Roadblock
I've searched for information on this, but most threads seem to be related to 'fixing' the head movement... which is not my problem.
I suspect what I'm experiencing can be corrected by some garage settings/setup, but I am not sure I understand what's going on, so hopefully someone here can help me understand.
The easiest way to demonstrate this is: Fire up a formula ISI car,use the default setup, do a testing day at the Montreal track, and get up to 190mph (305kph)+ on the long straight and observe that the car seems to get into this oscillating state.. just bouncing. I suspect it's some interaction between the springs, dampers and all of the downforce (maybe the car's bottoming out, but I am personally not seeing sparks out the back). I've had this happen on a couple other tracks, but I still wasn't sure what was going on.
Can anyone explain what's happening, and what the 'correct' approach to fixing it should be (in terms of changing the car's setup)? Thanks!
