Data Analysis

Team engineer has been looking over the data collect at our latest test. We're still getting a suspension problem so will have to play around a little more to smooth out the dampers.

Tire wear appears to be very low whilst our lat g-force easily exceeds 3g without any significant changes in pressure/temperature. This indeicates we have plenty of grip through the faster corners and should be able to reduce the wing angle and increase straight line speed and acceleration.

Gear ratios are poor. The car does not achieve its top revs in 6th gear which needs to be looked at. The plan is to lower the rev limit slightly and alter the lower gears to give us more time in 4th, 5th and 6th. Hopefully this will send us in the right direction.
