Data Analysis, Vehicle Setup and Common Misconceptions | Q&A Series - Ep. 3

We received many interesting questions that you most likely have questioned yourself once. In our brand-new Q&A video, Bruno Finco will tackle all your questions with all his knowledge, since knowledge shared is knowledge squared, as we always say!

These are the questions covered in this video:
▶ Do stiffer springs decrease total lateral load transfer?
▶ How can you read a vehicle's behavior from the steering wheel angle profile?
▶ Why does adding ballast to the front of the car make it more understeer?
▶ Why is peak grip achieved when Mx (moment about the x-axis) equals 0?
▶ How do you evaluate the influence of damper settings on vehicle grip and stability?
▶ What's the best way to use the damping speed histogram to optimize a vehicle's on-track performance?
▶ Does changing the RH (Ride Height) of the car affect the balance, and is this due to weight distribution?
