Abstract
A racing car should be designed to improve the performance of the driver-vehicle system. Unfortunately, at present no readily exploitable driver models seem to be available. So the optimisation of a racing car refers mainly to the car itself. Contemporary tuning of both tyre characteristics and suspesnion system is of crucial importance. One of the main technical challenges is to achieve maximum cornering speed while balancing tyre forces at front and rear axles, improving handling ability.
