Title: Formula SAE® – The Car Goes Where the Tires are Pointed - Alignment and Suspension Geometry
Summary: This presentation will cover the basics of both the static and dynamic alignment of all four wheels and the effects on vehicle performance. The orientation of the tires determines the steering and handling performance of your FSAE car, and to a lesser extent the braking and acceleration capability. By understanding the alignment of your car and how it changes while being driven, you can improve the performance of your car.
