Leave them, buddy. They live in an alternative world.
I don't know what kind of cars they are working with, but those are far from real on-road racing.
Patprimmer:
This technique helps only in the turn-in phase, or when taking chicanes. Yes it's a transient only, but it is not rare that the car pushes on turn-in, while it has enough steering in mid-corner and out of turn phases.
GregLocock:
Are You working on passanger cars?
Racecars are designed to do fast laps not to keep alive panicked amateurs. :)
Serious: power-oversteer is one factor. weight transfer caused understeer is another one factor. and there are several other factors as well. The car's behaviour will be...
Fabrico:
That's why the unicycle has to lean inside. The vectorial sum force of the unicycle's weight and lateral force has to be inline with the line connecting the ground contact point with CG. In other words, the horizontal force keeps the unicycle in the leaning angle - otherwise it would...
Ridiculous. No one has driven a real racecar?
Then try thinking and learning at least the basic theoretics how a racecar behaves.
E.g. It is a well-known racing driving technique to increase front traction just by kicking the brakes before turning in. The car doesn't really loose speed, but the...
Of course, there are a lot of other factors that affect (or even completely change) the car's balance, such as brake balance, type of transmission, engine power, etc.
But generally it is true, that a longitudinal weight transfer from front to rear causes major reduce in front traction, while...
Two more thoughts on this:
1. Longitudinal weight transfer can be divided into two categories: let's call them "transient" and "consolidated" weight transfer.
The transient phase occurs when applying throttle or hitting brakes. In this phase it is possible that overall downforce on wheels...
- I race 1/5 scale radio controlled racecars. The cars have 535mm wheelbase, 395 mm track width, minimum weight of 10 kgs, 23ccm two-stroke engines around 6hp. These cars are serious racing machines with Carbon monocoque chassis, pushrod suspension, all structural parts from carbon or T7075...
