Team Juric - Lotus 25 Cyclekart Design - Part 1

Welcome to Part 1 of the Team Juric Lotus 25 Cyclekart design series.

This three-part series will cover the following scope.

Part 1
-Rule and Intent
- Layout and Architecture
Part 2
- Dynamics
- Powertrain
Part 3
- Driver Controls
- Structures including chassis and suspension
- Bodywork

In this video, we will be looking specifically at:

- What is a Cyclekart
- Scope of the Design Series
- Why a Lotus 25
- Layout and architecture including:
- Benchmarking and Simulation
- Car Targets
- Track, Wheelbase and Driver Ergonomics
- Engine Position - Mid vs Rear Engine
- Suspension Type - Double wishbone vs Beam Axle
- Steering Architecture - Front Steer vs Rear Steer
- Outboard Steering Geometry Explanation
- Castor
- Trail
- KPI
- Scrub Radius
- Castor and Scrub Combined
This section will elaborate on the geometric effects of Castor and KPI as well as the force effects of Trail and Scrub Radius.
