Hey, im currently building a mini F1 car from scratch to compete in the SAE races. All my college has thus far is the engine, and I wanted to know what you guys consider good sources of info to go to for steering/suspension design. Good books, programs, sites etc... Thanks

I took my car designs from Richard Scarry's Cars and Trucks and Things That Go.

I have "How to build & modify Sportscar & Kit car Suspension & Brakes" by Des Hammill and would really reccommend it. I also had a link for a good wishbone design program but seem to have lost it

Ok, sounds good. The software part of the racetechmag site doesnt seem to be working, it just keeps telling me that the site is not found.

Thanks again
