My race car


Question Posted Monday May 2 2005, 4:44 pm

I have a Toyota Minolta(sponsored) race car that I am using in endurance races. Since it is more than 1000 horsepower, the gas mileage isn't that great. It is a middle-engine, rear wheel drive monster of a car. Heres the problem: My rear tires are wearing out much faster than my front tires, i know with it being rear wheel drive that it is prone to doing this, but is there a way to prevent it? Should i increase the downforce on the rear wing or would that just cause more problems? Advice please.

you should add more down force to it so it gets better traction and dosen't wearout as many tires.

Adding more downforce to the rear will reduce oversteer. In doing this, your rear tires should last longer.

well when i go to races ppl burn out and that heats up your tires and so that could be a reason that they are wearing out faster and the other reason could be b/c you have more weight on the front and your rear wheel drive and that the tires in the back just spin more and so i think you should put downforce on the rear wing and that should help

hope i helped
