FORMULA iR-04 // TIRES & AERO T IRE T EMPER AT URES Tire carcass temperatures, measured via Pyrometer, once the car has returned to the pits. Wheel Loads and the amount of work a tire is doing on-track are reflected in the tire’s temperature, and these values can be used to analyze the car’s handling balance. -

FORMULA iR-04 // TIRES & AERO AERO CALCULATOR The Aero Calculator is a tool provided to aid in understanding the shift in aerodynamic balance associated with adjustment of the rear wing setting and front and rear ride heights. It is important to note that the values for front and rear ride height displayed here DO NOT result in any mechanical changes to the car itself, however, changes to the rear wing angle here WILL be applied to the car. -

Correct weight arrangement around the car is crucial for optimizing a car for a given track and conditions. For the iR-04 this cannot be easily influenced as individual corner pushrods are non-adjustable. -

FORMULA iR-04 // CHASSIS angles which can be beneficial in chicances or hairpins. As well as this the more caster angle the greater the jacking effect during cornering which will result in lifting the inside front wheel while lowering the outside front wheel. This jacking effect will also result in the unloading and potentially lifting of the inside rear wheel which can aid in rotation around tight corners. -

FORMULA iR-04 // CHASSIS Pushrod offsets must be adjusted to return the car to the prior static ride heights after any spring rate change. C A MBER As at the front of the car it is desirable to run significant amounts of negative camber in order to increase the lateral grip capability;... - Page 18 FORMULA iR-04 // CHASSIS Increasing the ARB assembly stiffness will increase the roll stiffness of the rear suspension, resulting in less body roll but increasing mechanical oversteer. This can also cause the car to “take a set” more quickly at initial turn-in. Conversely, reducing the ARB assembly stiffness will soften the suspension in roll, increasing body roll but decreasing mechanical oversteer.
