Instructions
1. Increase the width of the tires. This increases the contact patch and allows the tires to generate more grip.
2. Optimize the tire pressure. Test different tire pressures to see what allows you the highest lateral cornering force.
3. Change the camber in the tires. The camber is how much the tires lean in toward the center of the vehicle. Leaning the tires in toward center will allow the contact patch to be larger during hard cornering and therefore increase cornering grip. However, it can decrease the contact patch under straight line braking, and increase the braking distance.
4. Soften the suspension. Softening the suspension allows the tires to better deal with bumps in the road, which can increase the time the tire is in contact with the road, and therefore increase their grip. Over-softening the suspension can cause the car to loose grip as it can reduce the efficiency of the inside tire.
Note: Always test your changes with data on lap times and cornering, accelerating and braking forces to make sure they have the desired effect.
NB: Make changes in small increments otherwise you can accidentally make the car undrivable
