High Lateral Tyre Load Tracks

Post

Hey guys,

I'm looking to minimise the effects of the tyre friction coefficient in equations.

Therefore i need to analyse a track that has high lateral loads on the tyres at most corners. Thus limiting the error caused by the tyre friction coefficient not being at a maximum for lower lat load corners.

I reckon Monza is the most suitable? Any other ideas? The race had to be on the 2010 F1 calendar

Thanks,
Alex

Monza is not a good option. Curva Grande isn't traction limited. You pretty much want to avoid any track with any full throttle corners.

Why don't you just throw out the non-traction limited corners from your analysis? It seems to me like it would be easier than finding a track with no full-throttle corners. I don't think any tracks from 2010 fully fit that. Maybe Bahrain, Silverstone or Hungary.

Please define high lateral loads.

Did you mean high Gs by merely mechanical grip or (even higher Gs) resulting from downforce?
