Practical Corner Weighting: 4. Making Ballast Changes
4. Making Ballast Changes

00:00 | - In the next step of our process we can consider making corrections or adjustments to our existing corner weight balance by physically moving mass around in the car. |
00:09 | There's two ways we can do this you'll recall, we can either add ballast to the car or move existing heavy components. |
00:16 | In our case there is no minimum weight for the class the car is racing in so there's no requirement for us to add ballast and this means there's no potential for us to make adjustment by this technique. |
00:29 | Likewise, this is already a developed car, all of the componentry is already fitted to the car so there's not really a lot of advantage we can take from moving existing components such as perhaps the battery or the fire suppression system around in the car. |
00:44 | On this basis, there's nothing we can do in this step and we're going to simply move onto the next step of the process where we'll be making adjustments to our corner weight balance via the technique of adjusting our individual ride heights. |
