Published on 2005-03-07 by Mark VandeWettering

Marco Monster has a nice tutorial article on Car Physics (mirrored here) that’s worth reading if you are thinking about writing your own version of Grand Tourismo. There is also a ton of good links at the motorsport sim Wiki.

Addendum: Brian Beckman’s Physics of Racing series can be found here as a set of 30 PDF files. Those of you with the desire to not click 30 times can simply type:
