I am picking up this "old tread" again since I have made up an counter in excel
to calculate the influence of front and rear track width relations. The formula is backed up with a physical experiment with a "car model".
Now, if we think of a car with 2,5 meter wheelbase, 1,6 m front and rear track
cornering at 0,5g steady state. No acc or retardation forces present.
Cornerweight is Lf 175, Rf 325, Lr 275, Rr 425kg.
If we rise the frot track to 1,6m (4") we will get Lf 175, Rf 325, Lr 280, Rr 420 kg.
As we can see there is no change in front wheel loads, but a more even rear tire load, representing the whole reduction in weight transfer from the increase in average Tw.
I can put in any number of Tw,Wb,Weight front to rear axle, CGH, Acc and brake forces in G, even a 3 wheeler, If anyone is interested.
