Mcp138 should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Hey, thanks for the quick replies guys. I am using the data from the car, taken from the suspension potentiometers, then reducing the frequency of the readings to try and minimize any bump/rebound effects. Firstly I am trying to concentrate on looking at the effects in a straight line and then by calculating roll angles, I would like to try and work out the cornering effects.
I’m not too savvy with aero, but trying to grasp an understanding to its effects to the balance of the car. From your figures Locost it looks like im getting respectable results at the moment.
Like i mentioned Im also trying to figure out roll angles for the maximum lateral accelerations of the car. Im getting max lateral forces of around 1.8-2g at the extremes and getting roll angles of around 10 degrees. I figure this may be too much roll. What do you guys think ?
