silente should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
yes, the curve of the dampers i use is almost linear for the first part (the low velocity zone). Then it decreased its slope in the zone of the high speeds.

What i'd like to know is if anybody knows the way to adjust the dampers curve on the base of the critical damping and of the damping ratio.If you use this way you should be able to reproduce the right conditions also when motion ratios, masses, and spring rates are changed. Something like the adimensional numbers of the aerodynamics (Reynolds, etc)

I think this is the only "scientifc" way to prepare the "right" damper before to go on the track.

Then on the track you will adjust it using data logging..But in this way you should be able to chose the right window.

Anyone knows how to use this methods and some values for damping ratio?
