Goran Malmberg should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
I see that phoenix allready has come up with a good answer.
Point 7.
For an average racecar raising the Rc an inch for one axle could make some 20p more Wt for that axle. According to my own simplified equation just ot get a finger & thumb figure.
It would be nice with a simple calculation formula, but it isnt that simple. Or, to put it another way, it depends of how exact one want the outcome to be.
The geometric Wt is dependent on the tan of the forcelines, and the left and right Fl is going to alter in different directions during roll. The outside Fl will give + and inside - jacking effect, (moost of the times). Futher more, it is load (tire grip) dependent. While the roll is a direct function of Wt, like taking 100kg of one side of the car and putting it on the other side. The roll pattern will look like a sume of the two.
