Motor Vehicle Performance – Cornering Speed and Gearing - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Most motor vehicle performance books are difficult to read, use jargon and waffle on subjects that are not useful to the reader. The book aims to give the reader knowledge around race and road vehicle cornering speed (velocity), acceleration down a straight and the gear ratios decided based off these requirements for a Praga R1T. The reader is given useful information and a deep understand behind cornering velocity and choosing the correct gear ratios for the specific application. Subjects explored include cornering speed, corner exit acceleration, gear ratio decisions, the effect of the coefficient of drag, the effect of the coefficient of lift, the effect of the weight distribution, the effect of wet conditions, cumulative distance, saw tooth charts and Matrix Laboratory (MATLAB), including all calculations/equations and workings for cornering speed and corner exit acceleration. Containing useful references for more background reading if desired, this book is your one stop shop on covering motor vehicle corner speed and gearing!
