Physics 101 Explains Why Custom-Molded Steering Wheels
Are Superior.
On pavement, it boils down to the Friction Circle, and the driver's ability to play with the limit more confidently via an improved signal-to-noise ratio.
For most other applications, you're transforming your mode of communication from friction to leverage.
...and you throught steering wheels were so simple.
Stay tuned....and don't forget to learn: Racing Wheel Theory.
Ed Dellis -- The Steering Wheel Guy -- Racer, Engineer, Inventor, Journalist, and Artist.
It's a safe arguement to say that no one has designed more steering wheel grips than The Steering Wheel Guy.
As of this writing, 752 serial-numbered steering wheel grips have been designed and developed by Dellis, worldwide.
His customers read like a Who's Who in motorsports including: Fittipaldi, Schumacher, Rahal, Mansell, Villeneuve, Andretti, Luyendyke, Franchitti, Castroneves, Villwock, Seebold, just to name a few...and that's just F1, IndyCar, and the Unlimiteds.
The idea for PersonaGrip occurred to Dellis in the mid-80's aboard a turbocharged motorcycle, flat-out.
Arm-pump -- from hanging on so tightly -- was the inspiration.
But, it would be DECADES later while driving his own Lister Corvette (http://www.ListerCorvette.com) that Dellis realized -- and felt -- why the world's top drivers in:
- IndyCar
- Formula One (cars and boats)
- LeMans & ALMS
- NASCAR
- Trans-Am
- Unlimited Hydros
...were asking for his work.
