Front Roll Center Effect
Lower • Increases on-throttle steering.
• Decreases car’s responsiveness.
• Decreases weight transfer at front of car, but increases grip.
• Increases chassis roll.
• Better on smooth, high-traction tracks with long fast corners.
Higher • Decreases on-throttle steering.
• Increases car’s responsiveness.
• Increases weight transfer at front of car, but decreases grip.
• Decreases chassis roll.
• Use in high-grip conditions to avoid traction rolling.
• Better on tracks with quick direction changes (chicanes).
Rear Roll Center Effect
Lower • Increases on-throttle grip.
• Decreases weight transfer at rear of car, but increases grip.
• Increases grip, decreases rear tire wear.
• Increases chassis roll.
• Use to avoid traction rolling at corner entry (increases rear grip).
• Better on low-traction tracks.
Higher • Decreases on-throttle steering.
• Increases weight transfer at front of car, but decreases grip.
• Increases car’s responsiveness.
• Decreases chassis roll.
• Use in high-grip conditions to avoid traction rolling in mid-corner and corner exit.
• Better on tracks with quick direction changes (chicanes).
