In this video, I am slightly confused during the lecture (around 35 minutes) about the minimum and maximum damper settings for the GT86 example relative to the 5 runs and driver's feedback. My understanding is that the 0 setting takes more force to move the damper ~15mm/s and the 12 setting takes less force. I translated this as the 12 setting being the softest setting, meaning that the vechicle will roll more when corner entering as described in the driver's feedback for run 1. In the video lecture, it comes off as the exact opposite when the adjustments are refered to as "Plus 3 clicks". Am I correct or did I make a mistake?
Normal damper terminology is 0 is the stop position -- this can be full soft or full stiff depending upon the damper model. If you soften from full stiff, you generally write is as -1, -2, -3 etc, each value is softer, so -12 might be the softest setting, and adding plus 3 clicks would take to you -9.
Now dampers where 0 is full soft, you generally write stiffer values as +1, +2, +3, so adding plus 3 clicks will still make it stiffer.
I'm sorry I haven't watched that exact video, but this is general experience from doing damper adjustments on race cars, and running dampers on a shock dyno.
