    I agree with most of your points. Universities can learn a lot about thier car by putting a quality driver in it. However, even though SCCA is amature, there are a lot of quality drivers who have...

    I don't understand this. If you look at the top 10 cars from each competition, they are all pretty well engineered. If you look at GFR, they not only win design but dominate the whole competition. ...

    Interesting topic.

    I remember the steering on our older cars to be really light. Maybe it was because I sucked at driving. It might be because of the 13" tires.

    However, between switching...

    Z,

    Nice overview. Have you ever driven a shifter kart? At least on the ones I have driven, statically the caster causes quite a bit of aligning torque. Granted, they have lots of caster and...

    Like he mentioned, in a hairpin the inside might need to be steered 45deg and the outside 30deg. With parallel steer, they get steered the same. If the outside tire has 6 deg of slip, then the...

    Even if the heavier loaded outside tire desired more slip angle than the lower loaded inside tire, it does not mean the tires would be toe-in when steered. I consider 100% ackerman...
