I need some info on the Mclaren F1 can you help?

[mvrick208]

I need to find some information such as suspension geometry on the Mclaren F1 road car but I can't find much. Can you guys tell me anything you know such as toe, caster angle, camber etc ? The problem is most google searches bring up Formula 1 rather than Mclaren F1 road car.Is there a car similar to the F1 that will have a similar suspension geometry more readily available ?

Any help/info will be much appreciated. Even if you can tell me what to search for or where to look. I can't even find tyre pressures because the manual does not exist on the internet since they were different for every car. It is for my assignment just to let you know. Thank you very much in advance.

Opps sorry formatting didn't work will try and clear it up
Road car
castor 4 deg, Camber front 1.75 deg, camber rear 0.75 deg, toe out front 3mm, toe in rear 4mm, king pin 9 deg, mech trail 19mm

Cant vouch for the accuracy but that was what I managed to dig up or was given several years ago.

I will just leave this here. It seems it pretty much covers all of the normal suspension geometry.

Thanks for all your replies guys. I also found a copy of the driving ambition mclaren f1 book online. I am posting it here just in case someone needs it. I found it on this forum.

That document states the suspension geometry under braking and traction. I don't know if it is the same when the car is stationary?

Actually it may have been either Webslinger or Leman who gave me the initial information been so long back I can't remember.
