Episode 06 and we are joined by expert dynamicist Mike Law to talk about Ride & Vertical Dynamics.
The responses of the sprung and unsprung masses of a racecar to accelerative inputs from the driver and the track surface are super important parameters to control in the development of performance and so this is a particularly interesting element to understand.
Here, we discuss the influence of ride performance on dynamics, why it is important, and the approach to development used in modern motorsport. We also finish off with a short community Q&A session.
Enjoy!

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.
Many of the approaches to problems you hear in these episodes are communicated in the book, which you can find on Amazon at: www.amazon.co.....
All proceeds from the book go towards the Small Piece Trust.
