Race Car Vehicle Dynamics Cornering Force Slip Angle

Race Car Vehicle Dynamics Cornering Force Slip Angle
Race Car Vehicle Dynamics - Basic Race Car Dynamics - Hands-On Tech Guide
Illustration 4: This graph shows that maximum cornering force occurs when all of the tires operate at 8 degrees of slip angle in a turn. Any greater or smaller slip angle means the car is not going around the corner at the maximum speed. Very high cornering force is available from 7 to 9 degrees. The driver at 9 degrees is going the same speed as the driver at 7 degrees, but will overheat the tires sooner. Cornering force will deteriorate sooner for the driver at 9 degrees. View Related Article
