Ok.. Can't say I go any slower round corners outside than I do inside. I only probably run my car maybe two mm lower indoors than I do outdoors.

Car bottoming isn't a problem as long as it doesn't unsettle the car too much. And as already said in this thread, with a bit of tuning it can be adjusted to calm it down if it is happening. A big enough jump will make any car bottom out though.

Hi
I tried the Schumacher tapered three hole pistons with different oils as per Simon Moss set up but could not cure the bottoming.

I do not think that there is any answer to this other than cars are different and handle in a different way and cope with conditions in different ways.

I haven't changed my setup for nearly 2 yeas now and can honestly say my car doesn't bottom out? I run the same piston/oil/spring combination everywhere and have every intention of starting on that setup at the Worlds in a few weeks.

That will have some of the largest jumps around and I don't have any concerns?

Hi Simon
Could i ask a couple of questions, what is your shock absorber set up (springs, pistons, oils, rebound, diaphrams length) and ride height.

I know what you are saying about the big jump at the worlds it is huge, I find that we have a series of big bumps close together and not on a flat surface.

The bumps are more like mounds, so from the top of the mound the track falls away in all directions and this is all on the side of a bank.

You need to see it to understand the difference and how the two car handle the bumps.

good luck at the worlds
