In auto racing, the racing setup or car setup is the set of adjustments made to the vehicle in order to optimize its behaviour (performance, handling, reliability, etc.). Adjustments can occur in suspensions, brakes, transmission , and many others.
| Component | Reduce Under-steer | Reduce Over-steer |
|---|---|---|
| Weight distribution | center of gravity towards rear | center of gravity towards front |
| Front shock absorber | softer | stiffer |
| Rear shock absorber | stiffer | softer |
| Front sway bar | softer | stiffer |
| Rear sway bar | stiffer | softer |
| Front tire selection 1 | larger contact area² | smaller contact area |
| Rear tire selection | smaller contact area | larger contact area² |
| Front wheel rim width or diameter | larger² | smaller |
| Rear wheel rim width or diameter | smaller | larger² |
| Front tire pressure | higher pressure | lower pressure |
| Rear tire pressure | lower pressure | higher pressure |
| Front wheel camber | increase negative camber | reduce negative camber |
| Rear wheel camber | reduce negative camber | increase negative camber |
| Rear spoiler | smaller | larger |
| Front height (because these usually affect camber and roll resistance) |
lower front end | raise front end |
| Rear height | raise rear end | lower rear end |
| Front toe in | decrease | increase |
| Rear toe in | decrease | increase |
1) Tire contact area can be increased by using wider tires, or tires with fewer grooves in the tread pattern. Of course fewer grooves has the opposite effect in wet weather or other poor road conditions. 2) These also improve road holding, under most conditions. |

It was confirmed that from 2010, refuelling during a race will be forbidden in order to save the costs of transporting refuelling equipment and increase the incentive for engine builders to improve fuel economy (to save weight).
