How would you calculate the force created by tyres from an F1 car during cornering? The reason for this is that I want to be able to calculate the centripetal force, and then work out the friction force to meet/exceed it etc? Anyone knowledge on the subject would greatly be appreciated, I'm struggling to find stuff on the internet. |||This might be just what you are looking for:

If the turn isn't banked, just put theta = 0 in the equation, or go back a couple of pages for the much simpler example on a flat surface.
Using u to represent the coeffficient of friction, note that the formula
[ tan(theta) + u ) ] / [ (1 - u tan(theta) ]
is equivalent to:
tan(theta + phi) where tan(phi) = u.
That makes solution a lot simpler if it is u you want to calculate.
