Car dynamics

I am writting a car game but need some information on modelling car dynamics to help with acceleration braking weight shifting cornering (skidding around corners) etc. and also how these would relate to various cars such as touring cars formula one cars indy cars normal road cars

The undisputed "Bible" is "Race Car Vehicle Dynamics" by Bill and Doug Milliken. Dave Kaemmer and the Papyrus crew relied on this book heavily while they were writing GPL. For aerodynamics, I would reccomend "Aerodynamics of Road Vehicles" by Wolf-Heinrich Hucho and "Race Car Aerodynamics: Designing for Speed" by Joseph Katz. -- Bill Mette | "A person is smart.

does anyone have a car dynamics model of a racing car for use in a game ?
