Thanks, I just put it out there to make people think.

Most people deal with the things you can measure - albeit static, such as castor, camber, toe etc.

That's a little insight to one of the dynamic effects that can't be measured quite so easily, yet it is critical in a race car but rarely entertained at club level with most people saying it can't be done within regs - I disagree!


Back to the original point, I'm not saying its right or wrong, but I am interested in opinions though, would you lower a ZS in the knowledge that you will make the car less safe (induce snap oversteer) if you ever had to take avoiding action?
I think the answer depends on how you think of the consequences.

Thanks for your input

btw. I believe the dynamics can be engineered within club level regs and we will be trialling this theory on a ZS race car which we hope to become the fastest (circuit lap) ZS with the exception of the original BTCC cars.
