we are having problems with the racing tire we HAVE to use because it slips sideways (deforms excesively)in turns. Anybody figured out a way to make it more rigid? with the same wheel
Together with a couple of coleagues, (racecar builders), we have a discusion on what is the ideal position and movement of roll centers. the type of car is a rear wheel drive touring car with front engine, solid axle,1300 kg 50/50 distribution, with 2.74 mts wheelbase, 1.65 mts track. we would...
A few days ago i had a discussion with another constructor who says that for EVERY racecar there is a relationship between steering angle and wheels, which is the same for every car. I never heard such thing. Is this true?
thank you all for your answers, we have most experience in touring cars, both, FWD and RWD. V8, V6, 4 cyl, etc all in S AMERICA-. we won the championship last year with JOSE MARIA LOPEZ. and we are beginning with formula, at the moment we race with tubular structure cars, but we wish to develop...
We are in a process of creating a shop for race cars development and testing, we think of having the following tools:
A 3D scanning device to have a model of the car
A flow analysis/virtual wind tunnel
A post processing software to analize aero changes
A FEA software for structural analysis
A...
I´ve been working on a new front suspension for our 1250 kg, rear wheel drive, 350 hp, no power steering race car, and found out that the weight transfer on cornering is great when i use negative caster. But this produces a great deal of instability due to the caster trail that results, and also...
thank you greg
following your advise, i kept working and i changed from 4 links and a mumford to 3 links and a mumford. now i have 0 compliance error, and i have 50% static anti squat, and 1.5 mm of toe-in with 2.5 degrees of roll because we look for roll understeer. does that sound OK?
i am designing a rear suspension on a race car, but if i get the anti squat i want and other parameters i think will be helpful, i get a couple of milimiters of link error (compliance). i would like to know if anybody has some experience in using rubber or anyother elastic bushing instead of rod...
