Abstract
A design guide for vehicles is presented, including considerations of vehicle dynamics and vehicle performance. The various aspects of vehicle design are both qualitatively and quantitatively discussed, including presentation of the relevant theory, governing equations, and design options of interest for a small race car such as a Formula SAE vehicle. Relevant conclusions drawn from the theoretical analysis are presented.
