FWD touring cars and understeer
Hello,
Just a general question really. How do FWD cars limit or reduce power understeer? I am speaking both with current TCR / NGTC regulations and things like S2000 or SuperTouring? I know with SuperTouring that they had some pretty elaborate diffs, Rob Huff said that when driving the 1998 Nissan he said that being on the power actually helped steer/pull the car through the corners. Can anyone offer an opinion or elaborate on that? From my own research, I have read that front drive tourers (supertourers) have approximately a 67% front aero bias which undoubtedly helps, this came from an article on the 1998 Alfa 156. I know also that *some* cars had stiffer rear springs and had virtually zero rear squat (anti squat). Thanks. Last edited by Sodemo; 12 Mar 2020 at 10:09. |
