This actually helped me understand how I can setup my car on ACC. This doesn't just apply to F1. Thanks Dude, Really helpful, I'll put you in the credits of my non-existent esports success.
Watch Aris if you want to get a really proper understanding of how to setup your car in ACC. As Chain Bear himself said , this video was just the basics
He even links to the main content in his video skipping past the advert. Chainbear you're such an asset to the F1 TH-cam community. Love all the work you've been putting in to improving animations and modelling.
Having been subscribed to your channel for over a year now, I've come to expect this quality in your videos. Yet it's worth reiterating how damn good you are at tackling complex concepts that no one else dare touches, managing to break them down and build them back up from simple fundamentals, and all of this while always finding the right balance between not losing your audience to unnecessary complex waffle while also not dumbing down the content quality. Your work is greatly appreciated, Stuart!
You're damn right. I had just watched before that a video on the official F1 channel about the exact same topic. The guy explaining may have been an expert but his diagrams were not clear, and throwing words like "anti-roll bars" without explaining what it is don't help, so in the end I didn't understand anything.
This is incredible. It feels like you can watch the sport for decades and never learn anything about how the suspension works. These last two videos have taught me so much about things I'd heard about but never really understood, and it only took 20 minutes.
I love this channel's contrast between in-depth understanding of the fundamentals of an F1 car, postulations about race and championship rules and arrangements, insights into the teams and their objectives and challenges and of course, tactfully placed aubergines during the season reviews.
Love everything about this except for "shifting center of mass." Dynamic load transfer due to acceleration, braking, or cornering is not caused by the CG moving around.
@@jozsefmolnar6453 I stopped using the term weight transfer years ago precisely because it's misleading. Load transfer is more accurate and less ambiguous.
Here you are explaining things in a way that is only going to further invest me in race weekend discussions. You always seem to strike the right amount of technical knowledge for me personally and I applaud you for that.
Under current regulation the fat tires do most of the work that should have gone to spring and damper. In 2022 they will use slimmer tires thats more raletive to road cars, they can't absorb as much energy as current tires, which means the suspention needs a full redesign.
I've been a racing fan for years but this is the first time I really fell like I can start to understand all the various suspension-related terminology. I'm not sure I can properly use it in my racing games YET, but I feel like I'd be a lot less random in my setups at least.
I didn't understand 90% of this video as i wasn't paying full attention, yet it was still so entertaining. Definitely will be rewatching later on to see what I missed :p
While I understand how F1 racing works, there are so many technologies i don't understand. These 3D animations really do bridge the gap in a way that's easy for everyone to understand. Good job mate
I think this is one of the best explanation-videos (in general) that I have ever seen! Truly detailed, with technological precision. Of course it demands some knowledge about mechanics, but given that, your video makes it really easy to find out how this element on a car actually works. Awesome!
Well done. I finally get a grip on suspension. My takeaway is..holy shmoley...so many design and setup variables, all more or less interacting and specific to a course...mind blown again.
If Mercedes used it in 2019 and 2018 it would have made winning the championship a lot easier as it allowed them to go fast in the corners and on straights without compromising set up, but because they were ridiculously dominant this year they didn't need to do it
I think a video about the regulations about the suspension could be interesting. I never understood why all the new suspension innovations that diver to much from the current setup are prevented, seems like you could do a lot of interesting developments in this area.
Nice animation and graphics, all I would add, is that static camber is used to ensure some camber remains at full cornering load to benefit from "camber thrust".
Load a few time trial setups for a few different tracks and you’ll notice a trend for most tracks. Lower front aero higher rear wing. Softer front springs and front sway bars. Stiffer rear suspensions and rear sway bars. Usually about 1-3 front and 7-10 rear( for suspension and anti roll bars). Ride height 2-3 or 2-4 Suspension geometry usually either right left left left or right right left left. Tyre pressures as low as possible. Basically just get a baseline set up from time trial and tune it to your liking
4:00 Forgot to mention side wall flex, so not as squarely as possible, the tyre should still have negative camber even after taking the roll into account to counter the tyre deformation due to all the lateral forces. The faster the corners & the more the downforce, the larger the camber. Also good to mention that rear tyres tend to have lot less or no camber at all. This is the trade off between cornering grip and acceleration grip as the rears are the powered wheels in case of F1. (FWD cars tend to have very aggressive rear camber as the rears main job is just to corner)
"to maximize how much tread meets the tarmac to prevent wear, degradation and temperature issues" YES! Finally someone who understands that more area doesn't increase friction.
I really hope ChainBear saw my top comment "suspense" joke on his last video and that's what inspired the suspense joke in the intro. That's the story I'm sticking with anyway.
3:20. those arent packers. They are just bumpstops. Packers or „spacers“ are small cylindrical things that slide under the bumpstops so that the car will hit the bumpstops sooner. If you want a detailed explanation watch aris drives and fatcad motorsports videos on bumpstops
Can you do some videos to do with the America’s Cup because I think some of the foil stuff and other parts of the boat would be pretty interesting, thanks :)
I'm just waiting for the next big step in suspension evolution: _Predictive_ Suspension Under the current rules they would be illegal, because changing setup during a lap is heavily regulated, but computer power should theoretically be there to not only load a profile, but rather gain live data from the car, which is then cross-referrenced with the position on track and gives an optimal suspension setup for the given situation.
@2:29 you say that the centre of mass shifts under braking. While a tiny bit of that occurs, it is completely insignificant. Load transfer to the front under braking is not due to shifting mass... and any dynamic load shift (to the front while braking, to the rear while accelerating, to the outside while cornering) is not due to any change in the position of the centre of mass.

^ This comment in a nutshell. Good stuff.
Your 3D graphics are starting to get really good! Can’t wait to see what you do with them next!
I think he'll do stuff with em
1 vote for getting fusion 360 and modeling an entire car for shits a gigs
what else can he do you ifiot
I think the content is fantastic but with a true 3d model this video would be spectacular
lol what its just some 3d space, not that good.

Thanks for releasing this so quickly and not keeping us in....'suspense'
better than being in flexure joints
thats a real pinch
I feel like dying after reading these...
Hahhahahahaha ha haa ha haha that’s funny
I'd been rolling with anticipation
Not funny it’s just the same joke
Stop trying to f l e x

Yes, absolutely. You can have extremely big weight transfer without almost any chassis roll or CoG movement.
@@jozsefmolnar6453 I stopped using the term weight transfer years ago precisely because it's misleading. Load transfer is more accurate and less ambiguous.
This has blown my mind. I didn’t really understand suspension until watching these two videos. Huge kudos to you, and thanks.
Mind blown, so much useful information. Liberty media really should hire you to make explanation videos like this on F1 weekends.
Here you are explaining things in a way that is only going to further invest me in race weekend discussions. You always seem to strike the right amount of technical knowledge for me personally and I applaud you for that.
Easily one of the best engineering explanation videos I have ever seen. Thank you!

A redesign? Not really. Some adaptation, yes.
These instructional videos are absolutely world-class. Thank you so much for the time and effort you put into these videos.

Simply best youtuber talking about techinical f1 aspects
I didn't understand 90% of this video as i wasn't paying full attention, yet it was still so entertaining.
Definitely will be rewatching later on to see what I missed :p
You are seriously under-recognized as a content creator and an educator. Awesome work.
Making your video on suspension into a cliff hanger is what left us in suspense

Have been wondering all this time what a heave spring does. Now I do. Thanks to Chain Bear. Awesome
These videos are sooooo well made! This just made my day so much better!
I'm just glad to see, that someone really puts a lot of effort in his videos
Brilliant! Chain Bear back to doing awesome videos
I was longing for an explanation of what the different setup parameters in a F1 car mean while playing the game in my pc!! And here I am!!
This is the best and easiest explaination for this type of suspension setup, very well done.
I now finally understand anti-roll bars, thank you so much
It bewilders me how you don't have 1M+ subs by now. Your presentation style is awesome, and your explanations both in depth and easy to follow.
Well done. I finally get a grip on suspension. My takeaway is..holy shmoley...so many design and setup variables, all more or less interacting and specific to a course...mind blown again.
This is one of your best vids ever, and by far the best explanation of F1 suspension I've ever seen! Love your work @ChainBear!! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Can you do a video like: "Was DAS any good?".
Would be interesting!
If Mercedes used it in 2019 and 2018 it would have made winning the championship a lot easier as it allowed them to go fast in the corners and on straights without compromising set up, but because they were ridiculously dominant this year they didn't need to do it
Ja, DAS ist gut
(I'll get my coat)
@@gbspikyfish reminds me of disco panzer
CB: an excellent tutorial, easily understood. Kudos.
Great video! I've been dreaming of building a racecar and the visuals helped me grasp the fundamentals of suspensions clearly.
Thanks for the excellent explanation. I was aware of the terms but hadn't really ever tried to understand their interaction before.
Incredibly high quality video in both content and animation. Keep up the good work.
truly exceptional visual education. i cannot believe how talented u are at this!
@F1 hire that man for your TH-cam to help bring the technical side of the sport to the viewers
Glad you're feeling a little better, Stuart. Also had a Jan to forget...onwards and keep up the good work 👍
Nobody:
Chain Bear: Ｃｙｂｅｒｓｅｃｃ
Now I understood what Anti roll bars to do the car, both in F1 and in iRacing, thank you! :)
I think a video about the regulations about the suspension could be interesting. I never understood why all the new suspension innovations that diver to much from the current setup are prevented, seems like you could do a lot of interesting developments in this area.
Great animations, I found these extremely clear!
Would love it if you could do more videos on the advanced suspension setups that you hinted at towards the end of the video!
Nice animation and graphics, all I would add, is that static camber is used to ensure some camber remains at full cornering load to benefit from "camber thrust".
Just subscribed to this channel. I wish I found it earlier, I’m going to be binging all these videos. Great stuff man!
I now understand some of the numbers on my F1 20 setup. Cheers! 👍
thank you for the time stamps
Yet I still can't setup my car in F1 2020 correctly.
Suspension is pretty tricky but I finally figured out differentials and brake bias
These really won't help you
a better driver..is better than tons of setup i learned a lot of setup and master it but still cannot control the car

In 2020 downforce is really good for time, highly recommend more downforce than previous years

Wonderfully explained. As ever. (and you're clearly an AE maven too!) Thanks a gazllion CB!
Wow, tks a lot for this video, probably one of the best video available, easily understandble with awesome drawning animations! Tks a lot
Thanks Stewart, I wanted to know more and nowI do
This is the first time in my life i've ever actually understood formula 1 suspensions.
Man your videos are amazing and well detailed. Keep up the good work fella.
"to maximize how much tread meets the tarmac to prevent wear, degradation and temperature issues"
YES! Finally someone who understands that more area doesn't increase friction.
...it does do that too though. The coulomb model is an oversimplification for soft elastomers like racing tyres
@@grahamsnyder762 its not a perfectly linear relationship but its also not that far off from what I could find
Turns on F12020 while watching Chainbear
“Hopefully these will help you understand suspension talk during F1 race weekends”
yeeeesssss.......
Very informative. F1 suspension has always baffled me. Not any more!
What a quality video. Very well explained 👌
Brilliant video!
More technical videos please!!
Great video!!! please make more on suspension
Honestly, so so so so good!! Well done!!
Hello Chain Bear- can you please share a video on why current F1 cars are so much more in sizes than the ones in the start of 2000s?
I really hope ChainBear saw my top comment "suspense" joke on his last video and that's what inspired the suspense joke in the intro.
That's the story I'm sticking with anyway.
3:20. those arent packers. They are just bumpstops. Packers or „spacers“ are small cylindrical things that slide under the bumpstops so that the car will hit the bumpstops sooner. If you want a detailed explanation watch aris drives and fatcad motorsports videos on bumpstops
I've seen packers in NASCAR, but those usually are wedged into the springs at a certain point to change the stiffness of that spring.
Starting off with a pun, lovely
thanks man, really helps me a lot
Amazing presentation.
I enjoyed the video! I have many ideas now for mt trophy truck project
Excellent presentation!
This was great. Thanks Chain Bear. Could you do a video on the tunned mass damper that Reaunlt invented in 2005? I would love to see that.
Just in time! Have to design the williams car in a few days. Thanks for the explanation
s!
I'm once again asking you to publish your 2021 F1 predictions
Love f1 racing bro
as always , great work. next do what is special about F1 car paint :p
Amazing as always!
Over the next summer break I might try and make a go kart using this information
The little anti roll bar is kinda cute ngl
Can you do some videos to do with the America’s Cup because I think some of the foil stuff and other parts of the boat would be pretty interesting, thanks :)
Brilliant video
I just watch this to get better understanding of my F1 2020 setups
no setup will let you keep your wing at Monaco
VERY VERY EDUCATIVE.
Centre of mass doesn't change under braking. The braking force causes a torque which is then balanced result in an uneven load of the car
Really enjoyed this thanks !
awww, you are back :)
How about a part 3 on suspension tricks of the past, e.g. Active Suspension, the Renault tuned mass dampers, etc.?
fantastic video!
Have you done a video on Diffusers? Maybe do an updated on on the McClaren and new regs?
Nice! Well done
Next on Cooling systems of F1 cars
Great video

quick note, I don't believe that the center of mass changes under acceleration, there is just a load transfer, the center of mass is a constant point.
