Thanks for the welcome. I fully subscribe to the approach of working out what forces are present then going from there. I also agree that there is a lot of tosh written- I run a flow bench as part of my engine building and a lot of claims of other people/books/papers etc are exactly that- claims! An industrial background in fluid flow helps to quikly sort out those who are talking rubbish! However, a good start is to get an understanding- even if it is wrong as the best education will be to disprove this. The only way to learn is to make mistakes, but hopefully they're not costly Thanks chaps, Paul

Having built and tuned more engines than I can count, I'm being asked more and more about chassis tuning too. I touched on it a bit when I was at uni, but nothing really in depth. Does anyone have any good recommendations for books which cover the technical side of things like tyre choices, spring & damper rates etc etc. Ideally it would involve data loggers/accelerometers and how to use these to best advantage. Any top tips would be most welcome! Cheers, Paul
