Slip angle describes the deformation of the tire contact patch; this deflection of the patch deforms the tire in a fashion akin to a spring.

Where r is the turn radius, g is gravitational constant, and degree is the slope angle of the trail or berm. V is your velocity.

Whoever said drift cars have to be front-engined? Certainly not Hankook Tires, who has prepped a rear-engined Porsche 993 -- upgraded to GT2 spec -- for the Formula Drift series.

This makes the Correvit S-HR sensor especially suited for high-precision, high-resolution, slip-free transversal vehicle dynamics measurements, such as sideslip angle. When wheel-mounted, the sensor ...
