 A good friend found these in the loft and thought I might find some use for them.
 There was some interesting software came with them. Transputers! Occam!
 And levels of brownness not seen since the 1970's.
 This one cleaned up ok though.

Handling and Tyre wear patterns

-

Racing last night at Bashley the car was still quite unstable. For the last few races I have been changing one setting at a time to pin down which are making improvements. So far I've stiffened the front springs, moved the shock positions on the rear and toed out the steering a little. The car was better but still quite hard to tame the back end.. If you look closely at the tyres you can just about make out that the insides of the tyres are a little duller meaning that the majority of the cars weight has been on the insides even during dynamic handling. This is a big clue to start looking at the camber adjustments. Camber is the angle of the wheel relative to the track looking from the front of the car. 0 degrees means the wheel is dead vertical. -5 degrees means the top of the wheel is angled toward the centreline of the car. A little negative camber can be useful, but evidently I had too much. I rather unscientifically reduced the amount and in the next heat the car was ...

Python Dependency Injection

  Python: importing settings or dependency injection Two common approaches to configuring a python application are importing settings and dependency injection. Importing settings involves creating a settings module or file that contains all the values and configurations needed for your application to run. These settings can then be imported into other modules and used directly. The advantage of this approach is that it is simple and easy to understand, and can work for small projects. The disadvantage is that it increases coupling to the settings module and to the way that those settings are collected. It also makes it harder to unit test a module or class without having to resort to mocking the settings module in some way. Dependency injection involves passing dependencies (such as settings) into a class as parameters, typically using a class method that sets some class variables. The advantage of this is that the class needs no knowledge of the settings module or ho...
