  4. Banking On The Turn

  5. Design Speed Equation

  6. Equation of Maximum Velocity • (Vmax)2 = [(sin + scos) / (cos - ssin)]gr •  is equal to the degree of banking of the particular turn • s is the coefficient of static friction between the track and the tires • g is acceleration due to gravity • r is the radius of the particular turn

  7. Derivation of Maximum Velocity Equation

  8. Darlington Raceway 1.366-Mile Egg-shaped Oval Backstretch Length: 1,229 Ft Width: 90 FtBanking: 2° Turns 3 & 4 Banking: 23° Width: 62 Ft Radius: 525 Ft Turns 1 & 2 Banking: 25° Width: 79 FtRadius: 600 Ft Frontstretch Length: 1,229 Ft Width: 90 FtBanking: 3° Qualifying Record: 173.797 mph
