Big Banked Turns: How to set-up for?

[Dave Embry]

Ok, Say you have a track with almost all left hand turns that are flat....except for one big, tight, high banked left turn that is about...oh....200 degrees (in turning radius...not banking angle..haha!). When you go through the turn with a normal flat track set-up, you tend to push and bind the engine (no doubt due to the IR not lifting enough).
I know the more the bank, the more the CG is pushed INTO the track which should make it harder to keep the IR lifted...resulting in a push and engine bind. I have my ideas about how the chassis could be set-up to counteract this but don't want to influence others thoughts/answers. What would you do?

A little more negative camber on the RF or a little more caster on the RF should help. If most of your corners are lefties and the big banked corner is a lefty too then a little more left side weight would also work a little better.

Just my opinions,

If everything else on the track is ok. Try just leaning forward and toward the outside on that one particular turn. Might be the easiest solution. Any time you develope a push while racing try manually moving some weight off the inside rear by leaning forward.
