Thanks for the reply Mender. It'd mainly be for top gear and there's few corners where you're maxed out in top gear so it should be fine.

Race car and changing the actual ratios. For example, car has w,x,y,z gear ratios in so that the engine is hitting the limiter at the end of a straight, if it then gets a 5km/h head wind I'd like to be able to work out how many teeth I'd need to go down on the final gear (z).

Hi All, I'm looking for a set of equations to allow me to calculate gearing changes based on a known tail/head wind speed, anyone got any starting points? 4 speed transmission and a fixed engine output. Cheers,
