1. A method for controlling a handling characteristic of a vehicle, comprising:
- ascertaining setpoint values that are assigned to controlled variables; and
measuring forces at wheels of the vehicle, wherein;
the controlled variables include at least one of a lateral force at a center of gravity of the vehicle and a torque about a vertical axis of the vehicle, actual values associated with the setpoint values are calculated from the forces measured at the wheels of the vehicle, and the ascertained setpoint values and the calculated actual values are used as input values of a control system.

Abstract
A method for controlling the handling characteristics of a vehicle, including the steps of ascertaining setpoint values that are associated with specific controlled variables, and measuring forces at wheels of the vehicle, the controlled variables being forces or torques, actual values associated with the setpoint values being calculated from the forces measured at the wheels of the vehicle, and the ascertained setpoint values and the calculated actual values being used as input values of a control system. Also described is a system for controlling the handling characteristics of a vehicle.
