Noel Posted March 28, 2007 Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 I think you're blaming the poor car to much... at the end of the day it's the driver that caused this accident, he drove beyond the cars abilities in that particular situation..... speaking of contact patch... whats the chances that those tyres were in good condition?

Well actually no. The point here is to understand that the domestic design has a limit all wound up in the tyres contact patch... All the generative design factors are retained until the circumstances exceed saturation by human commands. Then the expression/results from the design under-steer the car deliberately. In most circumstances the activity withing the patch needs to be as small as possible allowing the tyre to control future commands when requested. This limits the saturation to a lower level.
