As our engineering insights series returns, we are joined by Mike Law, a greatly experienced vehicle dynamicist working at the highest levels of motorsport,.
Sit with us over the next few episodes as we explore vehicle dynamics and dive in to some key concepts in developing performance in racing cars.
In the first episode, we set the scene by exploring the five key factors influencing performance:
- The Powertrain
- Weight
- The Driver
- Tyres
- Aerodynamics
Mike has a book published called "Ace Thinking" which takes the skills and experience he's gained developing race cars to create a framework for approaching tasks, engineering and otherwise. You can find this on Amazon at: www.amazon.co.uk/ACE-Thinking...
All proceeds from the book go towards the Small Piece Trust.
This episode is also available on Spotify and Apple under the title "Wavey Dynamics Insights"

The inertia to mass RATIO is the Key Performance Indicator because the tires must create moments for turning AND forces for side-slipping. These are the 2 components of lateral force. The best cars have this "radius of gyration' (the R in [Izz = M*R^2] specified. R - 1 less than zero is preferred and demands less from the tire carcass stiffnesses. Caster is used to move the peak steering torque provided by tire Mz to the peak Fy slip angle. It costs you some understeer, but removes the false peak grip signal in the steering wheel that the tire Mz supplies.

@@WaveyDynamicsNice to see you on the screen ! Really good subject. Nice interview style ! May I suggest asking team engineers how they manage 'testing' vs. 'racing'. Does it take a different driver to analyze the vehicle, so that the race driver's quirks don't interfere with the data collection ? How about the future of driverless cars ? Will it take a different setup and mass distribution to get the best finishes ? What are top level Key Performance Indicators other than Lap Time ? Show how "Smooth is Fast".

@@zzvyb6 Thanks! Plenty more videos coming over the next few weeks. Will make a note of your suggestions, i particularly like the KPI discussion point!

You guys are engineers and don't understand the 5252 factor on a dyno graph?!?! Google is your friend.
