Here's a neat site I found while looking around so I thought I would share

Looks like a great link! Thanks for sharing!

 

It's an awesome link. I remember reading the first twelve parts years ago in high school, it's about time he picked up were he left off. I'm printing as we speak!

 

Glad you all like I just started reading Carrol Smith's Drive to Win so I don't have time for this "yet"

 

It's a very good series. Not to be confused with the Psychics of Racing

 

AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

My brain ... it's going to explode. Too many derivations .... ugh. I felt like I was in diffy screw all over again (Differential Equations - higher level math course, for you non-engineering types). Information overload ....

I'll stick with calculating wheel rate and the expertise of people who are faster than me.

 

Forget all that math. "finding the line is an art form", quote from the end of a part which analyzed proper line position TO THE MAX. He could not make a conclusive answer.

 

i would say its a combination. the physics can get you pretty close, but the final minute adjustments are by feel.

it's fun to understand the physics anyways.

 

cool! now I have something to read during the term break. lol!
