In the NASCAR race series, there is the Talladega circuit, which has a turn with a radius of 300 m on the horizontal plane. The angle of inclination of the curve is 33º. For our calculations, we will take the coefficient of static friction between the tires of a car and the road at 0.75. The safety car (pace car) controls the speed of the race cars during yellow flag incidents. d) What is the ideal speed at which the pace car should enter the corner? e) What is the maximum speed a race car can take the corner without skidding? f) The actual speed of the pace car is set at 113 km/h. How does this feel to the drivers?
