Can the Circle Track Analyzer be used for dirt track racing?
Many aspects of the Circle Track Analyzer are equally applicable to asphalt or dirt. For example, Roll Center, Camber Gain, etc only depend on the front suspension layout, not the track surface. However, what Roll Center or Camber Gain you decide to run is your decision. The programs lap times are based on the basic theory that you get your best traction (fastest lap times) right before the tires break loose and start spinning. This is definitely true on asphalt, and on many types of dirt tracks also. However, the program does not simulate any conditions where you are breaking the tires loose and “steering with the throttle”. There are also some recommendations (springs, stagger, etc) the program can calculate and these ARE for asphalt.
