Estimated duration: 60 minutes

Module Overview

How tires generate lateral and longitudinal force, the physical origins of the friction ellipse, and why the grip budget is the central constraint in every corner.

Lessons

• Build a pure-slip tire force curve with Pacejka parameters - 55 minutes
• Balance combined slip inside the grip budget - 60 minutes
• Budget grip for load-sensitive tires - 55 minutes
• Exploit camber thrust and self-aligning torque - 45 minutes
