The BRAKE Report’s Post

This is the video of the 1:6 scale scissor car lift we designed as part of our final graduation project.

Quite possibly the greatest passage from a car review you’ll read, courtesy of a 1920 issue of Autocar.

New version of Vehicle Centre of Gravity with Road and Rail Drive Power Calculation Tool released. There is also a feature for on track braking distance calculation. Why would you waste your time for building all the formulae and edit all the descriptions when you can use our tool and print your results to PDF. Why don’t you try it and tell us what you think about it. What should we make next to improve your experience.

I have pondered also this topic a long time and here is my first take on the matter. I think you actually don`t need convex wheelcovers if your wheel and tire combination is already aerodynamic. You will get much better results by using narrow tire and wider wheel plus a relatively flat wheelcovers. And by this I dont mean crazy streching. At the moment my estimation is that for 195/60R18 tire best wheel width is 8x18. That will be 1" wider than recommended max wheel size. I will test performance with 7,0x18 7,5x18 8,0x18 Wheels on that 195/60R18 ePrimacy size to see how it actually performs in moose test, slalom, and 20m grip circle. Performance gain grip wise in wet track conditions should be around 7% in wet and 4% in dry conditions. This would mean in moose test 5 km/h difference in pass speed. If we get 1-2 km/h boost in performance I think its a success to use wider wheels. As in track use the gains in time come from straigths when you can keep little bit higher speeds in corners. More and more manufacturers are moving towards this direction. Here comes the most tricky part. If you use small tire side profile rations you will scrape/get curb rash your wheels almost on first try. Tesla Model Y stock size 255/45R19 still protects little bit the wheel, but those 255/35R21 performance tires give you no mercy. #aerodynamics #wheels #aluminum #steel #tires #tyres #streching #wide #tall #narrow #drag #convex #wheelcovers #flat #performance #tesla #modely #road #testing

Here's the size of the XB-19's landing gear wheel next to a car from that time.
