Time is running out to register for our Data Driven Performance Engineering Seminar in Lincoln, NE, June 22-25.
Success in racing requires more than experience and vehicle dynamics knowledge....
Jim,
I see that no one from UCONN racing is signed up for the Michigan (or Lincoln) seminar. Why not?
-Susanne
Jim,
The pricing for the Michigan and Lincoln seminars is as follows:
• Early bird rate for one student for one seminar: $505.75; normal rate $595.00
• Early bird rate for a group of three or...
WEVE ADDED MORE SEATS AND EXTENDED EARLY BIRD REGISTRATION THROUGH FRIDAY, MAY 2!
Register now for the OptimumG Applied Vehicle Dynamics seminar at the University of Michigan on May 18-21 and/or...
The 2014 OptimumG seminar calendar is now posted at https://optimumg-seminars.herokuapp.com/
Our Applied Vehicle Dynamics seminar will be held in the United States, Russia, Canada, Austria,...
Hi Everyone,
I hope you are making great progress on this year’s designs!
Many of you have received information regarding the OptimumG “Applied Vehicle Dynamics” seminar and shown a lot of...
Brian, I believe we spoke about this a little a bit at FSAE-Nebraska.
The typical process of solving a given combination of beta (body slip angle) and delta (steering angle) for a fixed vehicle...
Hi Karam,
Thanks for asking! We typically hold our seminar in the UK prior to the Autosport show in January. We are planning to come back to the UK in 2014, however it will be for our Advanced...
Hi Everyone,
I hope those of you competing in Lincoln have had many hours of testing and are ready to get on the road!
Many of you have already received information regarding the NEWEST...
Hi Everyone,
Incase you havent heard, OptimumG is offering $200 off our new seminar Data Driven Performance Engineering. Attend the Applied Vehicle Dynamics seminar after the Michigan...
Kevin, that is correct. You can use which ever values you like, although it is common to set the frontal area to 1 and to just use the corresponding Cl*A / Cd*A values.
As Julian mentions, as long...
Hi Kevin,
You are correct, indeed we do. The aerodynamic inputs for OptimumLap are constant downforce and drag coefficients, as well as the total frontal area (reference area) and the air density....
Hone your skills before the competitions! This is the last chance to attend our vehicle dynamics seminar in Europe before the competitions begin this year!
We have partnered with Chalmers...
Just to add a little further to my previous post - still no ETA on a new update of OptimumLap, but we have put together a bit of a case study on the upcoming USGP F1 race at the Circuit of the...
kcouranz: Yes, you're correct - the fuel consumption metric is based off the energy used, the thermal efficiency and the energy density of the chosen fuel. We're only calculating this energy used...
Yes please, we can't replicate it on our end - if you could contact me directly on pete.ringwood@optimumg.com, we can get this sorted out.
We're looking a fix right now, we should be able to get one out by the end of the day.
* Edit *
Just an update, we've fixed this, we'll roll out an update first thing tomorrow morning.
* Edit...
The assumed vehicle weight on the driven tyres is 50% for "2WD" and 100% for "AWD". Aero is one factor that needs to be zeroed if you are looking to get a longitudinal acceleration 50% * TireLongG,...
Surjan, As Stefan mentioned, in this case it relates to the load sensitivity of the model. Running a sweep of simulations and changing the mass for each one - without updating the tyre grip levels -...
Hi Everyone!
The seminar will be held at Victoria University, December 11-14. We have added a fourth day that will be focused on simulation and analyzing the data from the simulator.
For more...
Stefan - Oops. Apologies about that one, it's fixed now: http://share.optimumg.com/tracks/convert/

Just an update, you can now head to our website and convert your logged data (speed and lateral acceleration) to an OptimumLap track format. We also greatly encourage you to upload your vehicles and...
Paul - the engine torque is given at the crank. If you've gathered this data on a chassis dyno (at the wheel), you'll want to set your drive efficiency to 100%, as your measurements will already...
Stefan - We are in the process of opening up the track database to allow anyone to submit tracks to it, or to convert their own logged data to an OptimumLap track. We'll also be adding the ability to...
