Thread: Lap simulation

  1. #1
    Is there any software that lets you simulate concepts of a car i.e. track/wheelbase, CoG and the usual inputs, for generic typical FSAE circuit layouts?

    I've not tried it myself but I expect it fits what you're after.

    Optimum Lap is a point mass simulator.

    Geez sorry guys!! I've had OptimumLap for ages, im just trying to double check some stuff, and was asking around for any options. Please, do relax the tone as its my first year and if you do this the newbies you'll scare them away from asking anything.. But thanks anyway for the input!

    Lol if you read around on the forums you'll see why we are so skeptical.

    Usually it's something like this"

    Yeah totally understand you! I've seen them around the forums quite a lot! We have quite a good idea of how we're going round stuff at this point and things looking up! But I wanted the different Lap Sims to see if i could do some primitive data collection exercise with my kart, to compare laps and techniques and such...it was more of a personal question to be honest.
