For a variety of events, this formulation produces good driver/vehicle<br />

behaviour, representative of real vehicle and driver behaviour (Figure 6.45).<br />

The simulated driver and vehicle behaviour for a post-limit turn-in event is<br />

compared here to a real vehicle. Note the freewheeling analytical model (of<br />

a significantly different vehicle) displays greater body slip angle, while the<br />

real vehicle displays greater oversteer.<br />

6.13.3 Body slip angle control<br />

Skilled drivers, particularly rally drivers, frequently operate at large body<br />

slip angles. Colloquially, there is much talk of body slip angles being in<br />

excess of 45 degrees but recorded data suggests this is not the case despite<br />

appearances. Large body slip angles generally slow progress; although some<br />

of the yaw transients are rapid, in general the actual body slip angles are<br />

comparatively small (Figure 6.46). In general, drivers greatly overestimate<br />

body slip angle subjectively.
