Re: Sepang T7T8 Sector And Tradeoff Logic Kuvesh, as Pdreams alluded to earlier, all real life lines are imperfect (especially at entry and exit..the more transient the less perfect) and nearly all the time they vary in radius - reducing on increasing in different phases of a single turn...

Re: Sepang T7T8 Sector And Tradeoff Logic Pdreams, to see where it goes all you have to do is answer the remaining 3 questions and show your working for all 4 questions. The only non SI unit is not an obstacle because only one conversion is necessary. Need to go to numbers and not...

Re: Sepang T7T8 Sector And Tradeoff Logic Even a basic calculator would get one within a decimal or two of answer and certainly no measurement off the monitor is needed. All required information has been provided. Don't worry, sooner or later someone will be along with answers and we can...

Re: Sepang T7T8 Sector And Tradeoff Logic Using any basic calculator your answers would definitely be closer in than 10%. Don't worry, sooner or later someone will be along with answers, even if it takes a year. Cheers mate

Re: Sepang T7T8 Sector And Tradeoff Logic Hi Pdreams, thanks for the effort mate. If you are at a computer, there's MS Excel, MS calculator, and if you have your cellphone nearby, there's a calculator in it. Do try to use a calculator and the numbers provided to get closer than +/- 10% ...

The images below are geometrically accurate. Track boundary has had offsets applied to narrow width by 1.8m (typical road car width), so driven line radii are accurate. No answers are given below, just an illustration of the multiple tradeoffs within a relatively simple 2 turn sector. It...

Re: Woot! Thanks Ascendant Motorsport! Big congratulations on your new 2:36.40 first time ever running semis. This is a tenth or two quicker than GT car SS class leaders Shedden (TechArt Cayman S) and Adam (M3 CSL) at the latest ZTH TA which was completely dry. But of course it's only...

Re: New NSX ? Running inverted like you describe, will only work in sections of track that allow a high enough speed. Aero forces increase as a square of speed, so if the car makes 4000 lbf of downforce at 300 km/h, it'll make only 1000 lbf at 150 km/h (not enough to run a 2500 lb car...

Re: New NSX ? No. There have been Daytona Prototype and other prototype based cars entered in the series. Even the production based cars are shells at best. Everything fore and aft of the driver is carbon structure. Some cars only retain the road car roof pieces and A and B pillars...

Re: Help on adjustable shocks.. Yes, that is the likelyhood. However spring rates and damper valving play as big a part (or bigger) as damper travel when it comes to comfort so there are no hard rules. Also, it's not just about total travel, but where in the stroke the damper sits when the...

Re: Help on adjustable shocks.. Adjusting via B alone, will maintain existing damper travel and spring preload settings, while changing the ride height. Adjusting via A alone, or along with B, will lower the car at the expense of damper travel. If the springs had any preload before this...

Re: Sepang Videos E46 and E92 M3 Thanks and you're welcome nono, actually that lap was the driver's exploratory first hotlap ever in an E92 of any kind, with DSC full on and cutting in all over the place for nothing. More recently same driver same car, again with passenger, and went 41.1...

Re: Sepang Videos E46 and E92 M3 Hi Nono, Looking at the data collected, the last downshift to 2nd gear can be seen as a short interruption to the standard gradient change to the longitudinal G trace, this matches up with the reference point of turn-in in the video where the lateral G starts...

Re: What is torque in relation to car power? Wheel torque gives you thrust to get moving and there are different ways to arrive at high wheel torque across a sufficiently wide speed range. Must differentiate between engine torque and wheel torque. Not really. Depending on the type of...

Re: Sepang Videos E46 and E92 M3 Attached is a plot of some lame braking. ie not trusting entirely, the brakes on 1.7 tons of mass powered by 420 hp, hence first lap just 85% of braking potential. That Gallardo T14 horror story... So anyway second lap I got on it a little more (closer to...

Re: Sepang Videos E46 and E92 M3 No, gave logger the finger, cos the sector time sucked :)
