meb should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Pneumatic trail vs mechanical trail

My assumption is that mechanical trail is nothing more than the caster measurement on the ground plane to the center of the tire's contact patch in side view. And, that pneumatic trail is the character of tire deformation due to a given machanical trail? Is this correct? I'm trying to decided upon an optimal caster setting for my car...the fanny dyno isn't always the best method
