Anyone read "How To Make Your Car Handle" by Fred Puhn? I'd like to learn more about the relationship of the different aspects of my track car (relation of spring rates to shock rebound settings to AR settings, etc).
Anyone have any recommended readings? Thanks, Bill P. |

The two books I listed are the most up to date books available. They cover everything from production cars to race cars. There are are good sections on the semi trailing arm suspension and the strut suspension. They are worth buying.
My biggest problem with Race Tech and Racecar Engineering are they are so limited and they seem more like an advertisement for some new stuff than a true technical magazine. Now they do have their good articles from time to time. The Best info will come from currently published textbooks and SAE white papers. You should start perusing the SAE website for good info. Brad you don't have to go to Europe for chassis classes, Claude Rouelle puts on some of the best classes in the world as does SAE. They hold one each year at Panoz about chassis setup. Real world chassis set up on multiple race cars. |
