Not been too clever latley, so please excuse me digging up this old stuff, been bored. I wonder if the solution to racing in the rain is connected. I know that the top layer is essential to racing tyres, but if it is possible, then its possible

Porous asphalt has featured in this site before:

I think many more times, actually.

Thanks, missed that, (before my time ) maybe I should go back on this site and see what else I missed.
Gone should not be forgotten.

I wonder where these old posters have gone? Maybe some passed, but a wealth of knowledge not here now

Whats the best way to scan earliest posts? any tips

Does not matter if it has been brought up before, it is a valid subject because it is part of the solution to races being cancelled or run in dubious conditions and of course for safer roads.
Civil engineering for water management has the ability to cater for heavy rain but doesnt seem to be adequately carried out at race tracks.
One could imagine collaboration between race tyre engineers and road engineers (re drainage and surface material and construction properties) would yield far superior tracks and as mentioned roads than the status quo.
One could also see the end of curbs at car tracks too...

I never said it does. I just added extra info.

I only understand some of this but fascinating nonetheless.
The natural resonance, is this something that is constant no matter how much energy you put into it , ie, the result is the same frequency?

Are we missing a link here JC?

With no wheels that I can see, I think it'd be a terrible car.

The problem with porous concrete is that it gets clogged up and its difficult to clean it out again. In principle its a good idea but its needs more refinement.
