Editing Chassis and suspension design (section)

=== Anti-Dive Model ===

During braking, the front suspension compresses due to weight transfer. Anti-dive resists this using suspension geometry.

<math>
\%_{\text{Anti-Dive}} = \left( \frac{Z_{\text{IC}}}{h_{\text{CG}}} \right) \cdot \frac{a_{\text{long}}}{g} \cdot 100
</math>

Where:
* <math>Z_{\text{IC}}</math> = vertical distance from ground to Instantaneous Centre (typically 120–150 mm)
* <math>h_{\text{CG}}</math> = CG height (~310 mm for 2024 cars)
* <math>a_{\text{long}}</math> = longitudinal deceleration (1.7–2.0 g)

Effective range: 30–45%  
Higher values reduce pitch but can reduce front load feel and exacerbate tyre flat-spotting under longitudinal lock.
