The Porsche 911 GT3 RS's electronics are a track-day game changer.
All of these systems are controlled by buttons and knobs on the steering wheel. Frankly, it's all a bit bewildering. With nine levels of adjustment between -4 and +4 for compression and rebound for front and rear, each changing the damper's valving parameters, there are 6561 different suspension settings alone. Then you get into differential settings and traction/stability control. So, where do you start?First off, don't worry about the aero.
To start making and understanding changes, you need a good comprehension of the fundamentals of damping. A damper is used to control the motions of a car's springs—without a damper, a spring would oscillate up and down infinitely after being compressed. The damper controls the motion in two directions, compression , and rebound.
Working with the compression settings can also help control the pitch and dive of the car. Too much rebound at the rear can actually cause the rear wheels to lift off the ground as the nose dives. This leads to turn-in oversteer, which as Cowley says you "really don't want" with a Porsche. This can also lead to corner-exit understeer, as the front tires are lifting off the ground as the body pitches as you get back to the throttle. The key is finding the sweet spot here.
