HADA Tech - Suspension setup/geometry - March 19th

Hey Guys,
Time for another motorsports/car setup Tech Talk. As always these are free to everyone.

The next one will cover suspension setup/geometry. Guest speaker is Canadian superstar touring car/speed world challenge racecar driver and engineer for the Auto Analyser race team Andrew Wojteczko.

He's been racing Honda's, Porsches, Toyota's, Subarus, BMWs and more so can field any questions from Mac struts, to double wishbone.

It's taking place in the conference room at Grand Prix Kartways on Wednesday March 19th.

For directions:
http://www.gpkartways.com/

AndrewW will be giving a talk on suspensions. Topics covered:

- bump steer: the effects on handling and how to measure/improve
- roll centers: the effects and how to measure
- slip angles: what they mean to the driver, how to interpret basic tire data
- pressures: how do they influence grip and slip angle curves

Meeting to begin at 7:00 pm. The Tech Talk portion of the evening will start promptly at 7:30 pm.

Everyone is welcome. The bar, snack bar and karting is also open. GPK has a lounge area to sit, eat and chat.

Hope to see you all there!

It was a really good presentation, I learned a lot from it. Though many terminology were new to me, nontheless, the theory checked out. I still got a lot to learn and experience on track, and will want to apply them to this season's lapping days.

Thanks again to HADA for hosting such great class.
