There's not a great deal you can do about the weight transfer - it's going to happen. What is important for the handling and balance of the car is the amount of weight transfer at the front and the rear, or in other words, the roll stiffness. The larger the lateral weight transfer at either end of the car, the more total grip that end loses. A more balanced car will have a similar amount of weight transfer front and rear - you want both the front and the rear to lose around about the same amount of grip to maintain a balance.So the app shows two numbers, both related to how much more lateral weight transfer there is at the front compared to the rear. The bigger the number, the more weight transfer is happening at the front compared to the rear. If the number is negative, you are getting more lateral weight transfer at the rear. The "Corner" figure shows this for the last corner, and the "Avg" figure shows this averaged over the whole lap.A stiffer end has more lateral weight transfer. So if you want to get a positive number that the app displays closer to 0, soften the front or stiffen the rear. If you want to get a negative number that the app displays closer to 0, stiffen the front or soften the rear.A good car to experiment with is the Ferrari 599XX Evo, as that has a big range of ARB adjustment.

Is the Average 0? Maybe it's possible to get 100 for one corner, but average of 0 over the whole lap (if some corners are negative)? Is it always 0, or does it change? « Last Edit: August 19, 2018, 05:55:29 PM by Wally » Logged “You can please some of the people all of the time, you can please all of the people some of the time, but you can’t please all of the people all of the time” Freezer RestrictedRacing Hero Member Posts: 1296 Karma: 33 Re: Tyre Pressure Engineer « Reply #162 on: August 19, 2018, 10:16:46 PM » Just did a few laps in the lotus at QLD, and got around 350 for Corner and around 180 for Average consistently across a number of laps.
