What is body roll and what factors influence it?
Answer
Body roll is the lateral tilting of the vehicle body toward the outside of a turn during cornering, caused by centrifugal force acting on the center of gravity. Factors influencing body roll include suspension stiffness, anti-roll bar stiffness, center of gravity height, track width, and vehicle weight. Controlling body roll is important for handling feel, passenger comfort, and maintaining tire contact.
