Quick FOX setup question
I just downloaded the WR BLGP FOX setup, instead of making my own, as I usually do, because I seriously CBA to learn to setup decently, even though sooner or later I will need to, out of need. Now, this method usually works fairly well; for non-sprint races it's a matter of ajudsting the tyres and it's go (well, to me). Not quite with the forementioned combo: I'm having trouble with T1 at BLGP, as the car really likes to oversteer when I'm exiting the turn and heading to the chicane. It just snaps, and I'm not even giving it much throttle at all, the third gear just seems too 'torquey' for the car to cope with. It's not that I can't cope with that, it's a matter of being extra-careful and taking a wider line, however for long races I can only imagine sooner rather than later I will make that mistake...several times. So what's the best way to make the car more tamed and less twitchy under that circunstance, even if it means I may compromise 0.2 secs or whatever in that sector.

Thanks

EDIT: well, other than messing with the 3rd gear or using the 4th :P
TRy a bit more rear wing downforce and a bit softer rear suspension. Make 3rd gear a bit longer so its not so 'torquey'
Thanks for the fast reply, ran two laps and it was like night and day: much more predictable car
less locking on the power side of the dif will get you through there and still be able to run less downforce, which is faster.
Thanks for the tip too, may try that later, even though I'm more than happy with the two small ajudstments to the wing and suspension I made. I can now say with a little more practice the 1.08 mark is more than feasible. Something I couldn't think of with the setup as it were. I can now easily push the car through the corners as it got ALOT less tail happy and the speed loss isn't all that noticeable. Simple changes, yet they changed the handling completly... actually, I'm impressed as I didn't even remember to mess with the wings, which are the most obvious and basic aspect of single-seaters. Anyway, once again thanks for the quick tips.
chk the parallel steer first and foremost before you play with anything else.

i don't know why, but from all the sets i've seen, they're ALL 100% parallel steer; which makes absolutely no sense to me anyway.

try lowering that to something like 10-15% and see if it gets rid of it.
