Having a few issues with handling

First of all, I hope this is the right section of the forum for this, can’t really see anybody asking for help fixing their cars anywhere. (side note, “there was an error uploading that file”… is that normal?)

Anyway! First issue, and probably a bit tricky to solve due to restraints, the Lotyou Nosprit Turbo SE. As the awfully punny name suggests, it’s a (terrible tbh, I found the worst body for it) replica of a Lotus Esprit Turbo SE because Lotus Turbo Challenge 2. Lots of stats are “real” like tire and brake size, but it handles like crap. I think it goes terminal oversteery? As soon as it goes a little fast, the steering becomes over reactive and VERY tail happy. Suspension tuning seems ok… and this brings me to the second point, being that it actually happens to a lot of my cars :frowning: so finding a way to fix it would be absolutely awesome.

The poor Lambrari F555 is another example of a wonderful idea that can’t be steered at speed much to my annoyance.

Then the New Zelander Kiwi (that I now see is actually wrong, ouch. In my defense in Italian it’s “Nuova Zelanda”) that uh, I have no idea how to tune because it sits really low on the rear suspension but the graph seems fine.

The Tazmanian Bandicoot handles nice, but I’d like some confirmation that the occasional loss of control is due to the rear engine rather than tuning issues.

Similar deal for the Fat Man: it’s dog slow because it relies too much on the turbo and right now they don’t export well, correct? I meant to make a sporty lol van for fun in Beam but alas XD

The Supunta Viagra A was purpose built to lift the front wheels (get it? Viagra?) so you can imagine how happy I am to say it fails totally. Little help? I also have a Viagra D that is the same but with huge rims, hoping that a different style of tires would fix that but it behaves the same (not included)

Also included the Chipa Young, I’m just proud of that one because it handles well, looks nice and overall feels like my interpretation of a modern Fiat Panda Young, so great success there.

I have never been more disappointed in humanity

Also downforce might help

Oh. Not like that, the plan was to achieve it from a standstill, essentially like Herbie Rides Again (1974) or The Fast and the Furious (2001) like in drag racing, you know?

Wide as possible rear tires, 115mm ish front tires. Also, depending on weight distribution you need at least 800 to 1300 hp to lift the front.

Apart from that, high suspension, maybe 300mm, soft at the front and very stiff at the rear

Stiff at the rear? Well, that explains it, I made them super soft all around

Yes, stiff at the rear if wheelies are your goal. Soft rear suspension means more weight transfer, which means more grip. Good luck.

Tried to make a wheelie car and failed :frowning:
