Getting off the line..Tractions

[bango]

Thought Ill post this here too,Iv allways wonder what improvement have been done to improve Tractions to aid getting off the line,Have a look here..

Good study(could be better)Im sure there's more to this..

What size/brand/age tyres do you have?

LSD?

 

[bango]

I willbe using Yokohama 335/35/17 at the rears,245/40/17 front...Torana SS Hatchback..

LSD, coilovers, and fat rear tires will always do wonders for traction...

I can't view the video here so I can't comment on anything in regards to that.
Are the Yokohama's Bogan spec tyres? or are they high performance spec tyres?

17's are the easiest things to launch on, as they have very little sidewall flex, but the 335 will surely help.

After that it will come down to driver technique and suspension setup.

If you have loads of power weight transfer, slicks, lowered back end, etc.. but that is getting Lextreme...

 

[verylost]

Friction Force = friction coefficient X Force normal.

simple equation to increase traction

 

[jibbby]

Two soft rubber slicks sticking to ground while the front end of car lifts off the ground at take off = traction in my book

But what makes the rubber slicks stick you may ask? Well boys and girls rear end weight forcing down on the rear tires..In addition to weight the dampening force also is vital and helps keep the tires down on the ground...Dampening is the same as soft suspension. The soft suspension absorbs the wheel hop, bounces, skips, and inperfections of the road so the tires don't have too...The rubber needs to remain on the ground in other words too achieve maximum traction.... There is not much more to it then that.....AWD with Detroit lockers can't hurt either for traction.....:approve:

That is my equation...

Once was a dude called Jim Hall,he came out in the then "CanAM" series for unlimited sportcar style racing,very interesting it is his "box car".I will try to find a link,to cut to the chase,he had some sort of vacuum device sucking the boxcar to the road.They ended up banning him for reasons given as too unfair an advantage..lolSo he had some idea back then in the 60's..Im thinging along those line now...hmm

I think there was something like that back in F1 a long time ago, of course they were quick to ban it.
