why most of the rear wheel drive cars have front track width wider than rear?
as far as i know it may because.
1.it will help in autocross and skid pad because if front wheels take the turn easily then rear wheels will have less chance to hit any hindrance.
2.since the weight is more on rear wheels ,we want the more load transfer should take place in rear ,i give you an example why i think so.suppose we have a car with with following situations
static condition
rear wheel=100kg load
front wheel=80kg load
now the weight transfer should not exceed beyond 100 kg in rear and 80kg in front,because if it happens then vehicle can topple.
3.also i read somewhere that this will help to change direction more quickly i dont know why.
but by doing this we tend to go to oversteer condition.
can anyone tell me the reason ??
