Stability in a WR-car

Post by RaZias »

I want on this topic only to talk about stability in WRC

If someone looks to a dragster it will see that its stability comes from its radical lenght.

So I think its a good idea to a WRC to have a radical lenght and not the lenght enough to put the bottles aligned.

Does anyone had good resultes about the vertical fins ?

And about using four wheels in the front and four in the back ? (I know it´s crazy...)

to stabilise my car i use two things, a horisontal wing to create downforce to keep the wheels on the bround (very helpfull :D ) i also put suspentions on the front wheels to avoid the car bouncing up and down due to a rugged surface. i hope this helps.
