how to stop wheelspin?

[105epwr]

Hi,had my 1st trackday in my williams trackcar,its got pipercams fully stripped etc-its a proper rally/trackcar it runs slicks and de-carbon front legs and gaz rear adj shocks
basically when coming out of the 2 hairpins at rockingham im getting excessive wheelspin(one wheel)even in 3rd it was smoking the tyre in fact i fucked the diff by diner time ,i no lsd is the way but has anyone got any other advice to prevent sum of it at least? i no the basics like tyre pressures,feathering the throttle etc
your thoughts please....:dapprove:
thanks

LSD is the only way really.

apart from that you can only try to stiffen the chassis and prevent body roll

its got a full rollcage,f&r strut braces etc i might try adjusting the rear shocks.

...right so that chassis is stiff then.
LSD mate. It'll be so so worth it

and pull away slower being lighter on the clutch! :rasp::rasp:

Your problem is unloading the inside wheel and an open diff.

Your problem is worse than normal as slicks generate higher G loadings and affect weight shift more. You actually lighten the inside wheel more, and eventhough it is a slick you have less grip on that wheel and it spins up.

LSD is the answer....or go in faster and slide the bugger.

put a weld in the diff so the wheels can only travel at the same speed
