Suspension and handling of the car have always been of interest to me and BOSCH has a free program to help understand what the car is doing on the track. . The program is Lap-Sim. You do not need to spend big bucks on a sim program. This free one will give you more information than you will ever need to know. To start with there is a little bit of info that you will need to input to the simulation. This information can be found in factory manuals, thru testing, and your race notes.

I will be detaling how to measure drag and downforce with out expensive g-meters and tire testing in an upcomming article so you can get the most out of this software program.
