Variation of the location of Centre of Gravity
The location of the position of the centre of gravity is shifted rearwards leading to the ratio lf/lr=0.776. In other words the axle load distribution is changed.
The result:
Version 2 points to a lower yaw natural frequency and a higher yaw damping compared to the 0-version.
Due to the degressive nature of the tire characteristics Fα = f(GW, α = const.), the decrease of the effective slip stiffness csf on the front axle is not of the same magnitude as the increase of the center-of-gravity distance lf to the front axle.
