Learn how Gran Turismo 3: A-Spec's Limited Slip Differential (LSD) tuning parts prevent wheel spin and affect acceleration, deceleration, and cornering.
Limited Slip Differential (LSD) tuning parts are designed to prevent wheel spin from the inside wheel when accelerating through corners. By preventing the free spinning of the wheel on one side, which causes a loss of vertical loading, load is applied to the wheel. This allows torque to be transferred to the wheel on the other side.
The strength of the LSD effect is important for situations like the start of a drag race and for enjoying power slides in rear-wheel drive cars. By skillful use of the LSD, the character of a vehicle can be markedly changed.
However, although the LSD can increase the acceleration and deceleration performance of the car, the cornering performance suffers. It is necessary to adjust the settings of the LSD to take into account the balance between these settings and the skill of the driver.
- Adjust LSD settings to balance acceleration/deceleration gains against potential cornering performance loss.
- Consider LSD strength for drag races and power slides in rear-wheel drive cars.
- Skilful use of the LSD can markedly change a vehicle's character.
