Introduction
Rally and physics is closely related to each other. What is rally? The World Rally Championship (WRC) has always been one of the most demanding and challenging motor sport competitions on the planet. But over the past 12 months, the World Rally Championship has undergone a revolution. ... This is just the start of what ISC has got planned for the World Rally Championship in the future. There are already billions of fans hooked to World Rally - spellbound by the worlds greatest drivers doing battle in some of the harshest environments on the planet. ... The rally is one of the car racing events. The structure of rally is the closest among all. A rally cars body is basically like a real car you would find on the street with a couple modifications. ... Many events in rally happen with physics in there. ...
Car Chassis
A rally cars body is basically like a real car you would find on the street with a couple modifications. ... Gravity is a force that pulls down on everything so when a rally car goes off a jump and there are no shocks or springs then the car would simply take severe damage and could break. ... So now the rally cars that have shocks and springs wont take as much damage or break but all the force that the car has when gravity pulls it back to the ground is taken by the shocks and springs and the force is lessened on the car.
The spoiler is a helpful little device that all rally cars utilize. ... Rally cars all have about 300 hp and that is a lot of power that can create a lot of velocity in a short period of time so the spoiler is crucial for that extra control or there could be a tough time control the car. ... For tarmac stages rally cars usually have the spoiler aimed down to press the car to the ground for less air resistance and more velocity. ... All rally cars are essential the everyday sports car that you could by but changed by the manufacturer for racing. So all the curves and aerodynamics on the car that you see in a rally you will see on the street legal version of that car. ... On some rally cars the mirrors are taken off the sides to help cut down on air resistance and the car will have better performance going through the course. ...

Braking
Generally most late model production cars braking systems are more than adequate, and for the rally car builder, generally the replacement of brake pad materials with that of a quality aftermarket item, that can withstand vastly increased temperatures without turning to mush is all that is required. ... Yet techniques learned on the track or rally cross course to control your car can be very valuable in making you a better driver. ... Our goal is to find a physics model that will allow understeer, oversteer, skidding, handbrake turns, etc. ... Think of rally drivers going through a curve. ...
The Physics in Rally Car Collisions
Some Basic Theory
Velocity The displacement divided by the elapsed time v = d / t
Acceleration The change in velocity divided by the elapsed time a = v / t
Newtons First Law of Motion
An object continues in a state of rest or in a state of motion at a constant speed along a straight line, unless compelled to change that state by a net force.
