Cheat Sheet
- Suspension Geometry and Vehicle Handling - Ever wondered why your car hugs the road as if it has superpowers? Suspension geometry - think camber, caster, and toe angles - tweaks how each tire meets the asphalt, giving you sharper turns and more confident steering. Tune these angles right, and you'll carve corners like a pro. MIT OpenCourseWare: Race Car Vehicle Dynamics
- Engine Performance Metrics - Want to know what makes your engine roar with excitement? Horsepower, torque, and specific fuel consumption break down exactly how hard your engine can work and how efficiently it gulps fuel. Understanding these numbers helps you pick the perfect setup for speed, endurance, or a thrilling combo of both. MIT OpenCourseWare: Marine Power and Propulsion
- Brake Systems and Thermal Management - Nothing cools your jets like a brake system that overheats mid-race! Learn how calipers, rotors, and pads work together - and why ventilated discs and heat-resistant materials are your best friends when the temperature spikes. Master thermal tricks to keep those brakes biting hard at every stop. MIT OpenCourseWare: Tribology
- Aerodynamics for Downforce and Drag - Feel the breeze? That's your car slicing through air - or being glued to the track by clever spoilers and diffusers. Dive into the physics of airflow to boost downforce without sacrificing speed, so you can blaze past opponents while staying firmly planted. MIT OpenCourseWare: Aerodynamics
- Transmission Layouts and Gear Ratios - Front-engine, rear-wheel drive, dual-clutch - choices, choices! Add in gear ratios, and you've got a puzzle that decides your launch speed and top-end velocity. Crack the code to balance punchy acceleration with smooth cruising, and you'll hit every straight and turn just right. MIT OpenCourseWare: Marine Power and Propulsion
- Pit Stop Procedures and Mechanical Checks - A split-second pit stop can make or break your race day. From lightning-fast tire swaps to refueling and fluid checks, this study shows how to streamline every move while keeping your ride safe and ready to roar back onto the track.
