Here are two pix of cars AutoXing
One is of the Nissan powered Ser5 and the other a Tiger
This shows what is needed to flatten out the cars for AutoXing
and keeping it somewhat comfortable!!!!!
Ideas?
The Alpine is finishing a turn. The Tiger is going thru a slight dog leg left to a short straight. It seems to be nosing down on the front right while lifting the left rearCould it be as simple as driving style?
White car appears to braking with almost no steering deflection.
Tiger appears to be accelerating gently on an "off camber" turn. ( measuring off a screen leaves a lot to question but the Tiger seems to have an approximate roll in the pic of 4 degrees - line of tire contact to line of bumper - not all that flat )
Both seem to be concentrating on setting up for the next problem just after exiting the previous problem.
With little evident heavy tire marks on the track, is it possible these pics are during an early practice lap?
She didn't know! Her dad built it and I didn't get a chance to talk with him. Appears to be a Nissan rear end as wellI wonder what kind of rear suspension the 'Nissan' has?
Series Alpines left the factory with a solid rear axle, open driveshaft and longitudinal multi-leaf springs (generally referred to as a "Hotchkiss" suspension system). Changing the brand of the solid rear axle does not change the "kind of rear suspension."
