Part of the reason for my lack of posts the past 4 weeks or so, is that the aspect of cars that interests me most has changed - currently, I am most interested in the actual dynamics of racing, other than how a car's stats (like powerbands, grip, etc) affect how good a car can potentially be on the track.
So, as an example question for many more to come, I am going to ask for help on the NSX I have been enjoying. Currently, I am trying to find the perfect combination of things possible in Forza Motorsport, for what was originally a J-type NSX (2004, is the year). I am not having any actual problems with it at the moment, but still would like help making it even better. It currently is naturally aspirated at 398horsepower and 301 ft-lbs of torque, weighing in at 2,586 pounds - 41% of which is at the front. It has such perfect understeer at the moment, and I have been using it very often for early apexes on turns. It goes through most turns like a dream! Except hairpins. In hairpins, the understeer really makes itself felt too much - is there a way I could keep the understeer I have, while opening up the ability for less understeer at slower speeds? I have been trying to play around with the springs, anti-roll bar and damping primarily, but it doesn't seem to help. ANy suggestions? Thanks!
Yes, I know Forza Motorsport is unrealistic, for several reasons, and that there probably IS a solution to this, but there is a good chance it is not something Forza lets you change. However, I found that I was coming up with ALOT of questions about racing, from the best angle to attack a turn, to the tuning of a car's suspension. I decided that a thread like this, where I asked these questions, would teach me alot. I do NOT care if the answer is something I cannot change in the game, or anything really. I just want to get to know this side of cars better There will be many more questions like the NSX one, sometimes about tuning a car set-up in the finest details, or if its changing a whole section of the car, or jsut how to best take something through a turn when I don't know what to make of how the traction, braking ability, and balance of the car work out in the end. Thanks to everyone who answers questions here! You guys rock!
