4. Banking On The Turn

5. Design Speed Equation

6. Equation of Maximum Velocity (V max ) 2 = [(sin + s cos ) / (cos - s sin )]gr is equal to the degree of banking of the particular turn s is the coefficient of static friction between the track and the tires g is acceleration due to gravity r is the radius of the particular turn
