Car Racing



The Physics of Car Racing

Watching a car race sure doesn't seem like a science experiment, but
after reading the pages at this site, you won't be so sure. Here are
articles covering all the physics of a car racing around the circuit.
Centrifugal force, racing line, weight transfer, braking, and more -
everything is considered from the physical laws that come into play.
The articles are technical, with a healthy amount of math. But, even
if those of us whose math is a little shaky skip those parts, the
content remains a pleasant and instructive read. So, what are you
waiting for? Gentlemen and ladies, start your engines!
