An energy budget is needed to understand endurance. Energy efficiency is as important as mass, power, aero, mu. Spend energy as efficiently as possible to generate speed.

• Scatter Plots

• Everything Shows In Braking

Modeling tires and calculating how fast you can go around a corner is a bunch of 8th grade math.

The very best drivers can go up to but not over the maximum lateral capability during braking and corner entry. As they smoothly come off the brakes, the lateral limit increases due to both the friction circle, and more balanced loads front/rear.

How robust do driver controls really need to be? Never underestimate the strength of a scared driver.

Different processes for calculating and measuring brake temperatures for pad selection.

Definitions of limited slip differential types and performance, focusing on yaw moments due to combined cornering and acceleration or braking.

A highly optimized brake system properly managed by the driver allows longer wide-open throttle times, shorter brake zones, and higher average cornering speeds. This is how we reduce lap times.
