anthonym Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 typical deceleration is around 8.5 m/sec^2what is it for a Seven?Anthony edity: I've asked Avon, but not really hopeful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Jonathan Kay Posted July 28, 2015 Member Share Posted July 28, 2015 You can probably get some data from the world record 0-100-0 runs.Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ. Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Not sure about data, but from experience: Hot tyres, dry smooth road- better than a normal car. Cold tyres wet bumpy road-much worse than an average car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul McKenzie Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 The superb aerodynamics help with deceleration..take your foot off going downhill fast, and you'll see what I mean. Who needs brakes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6speedmanual Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 0.87G is pretty strong. With ABS tripped on dry road it could be less. In a 7 with grippy tyres, nice aggregated road surface, good brake balance and enough pedal feel and progression for a skilled driver to get into the deep slip zone.... Maybe 1G possible...?

Member Jonathan Kay Posted July 28, 2015 Member Share Posted July 28, 2015 The 0 - 100mph - 0 record by the R500 Evolution might have been 10.73s with the noisy bit being 6.92s but I can't find a source I'd trust.Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjmmarsh Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 I posted a side by side comparison of my CSR vs my E-Type on two Blyton track days here. This includes a G-circle plot of both cars that show CR500s allow you to pull just over 1G on the brakes. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6speedmanual Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Nice data set Steve. What I thought. Is the R500 running standard (for R500, ie Caterham "big brakes") brakes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon.Rogers Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 I have data from sprinting that shows 1.35 g on 175/185's and 1.7 on 215'sI have tried to take the mean of the readings as they are quite spiky and need smoothed out.I really need to look at the data for the hillclimb comound slicks as you really feel that on your head movement.

Support Team Shaun_E Posted July 29, 2015 Support Team Share Posted July 29, 2015 On soft compound Kumho V70A I'm pulling peak G of around 1.3 but that is on the edge of lockup and not sustained. Can easily pull a sustained 1.15G. All based on data from Curborough. At Llandow at the end of the start/finish straight, again pulling around 1.3G peak. Braking very hard but for a short time for the chicane there registered a peak reading of 1.65G!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon.Rogers Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Thats good that we are not far off but I need to lower the sample rate on mine to find the mean a bit easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
