[QUOTE="E46Fanatic, post: 102748, member: 81"] Like I suspected.. there are no references available. As for non-internet based references, pick up this book - Speed Secrets - Professional Race Driving Techniques by Ross Bentley. First 5 chapters are dedicated to car dynamics and setup. Just a simple quote on page 44-46: [i]"You goal is to drive in a way to keep the weight of the car as equally distributed over all four tires as possible. In other words, balance the car... (on pg 44: balance describes the [b]cars weight is equally distributed on all four tires [/b]. When the car is balanced, you are maximizing the tires traction. The more traction the car has the more in control the car is and the faster you can drive around the track (btw he elaborates quite a bit on effects of weight transfers etc as well in this section of the book)"[/i] Debates and emotions aside, the book makes for great bedtime reading for enthusiasts like ourselves... highly recommended. Makes you wanna go attack the track after reading it :) [/QUOTE]
