Combating oversteer \ understeer help. ALL SERIOUS DRIVERS READ THIS!!

I have been meaning to put these up for a while.

These are two decision trees from Allan Staniforth competition car suspension book. Although expensive it is one of the best books I have ever read on car design and set up. An amazing book and if these two pages are your kind of thing then GO BUY IT. These two pages are a good guide of the value and expertise in this book. No BS, no he said she said, it makes you understand your car better and therefore tune its handling and drive it faster. A source of knowledge I look at several times a year after track days to decide what to do next to the car.

PS. If any of you think this is a bit close to the line legally then tell me and I will take it down. In my eyes I see this as great publicity for the book and is two pages from hundreds containing pics, diagrams, calculations and raw data. However I am no lawyer.





Track days ARE the best thing since sliced bread, until I get a supercharger that is!

Just found this so I wouldn't worry about copy right,

http://thebargeots.free.fr/documents/Competition_Car_Suspension.pdf

To be fair I would buy the book but not for £270

Wow!
1 - I had heard it had gone up in price, not 270 quid though. I got that and chassis engineering by ADAMS as a secret santa present from a friend.
2 - that PDF is the one. I cant believe its on the net for free like that. Crazy.
