Start / Calculations / Performance Calculations / Cornering 2
Cornering 2 determines cornering performance based on these inputs:
Corner radius of the vehicle (not the track)
Roll center height, rear
Track width, front
The lateral acceleration (cornering force) depends only on the speed of the vehicle and the turn radius and bank. All other calculated information requires the vehicle weight, CG height, and track width. Traction is used only to determine cornering capacity. This calculation assumes the vehicle is in a steady-state speed and steering angle. Cornering 1 requires fewer inputs but is less accurate.
