Hey Vance, I was fine‑tuning my sim’s traction model the other day and it got me thinking—what’s the absolute minimal throttle lag you can hit without losing traction, and how would you tweak the downforce to shave a tenth off your lap? Let's break it down.

Sure thing. Aim for a 20‑millisecond throttle lag; that’s the sweet spot where the car still feels tight but the motor’s output stays linear. To shave a tenth off, bump front downforce by 5–10 % to lock the front tires, cut rear downforce slightly to lower drag, and tweak the diffuser angle to keep the airflow clean. Keep the wheel spin rate low, so you stay in the sweet spot of grip, and you’ll see the lap drop.
