Thanks for that link Simon. Quite helpful.
Just heard an F1 driver radio into the pits that the car was understeering and I thought, is it corner entry or exit, or mid corner, tell your engineer something.
Yeah I agree about it being the sum of the moments and not merely lateral force. I was just keeping it simple with a longitudinally centered (about the WB) CG.
What if you have different tires...
I dont think you have a clear deffinition of understeer.
My simple deffinition of understeer- The front of the car has less maximum grip avaiable than the rear.
Note this has nothing to do...
WOW!
and thats why I dont come here anymore...

I just bought two of these. They will be here in the next week. I can let you know how it goes....
All of the test were run at 30 mph using the truck's speedometer. We weren't about to make some fancy controller to make sure the truck went exactly 30. Speed "probably" has little effect on the...
Good questions.
Keep in mind that this project needed to be simple to build and cheap. I believe we could have spent about 200$ provided by our department. Even though I am excited about gathering...

not to be stingy, but i worked hard on these and i think all of you should too. It builds your skills. Thats the whole point...
and oil ring tension can be reduced resulting in less friction.
Applying a vaccum to the crankcase may also help dearrirate (get rid of bubbles in) the oil. This will cause the oil to spend less...
And a result would be that less oil will make its way into the combustion chamber. Oil lowers the fuels octane rating. This lets you run slightly higher compression assuming some oil was making its...

I filmed (vhsc) the cts going around the track. Not sure why though the formula cars are a lot more fun to watch.

2 judges? Is the MOTEC guy a design judge?
Hey WWU. Why do you want goodyear 10" tires so bad. Seems like Hoosier is the brand of choice in 13's. The 10's have the same compounds as the 13's right?
you mean they have air bubbles in the fluid http://fsae.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif
