Hey guys,

I'm wondering why most of the setups have a added mass of 55kg to the front? Is this to make the car more balanced or something? Cause with added mass I can drive faster then without wich is a bit strange I think

Wow long no see man, Will have to try and catch you on msn one day

As for the mass; I know in the fzr for example where extra mass is forced but you chance the position I always had it to the front and it made me quicker. The only reason I could think of for that though was the weight at the front balanced the car to a more even weight distribution. Though why people would add mass to any of the cars that don't have it as manditory I don't know.

We really should

Hmm, yes I was talking about the fzr. So in a fzr you always have forced weight with you? hmm interesting so your saying how heavier the front of the car is the more stable it is? But at a certain point it would slow you down because of the weight offcourse.

hmm, I think I get it

You dont have to take kgs in hotlap with you, or do you?
If thats the case, i dont think thats fair.

the added mass to the front of the car would give your front tyres more grip so you can take corners a bit quicker and hit the apexes easier.

more weight at the front? give me a bigger engine plz .

Seriously though, wouldnt weight at the front cause the back to swing out more?

Depends, it would be car specific. A rear engined car would have a lot of weight at the back anyway.

"Most of the sets"?

Never made a set that requires any added mass whatsoever. Although yes, in the FZR it may be beneficial, normally it would just slow you down (especially in the smaller cars)
