FVSAL
The Front View Swing Arm Length (FVSAL) determines the camber change of the tires during Pitch, Heave and Roll.
|
|
Long FVSAL |
Short FVSAL |
|
Pitch & Heave |
Small camber change |
Large camber change |
|
Roll |
Large camber change |
Small camber change |
Because maximum longitudinal and lateral grip generally occur at different camber angles the ideal FVSAL length is a compromise between lateral and longitudinal grip. Your tire data will decide how to make a compromise between camber variation in heave and roll. This compromise will depend on the type and shape of the circuit being raced on.
