  2. Ski (driving stunt) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ski_(driving_stunt)

    The stunt is generally performed by driving one pair of wheels up on a ramp to lift one side of the car. [2] Alternately, the stunt can be done in a vehicle with a high center of gravity (such as a 4x4 or SUV) by turning sharply or at speed. This technique is more dangerous because there is a strong possibility of the vehicle tipping completely ...

  3. Carved turn - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carved_turn

    A carved turn is a skiing and snowboarding term for the technique of turning by shifting the ski or snowboard onto its edges. When edged, the sidecut geometry causes the ski (in the following, snowboard is implicit and not mentioned) to bend into an arc, and the ski naturally follows this arc shape to produce a turning motion.

  4. Skid (automobile) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skid_(automobile)

    Once the force exceeds the limit circle, that tire starts to slip. Skidding is the vehicle's response to one or more tires slipping. The vehicle dynamics during a skid will depend on whether some or all of the tires are skidding, and whether the car was rotating or turning when the skid began.

    It can be fitted to a conventional car or truck to turn it into a half-track, suitable for use over rough or soft ground. Conventional front wheels and steering are used, although skis may also be fitted. A snowmobile is a smaller ski-only type.

  6. Countersteering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Countersteering

    When countersteering to turn right, the following is performed: [5] [6] A torque on the handlebars to the left is applied. The front wheel will then rotate about the steering axis to the left and the tire will generate forces in the contact patch to the left. The machine as a whole steers to the left.

  8. Vehicle dynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vehicle_dynamics

    The tire model must produce realistic shear forces during braking, acceleration, cornering, and combinations, on a range of surface conditions. Many models are in use. Most are semi-empirical, such as the Pacejka Magic Formula model. Racing car games or simulators are also a form of vehicle dynamics simulation. In early versions many ...

  9. Automobile handling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automobile_handling

    During corner entry the front tires, in addition to generating part of the lateral force required to accelerate the car's centre of mass into the turn, also generate a torque about the car's vertical axis that starts the car rotating into the turn. However, the lateral force being generated by the rear tires is acting in the opposite torsional ...
