Understering

[GTRmannen]

Hello

When Tiff in Top gear test the Ultima GTR i say 2 times the the doesn't want to bite,it want turn in

Is this a problem you guys have notised and is it a fix for this

[ultimajohn]

No problem, it is a safe set up. If you want the car to be more pointy (i.e. less understeer) it is easily adjusted by Toe-in, Camber, tyre pressures, ride height etc. The cars a thorough bred and responds appropriately.

To add, being mid-engined, it's a common problem as there's relatively little weight on the front. But as said already, it's safer to setup this way.

The front splitter and side pod vents help aerodynamically too.

Did you also notice it was pissing it down with rain, when he drove the car !!
Spoke to Tiff at goodward, he asked me a few questions about the car, seems like a nice bloke.

The filming of the Ultima was to be a two day event, the first was a blast round an airfield, the second was gonna be a 200mph+ run. Day two got cancelled.

The Ultima in Question was actually running absolute Maximum rear wing, to make the thing vaguley drivable in the torential conditions and therefore would understeer like crazy, this was pointed out to Tiff, and he said he wouldnt mention it!

I knew day 2 was cancelled. The comments from Vez make sense. Understeer is not normally a problem!

And Mr Quaiffe makes it all the more fun too

As I understood it, Tiff had a barney with his producer on the day and was in a bit of a bad mood, so was not too kind about the car. Actually, l met him at Le Mans with Derek Bell and Justin Bell when they were sharing a drive. The Bells were as friendly as could be but Tiff said nothing. Perhaps a group of scruffy blokes in the pits was not his thing.
