Lap simulation

Here are our CFD links and discussions about aerodynamics, suspension, driver safety and tyres. Please stick to F1 on this forum.

Not much, no :)

Suffice to say it's much easier to ask a tire model, "Can you exist in this vehicle condition?" than, "What are the slip angles at this condition?"

Thanks! :)

why don´t you do an online vehicle dynamics class (maybe with simulation stuff in it)? i would attend!

but maybe i got your point. I guess this is somehow connected to tire saturation. Still i think you have to iterate but you have a "long loop" less...you just need to fix ay and then see if with the vertical loads you get tire can produce the Fy you need...if you need less than tyre saturation is less than 1...

I don't think that would be prudent given that competitive advantage in that field is my livelihood...
