With the understeer, any second thoughts on trying out a 'square' tire setup? I'm dying to find out how the car would perform with that kind of setup. Maybe also a front splitter... was it high speed or low speed or both?
It was definitely mechanical, not aero related, but aero up front would help at higher speeds. As for a square tire setup, I still think the car likes a little stagger. If I had more practice time with the car I can guarantee you I could have gotten the understeer to go away but with only one lap at a time I only had a few opportunities to see if my adjustments helped. By the end of the weekend it was much better than where we started. I don't think it is a chronic problem or a big enough problem to change my equipment, just need to find the happy spot in the settings.
