Toyo Tires F1600 Championship Series is an open-wheel racing championship series based in Ontario, Canada. It features cars powered by 1.6L engines produced by both Ford and Honda. It is sanctioned by the CASC, Ontario region. It has two distinct classes: the A Class for the newer chassis and the B Class, for cars manufactured in or before 1994 ...
The tire wars during this period has been cited as a reason for six-car start at the 2005 United States Grand Prix. [29] After Michelin left at the end of 2006, Bridgestone became the sole tire supplier of Formula One until 2010, [30] when Pirelli took over the duty as Formula One's sole tire supplier, a status it maintains as of 2024.

Tire uniformity refers to the dynamic mechanical properties of pneumatic tires as strictly defined by a set of measurement standards and test conditions accepted by global tire and car makers. These standards include the parameters of radial force variation , lateral force variation , conicity, ply steer, radial run-out , lateral run-out , and ...
Colorized tire footprint pressure distribution. The contact patch is the portion of a vehicle's tire that is in actual contact with the road surface.It is commonly used in the discussion of pneumatic (i.e. pressurized) tires, where the term is used strictly to describe the portion of the tire's tread that touches the road surface.
Variants of the Formula Vee rules exist in Australia, Brazil, Canada, Germany, the UK & Ireland, South Africa, and New Zealand. Particularly notable is Formula First, racing in the US and New Zealand, which employs the same chassis, but with later model Beetle parts, a larger 1,600 cc (98 cu in) motor (New Zealand uses the 1,200 cc [73 cu in] variant) and other upgraded components such as disc ...
W Series logo on the Tatuus F3 T-318; 2019 season.. W Series was an all-female single-seater racing championship. [1] It was held over a total of three seasons in 2019, 2021 and 2022 before the championship fell into administration and later liquidated, with a planned season in 2020 cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Tire load sensitivity describes the behaviour of tires under load. Conventional pneumatic tires do not behave as classical friction theory would suggest. The load sensitivity of most real tires in their typical operating range is such that the coefficient of friction decreases as the vertical load, Fz, increases.
The slipping velocity (difference between the velocity of the car and the velocity of the tire in the contact point) will change very quickly and the model becomes a stiff system (a system whose eigenvalues differ a lot), which may require a special solver. The general form of the Magic Formula, given by Pacejka, is: [8]
