DISCLAIMER: This is a page I’m using to dump ideas on, don’t work on any of these until I know it’s something worth your time!
Look through https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-bWkNHVTJY1twCAHPgSCfQ/videos to find and summarize his videos on vehicle dynamics. I would stick to the English ones myself.
Make the following calculators either by a MatLab script or an excel spreadsheet:
Load Transfer (for combined braking and turning)
Some variables:
Wheelbase
Track
Mass
CG Location (x, y, z)
Brake Acceleration
Turning Acceleration
CG Estimator (falls in with weight budget; use MSXII as an example)
Weight Budget
Figure out approximate locations of some of the main masses in the car and approximate the location of the CG
Material Analysis
Is 4130 the best for suspension parts? Can we use forge carbon fiber anywhere?
Part Finishing
How should we finish our parts? What procedure should we follow when we receive parts to avoid corrosion?
Weight Transfer from Steering
How much can we expect the CG to move when the car rolls in a turn? No exact answers, only approximations.
