    I'm struggling to bare keep up with FI against 100% AI at Brasilia because the car seems to under-steer under throttle.I believe that the rear differential would push the car into an oversteer, but it's not happening.

    I tried different settings, as lower rear wing, more stiff rear suspension and/or ARBs and soften the front... tried to turn the car into a skate, them as soft as a truck, but nothing change this.

    Is that supposed to happen or I am missing something?

    Usually I race with between 110% and 125%, but simply can't understand this car.

    Abração!

    F-Inter has an open diff, not a limited slip diff. It's a car very strong on traction but doesn't lock on power which can induce understeer, especially if the track is on lower grip levels.

    My guess is that you just drive this car way to polite.
    Havent driven this little bathtup ever.
    But because of your understeer thing took it for a ride on the Imola 1970.
    Nothing much to set in the setup - but managed after a few punishing laps 1:51.480.
    Specially the last double corner its able to drift aroung getting the rear out using the throttle.
    Understeer?
    No way:D

    Well... this is consistent with the car reactions. Probably it's me that need some more training with this combination (open dif + "high" aero).

    Is there any particular way to deal with this car on these long high speed corners?

    I tried both ways and all the shades of gray between. Probably I will have to find the sweet spot. My times are circa 1:50.low... not that bad, but the AI at 100% is a little faster and I qualified at 6th (by tents of second).

    At more low speed circuits, as Londrina, my results with this car are way better. Probably the issue is the track itself. I was not found of Brasilia track because I completely hate the city and have some resistance to like tracks too plain. I begun to put some effort there a few weeks ago when a lad convinced me that the track wort it because of it's oldschool feeling (exactly the succession of medium to high speed corners and the poor tarmac care given there) and it really is. With some other cars I use to score relatively good lap times there.

    Cheers!

    The first few laps I thought this car is terrible.
    But then after a few more and some messing with the wing I feel it isnt that bad.
    But at the moment I prefer as example the F-Reiza.
    Wrum wrum :D

    Cheers!

    I like the car... it has a good feeling overall, but in this race I'm struggling because of the understeer, the snapness (because when you loose the car you really loose it) and because AMS2 AI always go for the gap, even with low agro. I can keep within the podium zone, but can't last more than 10 minutes (two 20 min races) without some AI car try some fun stuff and f##k my race, giving me that open lobby feeling lol.

    Reiza could add the option to the AI "don't go for the gap because you are a f##king AI, not Ayrton Senna (that was also wrong... just forget the gap... it is a racing, not a porn lol)"... but it's realistic as everybody from open lobbies to minor pro leagues seems to be racing like this. There was a time when drivers were allergic to two/three/four-wide and have the patience (and inteligence) to just stick behind the other driver until a good overtake spot, IF THERE IS ONE.
