| Hi, Finally got some data. Ran a few simple tests, in the first half of the graph you can see that I spent a minute driving in a figure of 8, you can see the G Force in the red line transfering from one side of the car to the other as I exit one loop and start the other opposite loop. In the second half of the graph you can see that I ran some acceleration and braking tests, this is plotted in the pink line, acceleration is above the line and braking below the line, acceleration is about 1 G, braking is about 1.5 G, lateral forces represented by the red line in the figure of 8 loops are getting close to 2G.  Will put more data up on my blog when I have some longer runs and tried a few different set ups with tyres and adding weight. Duane. |

| Hi,
Put some G-Force plots up here -

These plots are using worn out yeah racing tyres, I have some new ones using M-Grips on the front and will get some comparison plots with sweeps tomorrow.
