How much steering angle

LC: When Tanner was driving, how different is the new car versus the old car in terms of steering angle? The Nissan Z that Tanner drove had three types of steering geometry on it. The tC1 that Tanner drove had two different types of steering on it. This tC2 that Fredric is driving has had three different types of steering on it. Let me make a point though — if someone made a good steering and suspension setup that we could buy and put on the tC, I would love to do that.

The fact of the matter is, nobody does, so we have to build our own. I think right around was when it started to hit the US. I remember running it for the very first time at Irwindale in and it changed the way I could drive my car. Now there is a slight tweak in the way the steering actually pivots, changing the front geometry, and all of a sudden, people are able to drive with that angle all the time. I want more. I need that!

LC: One of the guys mentioned the battle you had with Conrad in Palm Beach and you poured on the angle to not hit him. Everyone thought you were going to spin or crash into him but you pulled it off. It was so revolutionary that people still remember that exact battle. Coming in behind him, I tossed the car and actually over-rotated, but picked up the throttle just at the right time. I picked up the throttle just at the right time where the forward bite of the car got it moving and the momentum back.

Post Wed Oct 26, am Hello Everyone, I need to find the maximum steering angle of an F1 car's front wheels, in order to determine the minimum curve radius the car can negotiate.

I've wasted nearly a day of futile Googleing and found nothing useful. Initially the issue is simplified to a "quasi-static" low speed turn with no consideration for slip angles et c, just depending on the car's long axis and front wheel steering angle. Ocular assessment of stills and race footage gives me an initial "guesstimate" of degrees, and I assume the actual steering angle lock is adjustable, to some extent, within the raw design limits. One source of ocular assessment: marcush.

Re: Steering angle and turning radius. Post Wed Oct 26, am What do you want these values for? There are a lot of ways to estimate them but your application will determine how much accuracy is required.

In such cases, using steering wheel is pretty much a disadvantage unless degree of rotation is low. Originally posted by Roscoe :. Meszes View Profile View Posts. Cyroch View Profile View Posts. If you want maximum authenticity, I suggest going with degress and softlock on. That sets the wheel to the appropriate DoR per car. I run it that way, just because it feels most satisfying to me. If you want to set the best times and hit the leaderboards, just set it to whatever works best for you. In any case, there is no cheating involved one way or the other.
