Chassis dimensions

Post

I need some help regarding chassis dimensions as lenght, fron-rear track and wheelbase for rotational inertia simulation ( I use a 9 slab model) for 2006 season cars. I only have complete data for Honda and the rest is incomplete. I appreciate any help or if you have some HD pix that would help too. Thnx

You can find dimensions at http://www.fia.com under technical regualtions including tehcnical drawings.

Just one question Hungfan: how do you happen to have complete complete data for Honda? I do not think teams give them out so easily...

data regarding chassis and visible dimensions: hi -res pix and relative ratio comparison and maths make it easy to get very reliable data (would call it scientific approximation), good enough to work with, I just thought they are available and would save me some time and energy... but nope:)

What is a 9 slab model?

I am right now trying to simulate times for Catalunya assuming the car is a point ( :oops: ), any help will be appreciated... but I am just doing a simple dynamic simulation, using (please, don't laugh) Excel.
