Hi, Fieldstar
I tried your setup, with the brake balance altered to 6/4 to better suit my Logitech G25, and found it to be a very creditable setup. It's fast as heck and rides most corners well. The springs and shocks are sensible to me, as are the other settings, and altho the front ride height looks suspiciously low to my eye, I did not see evidence of excessive grounding on my replay. And it's clear to see you've made effective efforts to balance understeer/oversteer. Even so, I find this Ford GT, indeed many mid-engine cars, to be too susceptible to sudden, snap-oversteer to suit my conservative, real-world approach to driving fast. In other words, it's too scary, too often, and I might get hurt! My preference is for an understeering car which can be hustled, abused even, with sometimes two wheels off the road, and still hope to come home in one piece.
If you continue to tune this car, you might want to try higher ride heights and possibly some softening in the rear end , maybe even negative rear toe, in order to further tame the sometimes unruly back end. Higher LSD values sometimes help stability, altho can harm turn-in.
I hope this helps, if only in a tiny way, to your quest for speed.
Your truly,
Dotini
