I've been to three videos now does anybody in the world know how to figure the power to weight ratio without swapping out the engines and souping up the car and buying some slicks and take it to the drag strip and this and that because when you go to your insurance man and he charges you for the insurance on your car he don't give a God damn about what you're going to do with it or how you change the motors out and how many times you went to drag strip and and souped up and and drove it with a dump truck they don't care they just tell you you owe so much money because you got so much horsepower for pounds and does anybody know how to figure that number I don't give a goddamn about where we're going to do with it because the insurance man knows how to figure it and you pay him what he tells you you owe and you got to take his word for it was a part of the ratio is cuz that's how they charge you for a dollar and what Google is telling me is the opposite way that church man figures it so I want to see how you figure it but I guess we got to wait now until you get done working on your car and changing them motors out whatever the hell else you're going to do I'm out of here

I just noticed this on my new tires, but not sure if this is because of the soft sidewall or the tread. I tried to bump the pressure to 3 bar, it feels better but still feels like a jelly when driving faster. I already went through some break in for 1000km but they still feel bad, I suppose it is a soft sidewall. How to know how soft the sidewall is when buying new tires?

Two questions come to mind: (1) what is your starting pressure? For instance, what if all four tires have a max PSI rating of 44. Where do you start for that first run? Also, (2) how would you account for negative camber? I run -3.2 in the front and -2.7 in the rear. Even with a turn-heavy circuit, would I not expect the interior portion of the tire to be warmer due to the negative camber? I have other questions as I'm relatively new to the track, but I'll leave it at that. Ok I'll say this much: someone I trust with racing experience told me what I have been doing every day at the track, and it has worked for me, but I wonder if I could get more out of the tire if I measure temps and adjust accordingly. Anyway, he said to aim for a hot temp to be equal to the max PSI allowed by the tire itself. In my case, the max for my Federal SS595's is 44, so I usually start with a cold temp of 38 so that by the time I am done with the 20-25 mins session, the pressure on each tire will be in the 42-45 range, depending. Like I said I have had good experiences this way and the tires have lasted me for about 9-10 track days, so I couldn't ask for more, but I'm willing to try new and better things. Thank you.

I wouldn't call this molecular adhesion, because at the molecular level, not microscopic as you're showing, the only physical property that's really being taken advantage of is friction and maximizing it. Now, if the tires themselves were coated with a compound to make them sticky intentionally, something that would adhere to the track as it ran, that would be a good example of molecular adhesion.

On fluid - dot 3 is synthetic fluid and is based on glycol, for compressibility dot 3 is actually less compressible than say a dot 5 silicone based. People upgrade to higher fluid type (from dot 3 to 4 or 5) due to higher wet and dry boiling points to handle more heat before boiling and creating air bubbles (which are compressible).

Cee Rodrigue Great question! Personally, when I build a car, I start with handling and braking. Keep your eyes peeled for my project car build videos. I’m currently building a 92 Camaro. I’m starting with suspension, brakes and tires. If you’re starting out, the best use of your money is driver training. If you’ve got a few sessions under your belt and really want to add to your car, the first place I’d start is tires. Everything else needs good tires to work to their full potential. If you’re doing a full build, you really need to start by reading the rules for the class you wish to run. In my case, I had some ideas on what parts I wanted, and found a class where they would fit and I could still be competitive.
