Are we talking stage rallies, TSD rallies, rally cross "rallies" ?
I've driven zip, zero, nada, not a single stage mile in my entire life. I do spend a decent amount of time on paved racetracks though every year. But you don't care about that, and that's totally okay. His question was not about stage rally. It was about vehicle dynamics from a slightly higher level, an area where I have a just a little bit of experience and knowledge. |

The question should be assumed to be about one's experience in gravel rally... Driving, building, planning..Gravel rally...

The hunger for knowledge is a terrible thing to have.

And speaking of knowlege, ever hear the meme "a man has got to know his limits"? Hunger for knowledge is one thing--- repeating recently aquired theories to innocent newbs who might mistakenly believe they are reading about "knowledge" is another.. You have a thirst for knowledge? Then read this nice little essay: http://www.bocc.ubi.pt/pag/peirce-charles-fixation-belief.pdf It begins: The Fixation of Belief (Popular Science Monthly 12 (November 1877), pp. 1-15) ( tradução em português ) Charles Sanders Peirce I Few persons care to study logic, because everybody conceives himself to be proficient enough in the art of reasoning already. But I observe that this satisfaction is limited to one’s own ratiocination, and does not extend to that of other men. We come to the full possession of our power of drawing inferences the last of all our faculties, for it is not so much a natural gift as a long and difficult art.

HA! Bwahahahahahahahaha!!!!!! Thanks for the laugh John
John, how do you think a sway bar works? I see that you have placed me into a box as someone who is "young" and lacks all the experience of the great JVL. While I may be "young" by your standards, I learned most of what I know through my own successes and failure, and through the successes and failures of friends (who happen to work in F1, NASCAR, LeMans prototype teams, and the aerospace and automotive industry... as engineers). All that we have learned is through reading, testing, experiencing, and talking to those with much more experience. "The man feels that, if he only holds to his belief without wavering, it will be entirely satisfactory. Nor can it be denied that a steady and immovable faith yields great peace of mind. It may, indeed, give rise to inconveniences, as if a man should resolutely continue to believe that fire would not burn him, or that he would be eternally damned if he received his ingesta otherwise than through a stomach-pump. But then the man who adopts this method will not allow that its inconveniences are greater than its advantages. He will say, “I hold steadfastly to the truth, and the truth is always wholesome.” And in many cases it may very well be that the pleasure he derives from his calm faith overbalances any inconveniences resulting from its deceptive character" This bit was pretty darn good.
