0012: Honda S600 [tuned 150 ps] at 9’55.255

[Indescribable Sense of Conquest]

Since normal motion performance was very comfortable, I applied a tune with increased engine output.
At the same time, I tried a simple setup that increased the suspension damping force and slightly lowered the car’s height.
After all, the engine is very good. It will blow up without any stress.

The problem is cornering performance.
When it was normal, the gentle cornering of the midship layout and the sense of security of the rear, which is the characteristic of this car, were harmonized, and the lightness was outstanding, but it became a severe steer characteristic.
The rear brakes down quickly.
This led to a sense of fear, and it required prudence to slow down sufficiently before entering the corner, and to insert the steering wheel after a short interval.
Can you see the fearful steering on the video?
Therefore, entering the corner while maintaining the front load while leaving the brake is strictly prohibited.
This means that the suspension is softer than the engine output, and it is not possible to cope with the increase in damping force.

Between Wippermann and Brünchen, you can see that they manage to control their attitudes by twitching. In a nutshell, the chassis performance lost to the engine output.
But when you look at lap time, it’s pretty clear that it’s a very fast car of its kind.
With a high-powered heart and a midship layout, the compact body is filled with an “indescribable sense of conquest” that holds everything in its hands.
