1.11 and PP3 Impressions

Ok, so basically you will get more downforce at the respective end if you decrease the height?
(Although you have to be careful of course with the car hitting the ground and with diffuser stall.)

Good to know, I always thought you have to take into account the combination of both front and rear.
(Well, you still have to, but in a less complicated way.)

 

You get more downforce decreasing the height until you hit the point where diffuser (or splitter) starts to stall. Diffuser stall will be quite obvious on corner exits (rear squats) and splitter stall on braking. Sometimes it's beneficial to run front so low that you sometimes stall on brakes but have more downforce during cornering (front is higher than on brakes). Also there's an optimal AOA for the elements involved as well, so where ever you end up with front heights will have to be taken account in rear heights. Use developer app called "wings" to see the effects in CL-values.

 

Well, thanks. I had a look at some of the devs apps some time ago and never really got much out of them. But I wanted to have a look at race studio anyway to finally get into using telemetry data, so I might as well do both.

With the setup mentioned above I could at least enjoy driving the GT3 R for the first time, so certainly things are improved.
If I find the motivation I will try to do some setup tests on Sunday to see if I can get closer to my target times around Nordschleife (8min for the VLN layout and 8:15min for the 24 layout).
