  • The Contact Patch

    From Alan@24:150/2 to rec.autos.sport.f1 on Fri Jan 28 11:48:50 2022
    In my wandering around the internet, I was looking for information about
    (on this particular occasion) how much the center of pressure of the
    tire's contact patch moved laterally while cornering...

    ...when I came across this site:

    <https://the-contact-patch.com/>

    The author is an "Emeritus Professor of Transport Management" with an
    original degree in civil engineering, but he clearly has a deep interest
    and understanding about the vehicle dynamics of cars (and trains, and
    ships, and aircraft).

    In general, for a geeky gearhead, a really good read.
