Robbie,
they should give better roadholding.
Low frequencies appear on uneven roads (undulations), upon cornering, breaking and so on. If the damping rate is high under these conditions, the ground clearance and the leveling of the car can be maintained within close limits.
To the contrary, higher frequencies occur at higher speeds due to imperfections of the road surface for example like edges between two adjacent surfaces. A low damping rate is desirable to keep these frequencies away from the chassis. To a race car that means that such influence is not introduced into the tyre alone or into the chassis, but is absorbed in the shock absorber. This should indeed improve the roadholding because you no longer have to find a compromise for a single damping rate addressing these two conditions. And it works without electronics which is essential to most race formulas.
I posted this because I´d like to see ideas for applications and maybe someone is interested in developing or using a first prototype, if there are race enthusiasts around. Or any technical comments, maybe.
And I´m not offended in any way.
Greetings from sunny and cold Germany,
