A Flashback for The Legend - Plymouth Furys
General
JM and PK, The fastest way around a track is found and affected by speed,lateral acceleration and weight transfer. Lateral acceleration is the sideways force you generate in the turn. It basically is the max amount of cornering force a car will produce. Lateral acceleration is related to centrifugal forces or "G" force. The difference is one is measured in G force and the other is measured in actual pounds of force. L. acceleration is dependent on velocity and the turn radius.the formula to find L.acceleration is velocity squared in feet per second divided by the radius of the turn(expressed in feet)
When you determine the lateral acceleration for your particular set up you can then calculate the actual pounds of weight transferring from the inside wheels to the outside wheels and maximum cornering can be calculated for any particular track turns.This will give you the fastest time around that track. If this doesnt work then take the driver outta the car and put Ruby in.......
