Default Drive Out Of Corners in Damp

Out of interest, asside from using the throttle a bit more gingerly, is there any way of generating more on power grip to get drive out of the corner in the damp?

Would rasing the gearbox make any difference or is there nothing you can do about it?

Not quite the response I am after there Mike

Just seeing if there is anything technical which would help reduce this.

Default Raising gearbox

Good question? Not sure what raising the gearbox really does or what conditions it would suit.

Other things which can improve drive coming out of corners in a 2wd car are:

Ride height of the rear lower than the front
Lower inner camber link holes
Shorter rear camber link
Softer rear oil
Inner shock mounting position on rear arm
Reduce anti-squat
Add weight to middle and along middle of car
