Hi Coach 2,
Your post & the things you agree with, that OldF wrote, makes sense to me. Although I'd like to stay cautious about how to explain: weight transfer, shift, and how it relates to grip because I don't have an engineer's knowledge on how the physics work. My area of expertise is rather hands on. But anyway, it sounds right to me!
Agree, in a team, we leaves this to the engineer's.

Don’t worry Coach 2. Imo your answer wasn’t tough.

Awesome post!
I am pretty interested in geometry as well if you ever feel like getting carried way more on that subject. People here have been know to claim it doesn't matter much on a gravel car, stick everything at "0" (toe and camber, front and rear) and run it.2009 Colorado Rally Cup Champion & 2009 CHCA Rookie Of the Year

I would be very interested in anything you could tell us about the different types of geometry setup you used, I do mainly tarmac rallying so would be interested to hear more about what WRC teams do.
Thanks again for taking the time to share with us!

Happy you liked it guys! I've noted the requests and will try to sort something on near future!
In the meantime I am preparing something really cool aimed at rally fans and I am racing against time to launch it before christmas.

I was not able to comment in Your blog, so I will do it here, and at the same time say that everyone that hasnt should read Mr Warmbolds blog!
Interesting read: In the classic case of understeer on entry, and oversteer on exit, 9 times out of 10 it is the driver him self that is creating his own difficulties. This is by going too fast and too tight on the entry. The inside corner is sharper than the outside one, and too fast is always too fast. This will create understeer. The oversteer comes from the inputs the driver does to correct the understeer. Slowing down the front, making a big weight transfer towards the front, while wanting the front of the car to change direction. As soon as the front starts changing direction, the rear will continue in the same direction, because of the lack of grip created by the exessive speed/weight transfer, and this will result in oversteer.
The remedy would be to be earlier on the brakes, turn in later with a wider line, and be earlier on the throttle, so you get on the throttle side on the diff. This You should do before You start adjusting things on Your car, because You should adjust it after when You are doing it right, not compensating for problems You make Your self
Thanks for the blog, a very good read!https://www.facebook.com/noseendfirst?ref=hl#
