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 RUclips 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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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!
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)
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.
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".
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
"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.
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 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.
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.

@@288gto7 true, but gives a very good basis onto which build up confidence
@@leonardototaro266 yeah it does
@@leonardototaro266 yeah, I now build on this well explained video. Already feeling good with some of my setups.
^ 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
Except his torsion bar is running the wrong way.
He even links to the main content in his video skipping past the advert. Chainbear you're such an asset to the F1 RUclips community. Love all the work you've been putting in to improving animations and modelling.
Now we just need the novel anti roll bars in the description
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

I can hear u explaning f1 concepts for hours, cheers.

Yes, absolutely. You can have extremely big weight transfer without almost any chassis roll or CoG movement.

A redesign? Not really. Some adaptation, yes.

This has blown my mind. I didn’t really understand suspension until watching these two videos. Huge kudos to you, and thanks.
Remember folks, always watch the newest video first, then go back to see what the feck you missed
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.
These instructional videos are absolutely world-class. Thank you so much for the time and effort you put into these videos.
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
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
Simply best youtuber talking about techinical f1 aspects
You are seriously under-recognized as a content creator and an educator. Awesome work.
Easily one of the best engineering explanation videos I have ever seen. Thank you!
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
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!! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
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.
Incredibly high quality video in both content and animation. Keep up the good work.
Great video! I've been dreaming of building a racecar and the visuals helped me grasp the fundamentals of suspensions clearly.
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
Brilliant! Chain Bear back to doing awesome videos
This is the best and easiest explaination for this type of suspension setup, very well done.
Have been wondering all this time what a heave spring does. Now I do. Thanks to Chain Bear. Awesome

Wow, tks a lot for this video, probably one of the best video available, easily understandble with awesome drawning animations! Tks a lot
Man your videos are amazing and well detailed. Keep up the good work fella.
CB: an excellent tutorial, easily understood. Kudos.
truly exceptional visual education. i cannot believe how talented u are at this!

Glad you're feeling a little better, Stuart. Also had a Jan to forget...onwards and keep up the good work 👍
Just subscribed to this channel. I wish I found it earlier, I’m going to be binging all these videos. Great stuff man!
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.
Thanks for the excellent explanation. I was aware of the terms but hadn't really ever tried to understand their interaction before.
Wonderfully explained. As ever. (and you're clearly an AE maven too!) Thanks a gazllion CB!
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.
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!!
Now I understood what Anti roll bars to do the car, both in F1 and in iRacing, thank you! :)
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".
Nobody:
Chain Bear: Cybersecc
What a quality video. Very well explained 👌
I now finally understand anti-roll bars, thank you so much
Making your video on suspension into a cliff hanger is what left us in suspense
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.
Honestly, so so so so good!! Well done!!
Would love it if you could do more videos on the advanced suspension setups that you hinted at towards the end of the video!
I now understand some of the numbers on my F1 20 setup. Cheers! 👍
This is the first time in my life i've ever actually understood formula 1 suspensions.
Great video!!! please make more on suspension
Thanks Stewart, I wanted to know more and nowI do
thanks man, really helps me a lot
I enjoyed the video! I have many ideas now for mt trophy truck project
@F1 hire that man for your RUclips to help bring the technical side of the sport to the viewers
thank you for the time stamps
"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
Very informative. F1 suspension has always baffled me. Not any more!
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.
Amazing presentation.
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?
Why this is not shownig in the channel
14 hours ago ?
@@MrJollof yeah whats going on? XD
You are a diffrent gravy, my guy.
What?? I mean, is he a hacker??😂
I assume you're a patron? Patrons have videos released (unlisted) a day or so early
Just in time! Have to design the williams car in a few days. Thanks for the explanation
s!
Turns on F12020 while watching Chainbear
“Hopefully these will help you understand suspension talk during F1 race weekends”
yeeeesssss.......
Amazing as always!
Brilliant video!
More technical videos please!!
Excellent presentation!
Brilliant video
Very informative, nice videos
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 :)
Really enjoyed this thanks !
fantastic video!
Nice! Well done
as always , great work. next do what is special about F1 car paint :p
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
awww, you are back :)
Great video
also Great video .. thank you again
wish you all the best
Excellent!! Thank you
Thanks for this
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.
Great VID !!!
I'm once again asking you to publish your 2021 F1 predictions
Love f1 racing bro
Quality 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.
VERY VERY EDUCATIVE.
Over the next summer break I might try and make a go kart using this information
I'm just waiting for the next big step in suspension evolution: _Predictive_ Suspension

Have you done a video on Diffusers? Maybe do an updated on on the McClaren and new regs?
How about a part 3 on suspension tricks of the past, e.g. Active Suspension, the Renault tuned mass dampers, etc.?
Great. Thanks
Oh Chain Bear of the youtube, how are you so in tune with the ways of Formula one?
(did you use to work with any racing team)
Starting off with a pun, lovely
