Grip model update

I'm not a pro driver. I'm not a pro engineer. I'm not an alien sim racer.

But I do get around the track pretty decently, and I dedicate my time and resources to sim racing (ACC for now) a lot to help beginners, and I reckon that I'm doing a fairly good job at it.

Moving forward with this grip model that I'm working on, I will always try to keep the explanation simple. We don't need complicated, advanced, multiple angles, perspectives, and impossible-to-understand physics to get across a point.

That's how we lose clarity and get lost, but most importantly, lose interest in the subject.

I will try to explain the sim and this grip model to the best of my abilities and will defend my points to the bone. But when I am absolutely wrong about something, I will admit it and change it up. For me, it is kind of a growth model at the same time.

Now, Niels Heusinkveld commented on this model on YouTube. He said I was wrong about the physics basics, which is somewhat painful, but that doesn't mean the model is flawed.

It means that I could have explained it differently. Most of this box explanation has to do with airflow instead of just ‘weight’, and he said that weight is always finding its corners regardless of the bump ranges and spring rates.

You also have the problem of picking words that will have different meanings for different situations and persons, so there is that to explore as well.

Moving forward.

In the coming weeks, I will design a video where I will get into anti-roll bars and dampers to further investigate this grip model and its components. I hope more professional people will start commenting on this model so we can shape it to be one of the most accurate tuning models ever created.. publicly.

All the solutions I provide in the model thus far fix the car issues guaranteed. The explanation will change over time.

What do you think about the model?

Every opinion counts, and I read ALL the comments.
