Vehicle Setup and Vehicle Design | Q&A Series – Ep. 2
Continuing our series of questions and answers with Bruno Finco, today we will talk about Vehicle Setup and Vehicle Design, with questions sent by you! Let's not waste any time and dive into the questions! Why does toe-in on the rear increase stability? When you put...

Vehicle Setup and Kinematics | Q&A Series
In this comprehensive article, we dive into a series of questions regarding vehicle dynamics as applied to race cars that you send to us! To answer you, we created a series presented by Bruno Finco. We will explore each of these questions with a focus on providing...

FSAE Front Axle Optimization Using OptimumKinematics Optimization Module
Overview Camber plays a big role on vehicle balance and control. The inclination angle of the tires affect not only the maximum lateral grip but also the tire stiffness, which impacts on driver sensitivity, as well as tire wear and temperature. However, the suspension...

Tie Rod Optimization Using OptimumKinematics Optimization Module
Overview This case study shows how to find the tie rod inner and outer ball joints coordinates that provide the best compromise between Ackerman angle in steering, the steering ratio and a custom bump steer curve while still keeping the angle between the rods and the...

Motion Ratio Optimization Using OptimumKinematics Optimization Module
Overview This case study shows how to optimize the motion ratio values of a Push/Pull Rod system. The main objective is to achieve a targeted value of motion ratio for a heave motion by changing the rocker pickup points and the coil-over mount on the chassis. Imagine...
