Effects of Front Roll Center Adjustment
Front roll center has most effect on on-throttle steering during mid-corner and corner exit.
LOWER front roll center
* More on-throttle steering
* Car is less responsive
* Better on smooth, high grip tracks with long fast corners
HIGHER front roll center
* Less on-throttle steering
* Car is more responsive
* Use in high grip conditions to avoid traction rolling
* Use on tracks with quick direction changes (chicanes)
Effects of Rear Roll Center Adjustment
Rear roll center affects on- and off-throttle situations in all cornering stages (entry, mid, exit)
LOWER rear roll center
* More on-throttle grip
* Less grip under braking
* Use to avoid traction rolling at corner entry (increases rear grip)
* Use under low traction conditions
* Increases traction, reduces rear tire wear
HIGHER rear roll center
* Less on-throttle steering
* Car is more responsive
* Use in high grip conditions to avoid traction rolling
* Use on tracks with quick direction changes (chicanes) |
