Example, at the start of a night on a dirt track with a lot of water (we call it a tacky track) the track surface is soft and has a lot of grip (high TDF value) when the track is like this there is almost no tire wear on dirt tires, very minimal.

A dirt track is different then tarmac for sure with tire wear. I did a bunch of test and no matter what I did the tires wore faster with a higher value in the TDF. One thing that is important for Dirt Oval racing that we have not found a solution for is the way the track surface works with tire wear. I would love someone with more knowledge to add to this, it seems a few changes to the way we are allowed to adjust settings in the garage would fix a lot of the confusion to me. because to add LR weight to a car you have to stiffen the LR or make the LR ride height higher, neither of these has to happen in rfactor so I think you can get some unrealistic setups. That is a few options you have, if you move the locations around in rfactor I think it will accomplish some of this but it is not 100% accurate I think. You can move in the RR (we cannot do in rfactor without an upgrade), you can decrease air pressure in rear tires, you can raise the ride height and this makes the roll center lower and raises the CG of the car ( I am not sure how raising the ride height effects the roll center or cg height to be honest, I have tried to figure it out with mixed answers), you can decrease stagger (another thing rfactor will do not quite right, it will decrease, but it does not raise the LR corner of the car and add weight to the LR), you can also add LR weight the the car and rear weight in general) So if I wanted to add LR weight to the car I could increase LR ride height or go to a stiffer LR spring and this would have an effect on the weight on that corner.įor an example a real sprint car or midget for that matter if the car is super loose there are many options you can do in real life. I would like to be able to do all weight jacking with a torsion stop or a spring perch for each corner.

More importantly to me for these cars is being able to set them up properly in the garage. Rfactor measures to the bottom of the frame rail, to me this is not a huge deal you just have to know what that distance is from a real car to the bottom of the rail to be able to compare to a real life setup. I would have to look up the measurements to give a real number but something like 14 inches they would say for example on the RR, that is to the RR torsion arm at the tube (center of the bar). Most of the time Sprint and Midget guys measure to the torsion tubes.
