SHAKEDOWN UNIVERSITY - Car Setup

[@thefishman1987]

Best SDU yet Leo! Eye-opening stuff. You know this is why we keep coming back.

[@TheLostSurveyor]

Thanks Leo. I'm finally beginning to truly understand all of the nuances of racing. You should write a book. Seriously, I'd buy it.

[@FrodoFett]

@ProcessRacing29 : Anti-sway bars if you want to get technical about it... in a racecar they are adjustable from the cockpit along with brake bias.

[@Jontenn]

Opening a beer, and watching Leo Parente. The weekend is here, fuck yeah, love you FLD!

[@djemett]

I will be at Road America too this weekend. Hope I see you there Leo.

[@axeman3d]

Good stuff as always, Leo. Leave 'em wanting more.

[@Elephant_Thoughts]

@flawns He meant "aero" for aerodynamics for the shape of your car to improve down-force in different parts of the vehicle in different situations.

[@FrodoFett]

Leo - Can you give a quick explanation as to why a little understeer is good in fast corner entry and exits? My only inclination is that it helps facilitate a slight drift so the car can be pointed out of the corner.

[@Lenoch_]

Highly educational. Deserves more views.

[@FrodoFett]

@dakoffran : Forums are a good place to start collecting information on parts and there are probably forums for your specific make/model. There is as much bad information out there as good so just use the search feature and look for people posting the most relevant information. Do a lot of research, figure out what does not work based on other's bad experiences. Ultimately street mods are not nearly as stiff or extreme as track mods.

[@rrm155]

Good stuff as always, Leo! Generally speekaing, why so little coverage of Grand-Am and World Challenge?

[@bottomlayer]

I always enjoy these episodes

[@Icanfixit-2]

Lmbo @ Leo! "If you still can't figure out how to operate FLD playlist, don't bother trying to work on setup!" Leo is the man!

[@branzilla7833]

Leo, KZbin had Americas Cup race from Portugal last Sunday. It really was some excellent racing. Are you open talk about maritime racing or does too far off your racing spectrum from road racing?

[@skyboom64]

Excellent Leo.

[@Alexandra-Rex]

Always great Leo! Write this down!

[@rallymaniac92]

Hell yeah! Leo vs. Boris!

[@LeoParente]

@g00sampson Loose [oversteer] IS fast [rotates car 2 turn the corner]. But, your inclination is the way I was taught it. On ovals, set-up [alignment + tilt - camber tilting all tires into the corner, tire stagger - larger diameter on the outside, + other 'tricks' create rotation 2 help turn the car. 'Your inclination' allows u 2 work the car, save the car, + keep it tail first off the wall! On a road course like LimeRock, mostly right hand turns, try a slightly modded-oval setup.

[@MrSuperZid]

leo in a sim. awesome. cant wait.

[@luckyleavell7]

Best episode yet, too much info, head exploding urghh! THANKS LEO

[@ToyotaGT1Racer]

Yep.. be back next week!

[@mrshine67]

Leo what are your thoughts on Nascar racing on road coarses?

[@BubbaSmurft]

I choo-choo-choose you. (gaffer). Pretty good Leo. Keep these set-up/driving SD's coming. Funny, first thing I thought of was Boris' helmet too...wuss.

[@TheLostSurveyor]

Great opinion shown from Will Power. How did he really feel?

[@bullenario]

i MISS SHAKEDOWN UNIVERSITY!!!

[@FasterThanYou789]

@rrm155 Grand-Am doesn't get much coverage or support outside of the United States (even ALMS is decently popular internationally). SCCA World Challenge faces a similar situation (heck, I don't even think it has any sort of TV deal, unlike the ALMS and Grand-Am)

[@sford01]

Leo, I just beat GT5 and saw your name in the credits. Pretty sweet.

[@carmel721]

good show!

[@Subdubbin]

@singleblankscreen right rick?

[@AZNfav]

Strut bars helps for cornering

[@bullenario]

I click liked as soon as i so the word UNIVERSITY, it wasnt as good as before but still for me the best part of fld.

[@scarble]

I have to say I'm a little worried by what I've read on Sim Raceway. Anywho, anyone who's really interested should look for Allan Staniforths "Race and Rally Car Source Book", it's a Haynes manual (literally) for setting up and even building from scratch a race car and the guy was a legend in the British hill-climb scene. Good episode but too short.

[@KidDisaster2113]

I'm not really a Patrick fan but she drove a solid race and survived a lot of attrition. Anyone could have lost it in those conditions on those tires.

[@cikoleko]

What you mean by the background picture? Carbon fibre :?

[@musicodigy]

Wow. I learned quite a bit from this video.

[@LegoXC]

I know how much you love NASCAR Leo, but watch the wreck again. Ragan caused his own wreck by trying to run Boris off the track. You can't pin that one on Boris, he was on the edge of the track, and Ragan moved up where there was no room.

[@mycorvettelife]

I want to here this interview with Doug Fehan.

[@disengagejam]

great input ... Danica really doesn't have the 'skill' to win and her car control proves it -- she'll be best friends with the wall once her full-time Nascrap career starts next year !

[@XDRONIN]

Leo, if you do happen to go flip-off anyone at the next ALMS race, can you flip-off everyone at the GT-AM class as well? Also, I will have to disagree with you on Danica P. Because as I watched the race I notice a few drivers that went off at the exact spot as she did on previous laps, and from what I saw; I think Danica did suffer from bad set-up as she was unable to get good power down from her car to the wheels coming out of the corner and have no traction.

[@masayel]

after this I'm going back to Race07 to do my homework! Leo I do know how to use playlist lol

[@dpaulgtr92]

more shakedown university please !!! :D

[@raileanulucian]

lol, Leo is the 'biggest badass in New York' according to the video description

[@ProcessRacing29]

Bars? As in sway bars right?

[@flawns]

woooh, I learned a lot.... but what is "arrows," never seemed to be explained in this video But still I want more of Shakedown University

[@MrNoahthefox95]

@Jontenn I would do that, but here in the states its only 2 pm... ahhh what the fuck....

[@viperfanacr]

What does he mean by bars?

[@singleblankscreen]

Leo is the BAWSS!

[@thephranc]

Id like to see you take on Boris.

[@flawns]

@BBoyCrownedOne oooooh lol....yeah I know what aero is, thanks. I could sworn he said arrow instead of aero

[@hrach559]

Hey FLD, Just wanted to let you guys know that there is a place here in Fresno,CA first one actually in North America. Its called RACEROOM. they are racing simulation stations set up so people can race each other. they have great software set up already, and its an amazingly fun experience! I think you should fly out here and try to beat me in a race! then give me tips and pointer haha!! P.S. Can a college student get a free FLD Shirt? lol

[@heyedmond]

Leo in Simraceway would be cool.

[@FerrarisRock]

is it just me or are fastlanedaily views way down from what they used to be. Now i feel bad that I haven't been watching FLD lately :( BTW FLD and shakedown are way better and more refined since '10 You guys should try and do something with the Speed channel to promote the show! Get Matt Farah to plug-in FLD :P

[@The69kelvinder]

good shit

[@Bansheeflyr]

I just honestly cant understand MAN! I type in sim raceway on youtube and all i find are videos about crashes. WHAT THE hell, you would think they would go for a Iracing sponsorship, after all they are on their way to the top right now and there are limitless options especially for what Leo wants out of a training tool

[@Chrisuu]

@lilbro209 I agree on this yet again

[@SuprVlln]

you know american racing is going downhill when Leo praises Danica Patric at all

[@asd863]

doesnt yellow and blue make green not royal purple??? any1 else notice that?

[@flawns]

MOAR!!!!! MMOOOARRRR!!!!! I want moar like how Emperor Palpatine wants more power! MOAR!

[@VictorBeltran]

LOVE the racers of the week! Danica Danica Danica ... worse thing that could have happened to Indycar racing.

[@zVlPERz]

shakedown university is awesome

[@D3mander]

[@Jontenn]

[@davidmac2007]

@lilbro209 Shakedown will be better with sponsorship, more money to spend elsewhere

[@Demicron]

weeeeeeeeee

[@TheDirtyGoatee]

Leo... will you adopt me?

[@lamdo23tech]

Danic shouldnt have went to stupid nascar. She should have went to International LeMans or F1. This way wwe an have a american driver again!

[@bottomlayer]

That sounds more like different is worse

[@willkilla]

Very helpful. Ill use this in Race07
