Symbol: Fw
Measurement: ForceUnit: N
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Engine Torque
Engine Torque is the rotational force that an engine generates, affecting the acceleration and speed of a racing car, particularly during tire behavior and performance.
Symbol: T
Measurement: TorqueUnit: N*m
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Transmission Efficiency of Vehicle
Transmission Efficiency of Vehicle is the measure of how efficiently the power is transmitted from the engine to the wheels in a racing car through the tire behavior.
Symbol: ηt
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Diameter of Wheel
Diameter of Wheel is the distance across the wheel, passing through its center, affecting the racing car's speed, handling, and overall tire behavior.
