Where to resume our talk? The fact that, if the front was too loaded, with too much downforce, you could run into a problem. Let's see what and then continue with the analysis.
Too much downforce: «An overloaded front end results in an all-too-precise front and also oversteer. To avoid this consequence, you can tighten the rear track; reducing by 0.5 centimeters per side is enough to raise the rear and not force the front too much when cornering. The counterpart in this sense is entering a turn; if the wheel rises too early, the effect is sliding on entry. If it happens, it is good to go back inside the tent or garage and re-enlarge or widen a little."
The devil is in the details: "Other small measures could involve widening the front to give it more potential and, having less distance to travel in the turn, you could even reduce the gear ratio to a minimum. But on this, one must be careful, since it depends a lot on the situation of the track. Considering that the engine in winter has more performance, if the track is very smooth and you can bring a lot of speed in the corners, then the ratio can even be lengthened. If instead you cannot have the above effect, then you have to shorten it.»
Carburation and bearings: «Carburation, this must certainly be increased because the engine heats up and varies a lot with the passing of laps. Finally, it helps balancing the setting of the bearings, you can try to pull or release accordingly to put the front in a position to lift the rear.»
