The key to high performance handling is a top quality suspension
system. Proper chassis adjustments and properly balanced tire
pressures.
Aim for the theoretical ideal, neutral steer.
Neutral steer is matched front and rear traction.
Understeer is a plowing or pushing effect when cornering.
Oversteer is the rear sliding outward on turns. |
