It had too much understeer for my taste so I adjusted that and gearing, but it was easier to manage.I think this is a good demo in our different driving styles , i like a degree of oversteer in a car and for me the Cooper has too much due to that heavy Maserati lump in the back , i thought that setup still had too much oversteer but it was the best i could get it to my liking , the gearing was set to get the most out of the engine just before the Masta kink , the Maserati was a sportscar engine not tuned for F1 so acceleration was not brilliant , i tried to use lower gearing to compensate , i didnt think there was much point in leaving a reserve for drafting as the lower top end cost too much in laptime .
As the engine took a long time to spool up i tried to use corner speed to compensate , i took eau rouge in 2nd , haute de la cote in 3rd , 5th all the way to Stavelot dropped to 4th , 5th to Blanchimont
Understeer - is when you hit the wall with the front of the car
Oversteer - is when you hit the wall with the back of the car
Horsepower - is how fast you hit the wall
Torque - is how far you move the wall when you hit it
