Track width to wheel base ratio... how much does this affects the vehicle dynamics??
Track width to wheelbase ratio affects vehicle dynamics so much that it can turn the car into a motorcycle.
Or a Segway!Quote:

now if we could make a motorcycle segway....like a motorized unicycle...we might be onto something.

Of course I googled that, by the way: http://solowheel.com/

FTFY again.

Yeah, but..., the OP is asking about "track width to wheelbase ratio"....
I keep entering "0/0" and all I get is an error message... http://fsae.com/groupee_common/emoti...n_confused.gif

(PS. SRI, Forget about the ratio. For FSAE you want close to minimum for both numbers (Min WB = 1525mm from rules, Min track = so car does NOT fall off tilt table.
PPS. I want one of those ^ ! http://fsae.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif)
Although incorrect, let's ponder the implications of using the contact patch of the single wheel for the track width and wheelbase...
I see your unicycle with fairings, and raise you the riot wheel:

Ah, Owen!
That was the picture I was looking for but couldn't remember the name of it!
