Thumbs up Roll center

Hi Bob, after using your program I have a tech question.


I have been playing with roll centeres. I have always been taught that (all other things being equal) that a lower roll center will give morer weight transfer to the out side wheels when the car is turning (especially at corner apex) than a higher roll center will.

Changing the roll center height on the lower susp pins on your "dynamics" page confirms this. (roll center lower = higher number on graph - wheel load V lateral g) however when I flip over to the "Handling" tab and repeat the exact procedure it shows the higher roll center transfers more weight to the outside tyres and the lower roll center produces less weight transfer.

Could u please explain what happening:

PS: I have played with the droop settings a lot but it still does the same

Thank in advance
