Critical Specifications For Balance
Chassis, mass, and aerodynamic interactions affecting steady-state balance, and the purpose of anti-roll bars.
Hot Braking Topics
Different processes for calculating and measuring brake temperatures for pad selection.
Differential Effects On Vehicle Dynamics
Definitions of limited slip differential types and performance, focusing on yaw moments due to combined cornering and acceleration or braking.
Video: Utilizing Vehicle Dynamic Testing For Design
Skidpad testing, understeer gradient, handling and driver feedback, simulation with tire force and moment data.
Introduction To Brake System Criteria
A highly optimized brake system properly managed by the driver allows longer wide-open throttle times, shorter brake zones, and higher average cornering speeds. This is how we reduce lap times.
Lithium-Ion Thermal Runaway
State of charge, cooling, and water-based extinguisher information to minimize the chances of battery pack overheating, fire, or explosion.
