Ways to Make a Racecar Fast
SLIDE 11
Big Engine
SLIDE 12
Downforce
SLIDE 13
Really Good Downforce
SLIDE 14
Downforce Gone Bad
SLIDE 15
High Power Low Drag
SLIDE 16
Lower Drag Even Lower Power
SLIDE 17
Bolt is not grip limited right now…
SLIDE 18
Sliding = Slow
SLIDE 19
Cool, but Slow
SLIDE 20
Formula SAE Course
SLIDE 21 We care most about Lateral Grip
SLIDE 22 What about weight?
No Area Term?
Coefficient of Static Friction varies with weight, pressure, temperature, and camber angle
SLIDE 23
Camber Angle
SLIDE 24 Want max grip while also having drivable car
SLIDE 25
I Don’t Trust Software that’s not R
SLIDE 26
SLIDE 27
Printer + Pen + Scanner + MS Paint
SLIDE 28 Magic Formula
y = sy+Dsin(C atan(B(x+sx)-E(B(x+sx)-atan(B(x+sx)))))
- y = side force output, x = slip angle input
- Sy = vertical shiff, sx = horizontal shift
- B = Slope from origin
- C = horizontal bounds of sin wave
- D = peak value
- E = curvature factor
SLIDE 29
But in a billion dimensions nah….
SLIDE 30
KNN Regression
SLIDE 31
Local Regression
SLIDE 32 Thin Plate Smoothing Spline
cross-validated residuals while also minimizing number knots in splines

SLIDE 33
Nonlinear Least Squares on Magic Formula
SLIDE 34 Trying GAM
Y = s(SA) + fz * SA^n
SLIDE 35
Loess, Locfit
SLIDE 36 More Locfit
Turn nearest neighbor value to n = 0.1
SLIDE 37
Play with NN
SLIDE 38
KNN Regression
SLIDE 39
Locfit
SLIDE 40
GAM
SLIDE 41
SLIDE 42
SLIDE 43
Comparison of Tires
SLIDE 44
Camber Interpolation
SLIDE 45
Why don’t you try interpolating FZ too?
SLIDE 46
Scale the Z
