There is amazing variability in human bodies. Generally, vehicles are designed to reach from the 5th to 95th percentile, including any gender differences. But determining the measurements to use is complicated. Different countries or regions may have different ranges, and the gene interactions for any individual result in many different percentiles depending on the measurement.

The very best drivers can go up to but not over the maximum lateral capability during braking and corner entry. As they smoothly come off the brakes, the lateral limit increases due to both the friction circle, and more balanced loads front/rear.

How robust do driver controls really need to be? Never underestimate the strength of a scared driver.

Crash safety considerations beyond the frame and impact attenuator.

Defining requirements, validating models, on-car tuning, and understanding the root cause of problems. The process of developing and troubleshooting a steering system.

Different processes for calculating and measuring brake temperatures for pad selection.

Skidpad testing, understeer gradient, handling and driver feedback, simulation with tire force and moment data.

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.
