For example, if you're car changes direction quickly because you've set it up with quite a bit of toe out - your car will naturally oversteer.

If you then put the oversteer ASM up to 3 or 4 depending on car, you'll have a car that changes direction quickly but does not oversteer

Generally, if you whack oversteer to 0 and understeer to 20, it will make your car turn in alot better. If your car naturally is oversteery though, setting it up like this will make your car very fidgety and skittish
And it will help you learn to use the brakes when turning also am I correct?

BTW I have been told by alot of people on AIM that they dont like the F1 car becuase it oversteers too much so I told them ot go to the suspensions settings and lower the spring rates all the way and go drive and the found it to be better! So you guys might wanna try that out espicially at a track like the ring!
Well at the ring it could be many thing effecting oversteer with the bumps and everything.

Generally, oversteer means the rear hasn't got enough grip, so you need to soften up the rear spring rate to give it more grip, not the front. On the ring obviously its very bumpy, so lowering the dampers bounce a few points nad maybe the rebound one will help it grip alot more. On a fidgety car like the caterham you need to mess around with cambers to get that last bit of grip.

Haven't played too much with the F1 car myself but these change in settings have definately worked for most cars ive worked on around the 'ring.

If your car is understeering, stiffen the back compared to the front, or soften the front springs.
but for oversteer you could also harden up the front spring, if the rear spring rate already right...
what track you used for suspension setting? I usually use the deep forest, or the autum ring...these tracks gives good feedback...
what about down force? as far as I know, if the car is over than setting the downforce more at rear to maximize the grip, and for under, setting the downforce more at front...
