Track front and rear
Hi all,
I previously asked some questions regarding my rear suspension design, I'm now looking at starting the final detail design of the front end
suspension now that the rear is almost completed.
Question is:
Should my front end be slightly wider, the same or narrower than my rear?
I have seen quite a few varying layouts and as the previous thread states track does not really effect handling as much as other factors. But I still
need to decide, so any ideas?
My rear is now set at around 1470mm.
Regards, Rob

Ideally you'd want equal track but 99% of us won't notice a couple of inches less at the front......
....except....if you try to place the front wheel on the perfect apex the rear will clout the kerb

Since your mid rear engine . I expect you'll need a wider rear track
