Tire pressures can be adjusted to affect the balance of a car during the race Lower the rear pressures 0.5psi and that’s enough to increase the tire print size to give the rear more grip

Ride frequency in race cars can be adjusted by spring rate: 0.5 - 1.5 Hz for passenger cars 1.5 - 2.0 Hz for GT 3.0 - 5.0 Hz for high downforce Should be good to start but will vary depending on the tracks

Ride frequency is how much the car bounces forwards and backwards Aka Differentiation between front and rear spring rates

If an anti-roll bar (ARB) has settings 1-7 (1 being the softest), a lot of times setting 7 is softer than 6 but stiffer than 5 This is because it reaches a certain point where it’s binding so much it has the reverse effect Picture from ResearchGate

And that’s even without AI

This actually applies to rear wing too At some point it will just create drag and very little downforce

Mathematical puzzle.

Where could AI improve a race car without taking away from the human factor?

To have complete control over a vehicle, you really need 10 shocks What would be each of their functions?

The classic heel-toe. It’s a lost art

Rain racing

It’s a bit different in every car, but mostly (and almost any driver would agree), the neck and grip strength give out first in a long race. Once the neck gives out, you have to rest it against the side halo in the corners.
