Rules Formula Coefficent

[Erick Scarpone]

Hi dudes does anyone knows were the 2.012 comes from, havent found anything like it in the few books I have and I was reading again the rules and I came up with this on the following Skid Pad Rule:


5.5.8 Skid-Pad Scoring
The skid-pad score is computed based upon the lateral acceleration
capability. Lateral acceleration (typically referred to as G's) is computed
from 2.012 diameter/t2. A diameter of 17.10 m will be assumed in computing
lateral G's. If there are two separate skid-pad locations, then the score will be
based on the best run from either skid-pad.


Thanks for all the help!!! Good luck to you all!!!

Derivation (in meters & seconds):

lat g = v^2/R/9.81

sub dist/time for V, dist = Pi*D/t

lat g = 2Pi^2*D/t^2/9.81

factoring out the constants:

lat g = constant*(D/t^2)

constant = 2Pi^2/9.81 = 2.012
