Tyres and Kinematics

What makes the tire job special?

• The tires are the only connection between the vehicle and the racetrack

• Tire selection and analysis are very important for the overall performance of the vehicle

• The tire model is the basis for the vehicle dynamics simulation

What makes the task of kinematics special?

• The vehicle kinematics are designed based on the tire, the resulting driving dynamics simulation and the packaging of the components

• Is heavily dependent on the overall vehicle concept

• Influences driving behavior and vehicle feedback

• A lot of interface work takes place during the kinematics design
