Hi!

I am entering a private class D championship, and am using a 2003 Leon Cupra R, at the mo it's caged, race ARBs, stage 2 brakes and suspension, stage 1 Tyres, stage 3 weight reduction, stage 3 diff and adjustable front bumper...

I am still struggling to get the nose in on low speed corners, medium and high is fine, I have wound on more front downforce and adjusted the diff, which has helped, any more suggestions using what I have fitted?

A touch of toe in on the front wheels?

My supercharged MK2 GTI is spot on, still FWD, but it's class C, and I don't want to pull it apart for this "winner takes all" championship.

Will look at some options for you tonight Sir.

We ahve a very tasty twingo set-up on my storefront. Currently 33rd in the world round Rally di Positano, with some more decent time elsewhere. A snip at 40k wink

I have a stack on decent D class tunes, also the Slowpoke Fiesta available with exclusive PH paint.

Surely you'd want toe-out on the front wheels, and toe in on the rear wheels.

fiddling the brake balance could help, if you move the brake balance more towards the back of the car, you might be able to get sharper turn in by braking and turning. Not a very good solution, but if its all you've got to work with.

Also, make the front ARBs stiffer than the front, that should help a bit too.

It's not in yet, but it will be tonight hopefully if I get a chance.

I'll bung it in as D CLass, Laguna Seca.
