F1-02 downforce

[NaN]

There has beens some discussion about tire limits: http://vdrift.net/Forum/viewtopic.php?t=1645

I did some testing with the F1-02 "vdrift -debug" and noticed that the rear wheels are going to exceed an upper limit of 10kN -> 1000kg.

Of course one can argue that F1 tires are going to have stiffer sidewalls than usual passenger car tires. We need to check the force curves in the pacejka editor to get the load limit. I'll add a max load parameter to the tire config.

Now to the downforce:
speed: 320km/h
front tire load: 6.292N 33%
rear tire load: 11.620N 67%
front lift: -9527N 33%
rear lift: -19055N 67%
car weight: 738kg
tire load: 3650kg
tire load factor: 5

The distribution looks ok: 33/67. But the downforce numbers look a bit too big. What I've been able to pick up online is about 1700kg half of our values.
