I didn't ever see any "good" models for camber grip effects, so I just did a
simple curve fit to some (not enough, of course) data... with radial tires
the lateral grip will be highest when the tire is leaning several degrees
into the direction of turn, so your function will also have to take into
account slip angle/slip ratio as well as camber. I think RCVD probably has
some sample graphs of this effect.
For temperature, wouldn't you want something like:
input_power = brake_torque * wheel_angular_velocity
energy = (air_temperature - temperature) * radiation_factor * airflow +
input_power
temperature += energy/(mass*specific_heat) * delta_t
(i.e., cooling/heating rate is proportional to the difference between object
and ambient temperature... constants thrown in as needed, as I just pulled
this out of thin air...)
