Basic Course in Race Car Technology: Introduction to the Interaction of Tires, Chassis, Aerodynamics, Differential Locks and Frame

Description

The focus of the book is on the driving dynamics of racing vehicles. The interaction of the tyre, the aerodynamics, of the chassis and the limited slip differential specific to racing vehicles is dealt with. A chapter on the basics of vehicle dynamics makes it possible to get started with this topic even without prior automotive engineering training. A historical review and a consideration of the essential safety aspects create an understanding of higher-level requirements, which are specified, for example, by the technical regulations.

Contents

History of motorsport.- Technical regulations.- Racing tyres.- Fundamentals of driving dynamics.- Aerodynamics.- Chassis.- Differential locks.- Concept and structure.- Safety in motorsport.- Examples and solutions.
