Answer 1

this should help explain it a little.

They don't get into WHY it occurs because that would(could) require volumes of scientific data. usually a front wing adjustment can assist in correcting the issue but there are factors like , wind, traffic, humidity, track temp.tire condition, all factors that influence the amout of "grip" a car has.

Indy cars are a real "science" . they do goof-spooky speeds and have tiny little cars under their asses...

Answer 2

If you have understeer(push) , you hit the wall with the front of the car. If you have oversteer(loose), you hit the wall with back of the car.

Been there, done that.

Answer 3

Sorry about before. If you still want the answer, Graham said his car was pushing like a PIG.

I think Graham might have had a little oversteer because his back end came around and hit the wall.

The wing configurations of the nose and back wing and weight jackers in the car can effect the under/oversteer.

OVERSTEER: Also referred to as "loose." Describes a condition in which the rear of the car is unstable due to a lack of aerodynamic downforce or mechanical grip. Oversteer may be caused by a lack of rear downforce, too much front downforce or insufficient rear grip.

UNDERSTEER: Also referred to

as "push" or "tight." Describes a condition in which the car does not want to turn in the corners due to a lack of aerodynamic downforce or mechanical grip. Understeer may be caused by a lack of front downforce, too much rear downforce or insufficient front grip.
