ok, so im FINALLY in a position to be listened to on our schools formula SAE car team, and im heading up the design group in charge of suspension and driver controls. I know a lot of theory for suspension design, mostly road car stuff, but the SAE competition deems it necessary to get to know the mathematics behind it all as well.

I was wondering if anyone could give me a couple of titles of race car suspension design books. Im very interested in learning about this stuff, not just for the competition but i plan to have a career in vehicle dynamics eventually.

thanks,
Parker

does race car vehicle dynamics come in softback? I cry whenever i think about getting it, but then consider the price.

 

I highly doubt it. I searched high and low for a paperback version, and came up with nothing. Its worth the price.
