It was a flat outside rear tyre that casued that crash. There were a stack of hypotheses including suspension failure and the like, but there was a comprehensive report somewhere that reported tyre damage consistent with having run over debris, resulting in ultimately "explosive decompression" of the tyre.Russ Noble said:Wasn't Jim Clark killed fighting bump steer at Hockenheim? That's a pretty drastic side effect!
Sorry, tongue in cheek. Almost before my time, I don't remember what the cause was. LOL. It WAS Hockenheim wasn't it or was that Rindt? Bloody alzheimers!
Cheers

the swing radius of the system is a bit more complex
Initially swings thru A-C1 but then the C-D link modifies the radius to an imaginary point. if A, C1, C2 all on same line , much better but difficult to achieve.

Better off with 3 element system top and bottom.
Top swings thru A-C, radius is length of line 90 degrees to A-C passing thru D
At the bottom you have two C posn and two D posn C1 forward, D2 forward.

I will get around to posting some sketches
10/10 for having a go!!
