I didn´t follow the developers-discussion, but i worried about this result.
Not a good idea because:
- masses an inertia may vary between steel-wheels/normal tyre and cart wheels/slick and rally car or a formula car,
- the result of weight, inertia computation is completely intransparent (can´t add masses in .car-file to totalweight) and
- the unsprung parts of suspension/brakes are unconsidered!

Please allow:
Code:
[wheel-n]
mass = 20
inertia = 0.04
...as optional parameter. Not in 'wheel-n' defined parameter are computed!
