Limited slip differential and wings are typical of race cars. Both greatly impact on the vehicle handling (otherwise would not be used). Therefore, the first part of this chapter is devoted to the formulation of a suitable vehicle model. The handling of Formula cars is addressed by means of the Map of Achievable Performance (MAP). With this new approach it is possible to better understand the effects of different vehicle setups at steady state and also in power-on/off conditions. The relationship between steady-state results and transient behavior is analysed in detail.
