umm... i wish it was that simple...
Take the new Mclaren MP4-12C... Its magnet is saig to be 160g or so... the car is 85g...
The pull of the magnet will depend how much is over a "magnetic surface" and how far it is held away from it...
Unfortunately different cars have the magnet differing distances from the track a 10th of a mm is enough to change the amount of "pull"...
The methods for calculation are beyond me... wikipedia shows the calculations that are way beyond me to simplify.
Not very helpful in answering the question but at least gives the thread a bump...
