe you can make a video about it. Cheers !

    • @SimracingArnout

      This is definitely a very important consept do discover and to make some information about it, im going to have to test this out a lot to say something meaningful and true about it. Thanx for your comment. What kind of wear readings you get when the laptimes are hurting?

    • @lapougne701
      @lapougne701 4 месяца назад

      @@SimracingArnout When my camber is properly set, meaning my I M O temp are equal or less than 10°c delta, my tire wearing is the exact same on I M O.
      When i put max camber whithout any further setting, i lost 0.1 on each tire part.
      IE after a quali it gives : 2.9 2.8 2.7, with IMO temp 90 80 70. Something like that.
      My trick is to reduce camber by 0.5 every 5 to 10 degree I to O delta, depending on the car camber capability.
      In the end, on the same session i have : 2.8 2.8 28, with tire temps 90 88 86 or sometime 90 90 90.
      I don't have a temp color difference anymore on the tire image in the HUD (the color of the outsides of tires changing along the race), and my grip stays the same from begining to end of race.
      Last night on LFM on the nurburing, my grip was perfect from start to end.
      I remember with max camber on the same track, the last 5-10 min were like Holiday on ice, forcing me to change my brake bias a lot to avoid crazy oversteering or understeering.
      I hope my explanations make sense to you, for me it changed how i make my setup drastically.

      @@SimracingArnout For start, i started simracing in january, so my times are not the best you can find, on the nurb with the 296 (And i almost never practiced this track), i manage a 1.58 on a regular basis. Not great, but not that bad. And no track limit anymore on any track, car goes always where i want it to go. On the N24 i go 8min20 with the mustang for ex.
      For the caster setting, i don't put max anymore, car is more stable for sure with max settings, but i feel that it lowers your cornering capacity. Car is more stiff or "rigid" if that makes sense, so i set it usually between half and 2/3 of the setting.
      Toe helps for cornering entry also, but wears tire and unnecessary overheat them. 0.15 on front and 0.0 on back tires is a meta for me for every car (race settings). For a quali you can go more (even max) but it is not sustainable for a long run in my opinion.

      Down to 1.56 min on regular basis after a few LFM run (25 min race) with those settings : front tire camber at 3.0, back tires at 2.0, less than 10°c between I and O temps.
      Racing with the 296, i'm only adjusting brake bias (starting at 63% then +1% after 15 min, and +1% after 20 min) during race to compensate the weight distribution changing because of less and less fuel, the grip and temps are optimal from start to finish. Fwiw, my best laps are usually after 50% of the race. Cheers !

    My doubt is, the weight will always "try" to move, that's momentum of the cars chassis. So for example if I brake, the weight will move forwards, what changes with a hard vs soft setup on the front would be the amount of suspension travel but the weight will always be there, the pressure on the wheels, isn't it? I was under the impression we used bumpstop ranges to control car behaviour when the forces are applied on the 4 wheels of the car, when the suspension hits the limit, not necessarily to change the amount of force applied on the each wheel. I might be completely wrong, I learn new stuff about setups almost every week. Also my knowledge isn't from ACC only, but other sims as well, so things could be different.

      I see what you mean about the weight being there still, but with travel in the suspension the center of gravity changes and the weight will be multiplied, if this was not the case then a high front end and lower rear would not cause understeering on corner entry. An exaggerated example of this would be when a motor cycle has lower front end than the rear and softer suspension, it easier to do a rolling front wheel stand (or what ever it’s called when front brake is applied and the rear tire come off the ground) it’s way more complicated than all this of course, like some times having the front higher on a car than the rear while having severely soft front suspension, soft dampening and slow rebound the front end can basically become a dynamic ride height adjustment by way of super high front brake bias. It’s a weird thing to drive but on the right track and car it’s fun.
