Autotesting a BEC
Hi Guys,
Tomorrow is the first event of the season in the local autotest championship. I prepped the car ready for it and then tested it out.
On tight corners it really understeers under braking, I am thinking I need to increase the front damping and maybe raise the rear by a few mm to try
and get some front end grip.
Currently running 14psi all round.

other way mate,
decrease front damping will improve front end grip thus reducing understeer
increase rear damping though, that should help to kick the back end out when needed
bit more negative camber on the front wheels too might help
(edit to put a bit more in)

And you run and you run to catch up with the sun but its sinking, Racing around to come up behind you again, the sun is the same in a relative way but
your older, shorter of breath and one day closer to death

Unless you have a reverse box, getting out and pushing may hamper your efforts.

No reverse needed in our 'tests, we run quite a few bike engined cars so reversing is not put into the courses.

All the best 'tests are no reverse, saves the box no end...

Cheers guys,
To adjust the Proshocks damping do you turn the dial anti clockwise to reduce or gain damping?

Anti clockwise makes softer IIRC.
Have fun at the autotest (isn't it an autosolo when no reverse?)
This is the result of my first autotest on my blade - don't let that put you off though
