Spring more less which corner? Kind of lost. Only happens a couple times a year where I race, but want to get better when it does happen. Thanks
I am assuming you mean black slick? When a track takes rubber, it is kinda gray and grip goes up.
Usually, if you have a really balanced race car, you don't have to adjust a lot of stuff for different grip levels. The only thing you really need to do is keep the weight transfer and attitude of the car consistent for the loss of speed on a slick surface.
It sounds like your balance is off, but it is showing up more when the track gets slick. Have you checked tire temps? What type of rear suspension? Front clip? Enter corner on gas or off gas? We will need a little info.
