Centre of Gravity of Race Car

Hi Everyone,

Out of interest, has anyone ever come across any equations (that include unsprung mass, unequal track width, different wheel diameter) used to calculate centre of gravity of a race car. There must be something out there on this. So far all the equations I have found are based on simple models for a "rigid" car.

I would like to put together a little excel sheet where I can punch in a few things like vehicle weight measured at individual corners, (=total weight), tilt angle of car, wheelbase, track width, mass of unsprung weight per corner, wheel dimensions etc and have it calculate the Centre of Gravity.

Any help on this topic?
