I’m trying to get into rally for real in a few years when I’m old enough. I hope to get an edge with the simulator and I think I’m pretty good getting around 200th in the world in the clubs events but they’re all on stock setup. That’s where my next step will be and this video helps a tone and if it’s able to translate into reality which I’d say it will you’ll have a big part to play in my future in the sport. Great video

[@noxnovaYT]

Thank you very much! I also hope that sometime in the future I will be able to get my own car and compete in real rally. I hope you will be able to fulfill your dreams and get better and better at the club events! P.S. This was a very heartwarming comment! 🧡

Now this is a huuge improvement! Well done!

[@flameburstgt6503]

When i built my own rally car for career mode which was a Mid engined WRC junior car. I severely underestimated the liftoff oversteer issues especially on the Sweden track. It was on edge a lot. I will try your advice and see if it helps. Thanks

[@noxnovaYT]

Great! I expect some feedback. 😁

[@flameburstgt6503]

@@noxnovaYT update: after adjusting the front and rear toe, increasing the preload on the differential. The car is so much easier to control and I can finally use the weight distribution advantage of the mid engine layout in the twisty stages. Also the rear camber was higher than the front camber by default for some reason so that may have been another factor as well

I am a complete noob to setups. This is an amazing video, more intuitive than anything I've watched in my 6 years circuit racing. I still got a bunch of questions though and would be incredibly happy if you took the time to answer those that you can. In any case this was really good, i can't sing the praise loud enough I am a little confused by the part where you say you get oversteer from a high rear LSD Driving Lock. I thought the point of a high Lock was to get better traction at the cost of understeer? Do the Differential principles apply differently to front and rear? is there any value in not having Differentials symmetrical? Did I get it right that essentially a high BRAKING Lock makes the car more stable/less prone to lockups under braking, but forces you into a straighter line while open brake lock makes lockups more dangerous because one wheel will keep spinning and that also gives you more agency to change your line slowing down allowing easier transition in the turn in phase? The Preload seemed a bit esoteric and just a tool to manipulate car balance, but i dont understand what you mean by "Depressing and releasing throttle on corner entry", because on corner entry i don't touch the throttle. This is just me being confused by what exactly you mean It seems like your approach to Brake Bias is exclusively to find the maximum stopping power. I always intuitively shifted it a bit rearwards because I like turning the car on the brakes from my experience with circuit sim racing. Is that an element I should ever consider or is it just maximum stopping power? Similar question for the ARB: is it strictly a tool to control stability when absorbing roughness? In circuit racing the ARB is mainly used to gain grip and control whether you want over or understeer. Is this a thing here or is it just about absorbing the road? Would you generally agree if I said the damper/spring/ARB all function by the principle: Soft -> better predictability and stability on rough terrain; Stiff -> More cornering grip to go actually fast?

[@noxnovaYT]

Hi and thank you for asking! I will be very happy to answer all your questions. 😁 So, starting with the first one: The oversteer from the high rear diff lock comes because the torque will be split more evenly between the two wheels and when they get enough traction they will want to spin your car around. You must have heard the term "welded diff" in drifting. This means that the rear differential was welded to ensure 100% lock, so the wheels spin at the same speed and the torques are split equally, making the car more easily to spin around. But In other motorsports having the rear end of your car constantly trying to turn you around is not the way to go. In the second one, you are almost right. But if the braking lock is way open and one wheel will lock under braking, the car still won't be able to turn easily and you will still end up sliding. While a higher braking lock will be beneficial to the point where no wheel will lock under braking because a spinning wheel will always brake better and you will also have the ability to turn the car. About the PRELOAD you're right. What I was trying to say there is that whenever you are close to a corner you will gradually release the throttle while gradually applying the brake all the way to mid-corner. (Trail braking - which is where the effect of the preload can be felt) From there you will release the brakes while slowly accelerating to exit the corner. Well, I'd say that maximum stopping power is very important. F.e. when the McLaren Senna came out back in 2019, it had an immense stopping power compared to many other super and hypercars. This meant a huge advantage compared to other cars that had to apply the brakes and lose speed way ahead of any corner, while the Senna could zoom past them in that time and brake right before the corner entry. But in some cases braking with the rear end sliding it's good for turn-in, but to me it's not the best way to go. If I want to approach a corner like this, I will use the handbrake. The ARBs control the stiffness of the chassis, they link both suspensions from the left and right side of the car. F.e. when a car is turning left the weight is transferred to the right overloading the suspension and the tires, while the left side will get lighter. Here comes the ARB: a stiff one will not let the left suspension extend but will try to keep it at almost the same compression as the right one which will lift the wheel off the ground transferring even more weight to the wheels on the right side, up to the point where it loses traction and start sliding. A softer ARB will do the opposite: it won't care if the other suspension wants to extend, then the left side wheels will stay on the ground, but now the body roll will be higher making the car feel like a boat and unpredictable. Keep in mind that this also applies to bumps, jumps, or anything that makes the suspensions move. And finally, I totally agree with you on the last statement. This is the hardest part about tuning setups, finding a balance between all these factors on different kinds of terrains, and still go fast af. 😂 Sorry, it took so long to respond, I was out of town at a friend's wedding this weekend and only now have I found enough time to respond to all your questions. If there is something I missed, feel free to ask again. 😁

Salutare. Multumim ptr informatii, desi nu prea imi place sa imi nasul in astfel de setari, cam trebuie s-o fac. Datorita tutorialului pot intelege cat si la ce sa umblu. Cred ca ar merge ceva tutoriale si in romana ptr mica comunitate de romani (cel putin pe mine m-ar ajuta sa inteleg mai bine) :D Spor in continuare. PS. M-am abonat la canal :D

[@noxnovaYT]

Salut! Imi pare bine ca te-am ajutat! Pentru WRC1 am o colectie cu preset-uri pentru majoritatea locatiilor si urmeaza sa mai scot clipuri pana ce am sa le parcurg pe toate. Din pacate tocmai din cauza faptului ca, comunitatea din Romania este mica nu prea mi se merita sa fac videoclipuri in limba Romana. Dureaza cel putin o zi sa scriptez, inregistrez si sa montez un simplu videoclip de tip "Setup Guide". Nu zic ca nu am sa fac niciodata, dar momentan ma rezum doar la videoclipuri in limba engleza. Mersi mult ca te-ai alaturat comunitatii, te astept si pe grupul de Discord pentru mai multe povesti, informatii, etc. Gasesti link in descriere.

[@k.n.9565]

@@noxnovaYT yes because i was really struggling understanding dampers from the videos ive watched but this one is so much easier to understand. ❤️

[@the-skn]

Great video! Just one question, isn't Fast Bump the one that absorbs the bumps? As in the damper compresses and releases quickly because of a small bump in the road, while the Slow Bump absorbs the jumps as it takes time between the damper to extention and retraction (due to the car being in the air for a bit)?

[@noxnovaYT]

Great point! But not really. Let's call a bumpy road a road with small jumps that don't necessarily make the car lift off the ground. So when the car hits a small jump, the shock that has to be absorbed will be also small (slow). But a big jump that makes the car take off, upon landing the induced shock will be much higher (fast). So it's about the shock severity basically. Like I said at 08:10. 😁

helped me to improve a lot but i have a question: can i set this setup for wrc cars too or is this just for wrc2 cars? and... can we set this setup for other vehicle classes too?

[@noxnovaYT]

Sure you can! The video explains the principle behind how every component works, which applies to every car class and even in real life. I chose a WRC2 car just to give some examples of how to approach the setups for each situation. But the principle is the same for any car.

[@daryuskeccaa]

@@noxnovaYT thanks for answer but this setup values in video cant put in wrc setup because wrc cars have other option values thats why i asked... for example: the damping values are different like in wrc2 car

[@kennygo5053]

is there any setup to make cars drift on Tarmac?

[@noxnovaYT]

I guess that if you take a RWD car, set the driving and braking lock to 100, zero preload, and lower the tire and wheel friction in FF settings, it should be achievable at some degree. 😅

[@PortiMeo]

@@noxnovaYT but there is no 100% lock. Max value is around 50%.

[@noxnovaYT]

I know that some cars cannot reach 100%, but I also know some cars that can reach full lock. Take for example the Lancia Delta Integrale in Croatia and do this: front LSD 0% on all 3 settings, viscous diff 0, bias all the way to the rear (put the slider all the way to the left) and rear LSD on full lock with zero perload.

[@kennygo5053]

@@noxnovaYT where those setting ? I am using xsx with ts-xw. if you talking about FF for wheel? that doesn't make sense for me. its just setting for force feedback on the wheel not for the tire of the cars.

[@noxnovaYT]

@@kennygo5053 Yes tire and wheel friction are forcefeedback settings, but I recomanded to lower those just to be easier to steer faster from left to right.
