In this chapter the non-linear character of the Coefficient of Friction is explained, and how the anti-roll bar is making use of that. Also it is explained how to manage tyres in terms of their pressure, humidity and temperature, and the interaction between these dimensions. A method is given for measuring and calculating the Traction Circle. The tyres are one of the most decisive factors for the characteristics of a racing car in terms of both longitudinal and lateral dynamics. They determine tractionTraction and braking performance as well as achievable corneringCornering speeds and, ultimately, have the greatest influence of all components on the most important criterion: lap time. For this reason, understanding the tyreTyre characteristics, which together make up the “grip” factor, is an important prerequisite for interpreting vehicle behaviour in the five phases of cornering (see Chap. 2). As a rule, both longitudinal and lateral forcesLateral force always occur in a racing car in every driving situation.
