	America's Best Handling Car - Motor Trend
		Today's worst-handling car is probably as agile on its well-shod feet as some of the most exotic mid-century sports cars were, and sorting out the crme-de-l'handling-crme now takes more than the simple biological assometer.
		To shed some meaningful light on the topic of dynamic handling, we decided to invite top-handling cars representing the four major driveline layouts-front engine, front drive; front engine, rear drive; front engine, all-wheel drive; and mid- or rear engine.
		The bulldog Mini Cooper S John Cooper Works GP ($31,150) and the Mitsubishi Evolution IX MR ($37,424) test cars are both 2006 models because their successors weren't yet available, and we couldn't bear to let either of these two staff favorites sit out the competition.

	Full time 4 wheel drive turbo charged car dynamics
		Note that all handling behaviors described herein are applicable in "close to the limit" situations which is to say close to the limit of grip and are mainly valid on high friction surfaces i.e.
		The usual effect of braking with the left foot is to lock the rear wheels of the car thus inducing an oversteering character to the handling.
		When one of these cars enters a corner fast (with the gas pedal down) its rear wheels will lose traction (will have a tendency to spin) and the centrifugal force the car is subject to combined with the reduced friction coefficient to the rear wheels will lead their rear end off the curve.

	Champ Car > Glossary (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Champ Cars are very sensitive to ride height adjustments which affects the efficiency of the downforce generated by ground effects, so a careful balance needs to be achieved between running the car too high and losing ground effect downforce, or running the car too low and experiencing bottoming.
		In a Champ Car, the functions include traction control and driver-controlled fuel adjustment., and can be set up so that the engine will run at different maximum RPM limits or traction control settings depending on which gear the car is in or even location on a race track.
		A car is suspended off the ground by a complex set of A-arms, springs, shocks and anti-roll bars that connect the chassis to the four tires.

	Holden Heaven - Old Holdens - Holden Commodore Handling
		Wheel Alignment can determine how your car handles at any given part of the road and is the most important factor to a cars handling as it ties all the components together and can create many characteristics.
		Oversteer is when the car becomes tail happy and the driver is required to opposite lock the steering wheel to correct it.
		Car makers tend towards understeer as this is safer than oversteer and can be corrected more easily by the general public where as most racing drivers prefer a slight oversteer.

	Car Handling - Tech Articles - Stock Car Racing Magazine
		The terms loose and tight are the terms used to describe the reaction of the car.
		An asphalt race car is set up with more total weight on the right front and left rear than on the left front and the right rear.
		Winston Cup cars are not allowed to change the front-wedge bolts after the car goes through inspection, so any wedge adjustment must be made in the rear.

		Handling : The cornering is good i can take normal street corners at about 45mph but the body rocks a little on the freeway its as smooth at 120 as it is at 75.
		Handling : Overall the handling is decent, although the car tends to swerve quite a bit on higher speeds.
		Handling : Handles very well, but to maximize the capibilities of this car, you must use the transmission to keep the engine in the range for good turbo boost and come out of corners fast.

	NASCAR WINSTON CUP RACING TEAM OPTIMIZES CAR HANDLING AND STABILITY WITH ALGOR CHASSIS ANALYSIS
		Focusing on improving the performance of Team SABCO's 1999 race cars on intermediate length race tracks, the most common type, Erwin had two optimization goals: increasing the stiffness of the chassis and lowering the center of gravity for better handling and stability.
		An unbalanced car often feels unpredictable and unstable to a driver, who is naturally inclined to slow down to maintain control of the vehicle.
		For the other load case, opposing loads were applied to the beam model near the right front tire and on the right front center suspension to simulate the effects of a left-hand turn on the chassis since nearly all races are run in a counter-clockwise fashion.

	Car Prices and Research - 2005 Mini Cooper New Car Test Drive \| Car.com
		That large circle in the center of the dash, visible to anyone in the car, is the speedometer.
		Furthermore, there's a part-way mode in retracting the lid that leaves a sun-roof section open at the front of the cockpit granting front-seat occupants a view of skyscrapers, majestic peaks or the indulgent stares of teamsters at the wheel of 18-wheelers.
		As one might expect from a car associated with BMW, the Mini Cooper's steering is precise and immediate, though not as light as you might expect in a small car.

	Car handling - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		(Since cars have reasonable symmetrical shapes, the off-diagonal terms of the angular inertia tensor can usually be ignored.) Mass near the ends of a car can be avoided, without re-designing it to be shorter, by the use of light materials for bumpers and fenders or by deleting them entirely.
		Bump steer – Is the effect of irregularity of a road surface on the angle or motion of a car.
		It may be the result of the kinematic motion of the suspension rising or falling, causing tow-in or toe-out at the loaded wheel, ultimately affecting the yaw angle (heading) of the car.

	NASCAR.com - Measuring tire wear is critical to handling - July 26, 2001
		A tight race car will likely show excessive wear on the right front tire, with the tire looking like it's feathered across the tread patch.
		A loose car, meanwhile, is more apt to show excessive wear on the right rear.
		The same rules apply to wear on racing tires as passenger car tires: When a tire has too much air pressure, it will show excessive wear in the center; too much camber on the front tires will show wear on the inside of the tire, etc.

	News: Xpand Rally Car Handling Physics - GamersHell.com
		Sport cars have limited slip mounted which limits the difference in rotational speeds between powered wheels which leads to stabilization of the track and better traction in sliding.
		Also the simulation of the elasticity of the tyres in Xpand Rally has the impact on the behavior of the suspension as the tyres are the first elements that absorb the unevenness of the roads.
		Additionally when the body of the car collides with objects of the environment forces of friction appear at the point of the contact similarly to the tyre-surface contact.

	TurnFast : Handling
		In the end, every modification and adjustment for "handling" comes down to getting the maximum work out of those four little patches of where the rubber meets the road.
		Race car handling is a very broad and very technical subject, and we're not going to pretend to cover this subject completely.
		Having an understanding of handling physics, your car, and your goals, will help you know whether that killer part described in a magazine article or ad is going to help, or whether it needs something else at the same time to be effective.

	Active Handling
		Active Handling takes that brake intervention a step farther by using single-caliper, brake applications to control gross oversteer or understeer situations in which the driver may have trouble maintaining control using steering, throttle or brake pedal inputs alone.
		That applies additional yaw torque to the car in the direction it is turning which decreases the understeer.
		Engineers, who've driven the car in severe weather conditions, say that, until the snow gets so deep that ground clearance becomes a factor, the C5 with Active Handling and four of Goodyear's EMT M+S tires, is quite an effective heavy weather car.
