Tire performance curves (cornering force, aligning moment)
Robert Di Cristoforo
that give cornering force and aligning moment as a function of slip
angle and vertical load?

Racer uses car.ini files which contains Pacejka sets. Some may have
been tweaked to get a somewhat different tire, but they're mostly
based on about 5 base sets. Try www.racer-xtreme.com and download some
cars to get some Pacejka sets (note I'm using quite an old Pacejka
formula with a, b and c coefficients.
You can see a (half-finished) explanation of the formula at

Good luck, (good data on this is hard to come by)

Hi Sebastien,
Our HTTP is down for the most part, but a query did manage to get
this:
Tyre and Vehicle Dynamics (although it may also be called Tyre
Mechanics & Vehicle Dynamics; the first print actually had the words
Mechanics and Dynamics switched, so that never got released :) ).
Surprised you hadn't heard about it yet.
Happy reading (I must start reading it one day; it's well, somewhere
in my house ;-) ).
