cars spinning

[saji1]

every time i press the gas hard on some of the rwd they spin out
anyone have any tips?

[axus]

Errr... Don't press it so hard :P

lol

Try selecting a higher gear if its a big problem.

other than that just be more careful with the throttle :)

you have to be gentle, esp. when the tyres are cold. Start in 2nd or third and learn a bit of throttle control.

im driving with mouse so i know that problem very good :D
heres what i do:
lower tyre pressure on the backwheels (not all the way down just a bit)
if u still have problems, then just drive always a gear higher as u usually do, means if u take the turn normally in 2 nd gear , take it in the third gear and ur back wont catch u. :)

Yea, don't step on the throttle, ease into it. start straightening the wheel as you ease into the throttle as well. You can dial out most oversteering/throttle spinning with the setup, but most of the faster guy's setups are loose in the rear end. That is faster. You have to learn to steer a bit with the throttle and a little less with the wheel.

also a lot of positive toe on rear wheels helps a lot, but it makes harder entering corners...i only suggest as a start and to help making a whole lap without spinning, after that decrease it a bit then try again and so on, it helped me with rwd to get the feeling

also use the clutch pad differential and put 40% or lower values on power and coast, but again this is only to get in touch with rwd...

To make RWDs easiest to drive use a low power side setting (under 25%) and a high coast side setting (over 60%).

im sure a lot of people will want to kill me for that suggestion but im absolutely sure it helps a lot with getting a feel for the rwds:

go to the carpark or the autocross area and practice drifting a bit ... it really helps with learning to keep the rear end stable

oh and dont look at the curbs or anything while going through a corner ... look into the distance

Agreed. I couldn't drive the XR GT Turbo to save my life. Then I went to the car park, did some drifting and learnt to control the car. As my driving improved, the rear slid out less and less on the track because I was learning to control the throttle and the steering, but I would have just given up had I not started by learning how to catch a slide on the car park first. The result? 1:24.81 on self made setup around Blackwood and now I can control some of the faster RWD cars.

I think that's a great idea :) LOL my daughter, when she plays, her favorite thing to do is try to park the car in the spaces with out double parking,
forwards and backwards..... oh well I guess she needs the practice for when she gets older and drives to the mall :)

but yeah, that really is a good idea.
