ABOUT
    Anyone who has driven too quickly into a tightening corner and found the car running wide will say they know all about understeer. just as anyone who has had cause to apply opposite-lock to correct a tail-slide will say they know all about oversteer. But do they?
Do they really know exactly what is happening at the four corners of their car, ancl more important, why it is happening? Do they understand why one cars cornering characteristics can be so different from another’s of seemingly similar design and therefore why they respond so differently to movements of the steering wheel and pedals?
This book, written by an engineer who has spent much of his working life testing and evaluating the performance of cars, sets out both to inform and to entertain. lts broadly based narrative will appeal not only to the serious student of automobile design and chassis performance, but equally to those who take a pride in their driving and gain pleasure from doing it well, but who wish to increase their technical awareness of precisely what is going on at the four corners of their car. So often, when'talking about car performance, terms such as handling, ride and roadholding, responsiveness, slip angles, tyre scrub, suspension geometry, centres of gravity and many others are misused.
This book explains in understandable language their true meaning and their inter-relationship.
The author also explains the constraints within which the chassis designer must work and discusses the relative merits and weaknesses of the many
solutions available for meeting the required standards.
The layout of major components, the choice of suspension linkages and springing media, steering mechanisms, tyres and wheels are all examined,
together with those subtle variations in chassis design which so often have a major effect on performance.
Benchmark cars are identilied which over the years have set new standards in design and performance, and the author concludes with a perceptive look into the future, anticipating the further development of such features as computer-controlled braking, steering and stability aids.
Here is a book which, in a most readable way, offers a better understanding of a car’s potential and its limitations whenever its suspension is put to the test.
