Too Much Grip for the CG?

In professional race cars, we work hard to make the front roll center migrate the opposite direction ... and migrate towards ... or past ... the inside front tire. We do this to work the inside tires mo'better ... and not lift them off the ground.

So ... even when you're not lifting the inside tires off the ground ... that car is not loading the inside tires much, if any.

Have fun & be safe !

Thanks Ron! I'll have to think about roll center migration with a strut suspension.
