Hi Everybody,
I am currently working with a production based road race car with SLA suspension front and rear. Class rules do not allow the suspension pickup points to be moved, and so the geometry is a mess.
The rear is fine, with the roll center at about 2.25" and very little movement...
Manufacturers of synthetic fluids all claim that friction is reduced to the degree that drivetrain losses are reduced, and a power increase can be realized at the wheels.
Is this simply marketing BS? Have any of the auto manufacturers done testing to validate this?

Anyone here like to discuss their approach to damper setup for non/low downforce racing cars?
This is something no-one ever wants to talk about because they either haven't a clue, or they feel they have an advantage, and do not want to give it away.
I propose that discussion amongst race...
