| Re: GT40 Weight Distribution I had always thought that a grand prix car had about 60-40 rear to front. The two parts on the car that weigh the most for the area they take up are the crank and the gear cluster. They are both between the CG of the car and the rear axle center line. Also the fuel load is bias towards the rear. The only large mass not biased toward the rear is the driver. I would guess that a GP car's center of gravity is about between the fuel cell and the engine. The center of gravity on a GT40 is somewhere behind the driver and should be about the same as a GP car. Aprox 60/40 R/F
Corner weights on a GTD should be about 700 on the rears and about 550 on the fronts. Thats about 57/43 R/F |
