[quote]page21:
..., anti squat in the rear is doubly beneficial, in that the desired tire patch movement is rearward, which absorbs bumps

Now the plot thickens. Anti squat is only beneficial for accelerating [b]in a straight line. Under body-roll conditions, the IRS geometry is doing its thing to keep the tires flat to the ground. If the camber curves are correct, a bit of squat in the corners doesn't hurt.

Also it is hard for me to believe that a low-profile race tire is so flaccid that the contact patch actually moves rearward, which somehow makes the tire even more compliant - whew.

Just the musings of an over-the-hill sports car racer.
