Using Doppler tracking and two-way ranging, scientists added earlier measurements from the " Viking " landers to determine that the non-hydrostatic component of the polar moment of inertia is due to the Tharsis bulge and that the interior is not melted.

From inception, the design of the F1 vehicle had strong focus on centering the mass of the car as near the middle as possible by extensive manipulation of placement of, inter alia, the engine, fuel and driver, allowing for a low polar moment of inertia in yaw.

Weighing, with a iron block and head engine positioned near the car's polar moment of inertia for responsive turn pivoting, a Hewland 5-spd . magnesium transaxle, and 10 in wide 13 in front / 20 in wide 15 in rear magnesium wheels, it produced incredibly exciting racing.

The Enzo allows for a very wide track due to the extreme offset wheels and low center of gravity with quite a bit of steering bite due to the extreme nose on the car, while the McLaren offers lightweight and very dynamic, nimble handling . 94mm chassis are also popular for racing due to lower polar moment of inertia and weight distribution.
