Hi Ali,

Thanks for the comment. If you are setting a car up for a right handed circuit you would set the static mass to be heavier on the right hand side of the car.

To calculate how much heavier you would need to set the car statically you will need your average speed on the circuit, the average cornering radius and the track width of your car. With these parameters you can calculate the average Lateral Load Transfer across the axles and you will be able to convert this load into kilograms. Simply move this load statically to the right hand side of the car and the car will become 50/50 distributed side to side on average when on circuit.

Thanks

Thanks for posting. One item that I am interested in is setting up a race car for a specific circuit. For example, if the circuit is mostly left handers, how do you alter the cross weights for a FWD or RWD car.
