They result in neutral steering behaviour and a linear build - up of lateral force up to the car's dynamic limits.

If necessary, the engine torque is reduced and a short burst of full braking is applied to the appropriate wheel to immediately limit lateral force, providing improved roll stability

At the same time, the lateral force on the rear wheels builds up considerably faster when changing direction, which makes the response to steering inputs quicker.

At the same time, the lateral force on the rear wheels builds up considerably faster on changes of direction, thus improving the response to the steering.

There's a small degree of initial lean on the entry to corners as the chassis loads up with lateral force.

Interestingly, the eye - watering 7:27.88 second lap of the Nürburgring the M4 GTS set was with the aero set to full track mode — helping to achieve up to 1.4 g of lateral force — but with the suspension running on street settings to deal with the lumps and bumps.

The mostly carbon - fiber body isn't like an open - wheel, open - top F1 car, and the suspension is different, too, though Mercedes - AMG sourced a lot of the same suppliers, including Multimatic for its «roll and heave» pushrods, which stand in for anti-roll bars by countering each other under lateral force.

Heavy loads led to changes indicating superior increases in contraction speed, although whether their findings indicated a change in muscle fiber type, an increase in lateral force transmission, or a change in single fiber properties is unclear.

This suggests that increases in specific tension most likely occur by way of an increase in lateral force transmission.

This is probably because increases in specific tension happen through increases in lateral force transmission.

Since strength is specific, then: strength training developing horizontal or lateral force production should lead to superior gains in COD ability than strength training developing vertical force production only.

Increases in the capacity for lateral force transmission through an increased number of costameres probably partly explain how strength is increased to a greater extent than muscle size after strength training (Erskine et al. 2011).

This suggests that changes in lateral force transmission capability are triggered by the magnitude of the mechanical loading.

Logically, if the superior effect of heavy loads occurs because of greater increases in specific tension, and if specific tension is caused by increases in lateral force transmission capability, then heavier loads must lead to greater changes in lateral force transmission.
