Brake
hard into a turn...then nail the throttle and send the engine through its
power curve until it reaches peak engine rpm...once again slam on the brakes
and dive into the next turn...now, repeat this one hundred times! Evaluating
suspension, tires, gear ratios, camshafts, headers, and the hundreds other
components that make up a competitive road-course vehicle is an expensive
and never-ending job. FastLap2003 lets you accurately simulate vehicle
components, try unique combinations, and test the entire race car before you
twist a single wrench. And it’s fun, too!
Software Overview:
FastLap2003 accurately simulates the unimaginably complex interaction of
forces, speeds, and accelerations generated by any stock, high-performance,
or all-out race vehicle.
A
comprehensive step-by-step analysis of the interrelated physics is performed
during every increment of vehicle motion (full analysis is completed 1000
times per second!). FastLap2003 derives an optimum driving path, braking
points and forces, aerodynamics, throttle positions, transmission gears,
shift-up and shift-down points, steering input, driver error, and more!
Further analysis determines the best possible elapsed time for any track.
Change any component in seconds and run
back-to-back tests to “home in” on the ultimate setup for any vehicle and
track. Accurate, easy-to-use, state-of-the-art and great fun; Fastlap2003 is
an awesome simulation that, we are sure, will become the most valuable
addition to your racer’s toolkit.
User
Interface And Features:
FastLap2003 incorporates Motion Software’s new user interface built from the
ground-up for Windows95/98/Me and Windows2003/XP. Our eye-popping “XP” look
boasts QuickAccess™ buttons and DirectClick™ menus that let
you change parts simply by clicking on any component. Nothing could be
easier! Analyze vehicle speed, lateral or longitudinal G's,
rpms, damper forces, suspension movement, tire loads, and much more.
View race results in full-color graphics. All data and graphs can be printed
(and previewed) in color on any Windows printer. Even model several vehicles
at once; just click on a Vehicle Selection Tab to focus on any
vehicle you choose.
FastLap2003
also includes a Track Window that provides an “overhead” view of
real-time vehicle movement (understeer, oversteer, and all!).
Watch as your test vehicle
traverses every straightaway and turn and remains
fully synchronized with comprehensive telemetry
displayed on
the results graphs. Zoom-in and out on both Track and Telemetry to uncover
every nuance of vehicle performance. FastLap2003 provides a real-time G-G
Diagram that graphically indicates the sum of all forces acting on the
vehicle. Each dot on the G-G Diagram indicates the equivalent force on the
vehicle at each 0.001-second throughout the timed lap. A quick glance
reveals whether vehicle was able to maintain its maximum G “envelope”
throughout the course. Use this data, and the extensive chassis-tuning
information provided in the over 160-page, color, Users Manual, to build the
ultimate vehicle for any asphalt, closed-course track.
The Track Editor™:
You can run any vehicle you design on any
of
the 40+ built-in tracks (includes many of the World’s best-known race
courses). Or design any track you can dream up using a fully-graphic Track
Editor™! This powerful “application” built into Fastlap2003 lets you
construct any track with any number of turns, turn radii, straightaway
lengths, track widths, and more. Simply place corner points and the Track
Editor draws the interconnecting track. Set the corner radii, fine tune the
track points, and take your test vehicle for a “spin.” Build any track from
a parking-lot autocross to a multi-mile twister! Build an imaginary track,
or precisely construct a real-world track for methodical testing. Either
way, the Track Editor expands the modeling capabilities of Fastlap2003 to
limits of your imagination!
Keep
It Simple:
But the incredible modeling power in FastLap2003 is only the beginning.
Motion Software carefully designed this simulation so that it
shows you exactly the level of detail you would like to see. Start out with
an easy-to-read, Pop-Up Lap-Time Slip™ that offers an instant summary
of the performance potential of any vehicle. Or open the SimData™ window for
a more in-depth view of vehicle data. Move the reticule on the data display,
and the SimData window shows the exact numerical values for over 60
vehicle measurements, including speed, lat and lon Gs, rpm, hp, torque, yaw,
pitch, roll, yaw rate, body drag, body lift, front and rear wing lift and
drag, throttle, brake, steering input, trans gear, suspension compliance,
spring forces, damper velocities, slip angles, and much more! Dig even
deeper and zoom in on the data display analyze vehicle movement in minute
detail. It’s all up to you.
Compatibility:
Since the FastLap2003 accepts Dyno2003
engine test files (you can also manually enter any engine power curves), it
is possible to test various engine components and measure their on-track
effects. Imagine changing a camshaft then running a track analysis of the
new power curve in just minutes! In the time it takes for you to dream up a
new combination, you can perform an "on track" test and analyze the results!
New ProTools™ Kit:
While all essential features are
included in the Advanced version of FastLap2003, professional builders and
serious enthusiasts need all the modeling power they can get. The optional
ProTools™ Kit extends the functionality of many FastLap2003 features.
It includes the Real-Time Data Display™ to view the simulation
actually calculating the best speeds, braking points, etc, DataZones™
to give you the most graphing and data analysis power possible, ProData™
includes extended vehicle performance data, including individual wheel
telemetry, Track Segments that analyze performance through individual
sections of the course, a Spring/Damper Calculator™ that helps you
pick the optimum shocks and gear ratios, and ProPrinting™ that
delivers a comprehensive test report that includes your name, address,
company logo, glossaries, and all ProData™ values. If you're serious
about road racing analysis, consider a ProTools™ addition to
FastLap2003. See Order Form
for pricing info.
Users Manual:
FastLap2003 is supplied with a full-color,
160-page, on-disk Users Manual (directly accessible from within FastLap2003)
that details the features of this comprehensive simulation. If you wish, you
can download a copy of this manual to preview the capabilities of this
software before you buy! Jump to our
Support Page
to download the FastLap2003 manual (and, if necessary, Adobe Reader to view
the manual on your PC).
Requirements:
The FastLap2003 runs on any IBM-compatible
PC computer using Windows95/98/NT/2000/Me/XP. FastLap2003 is very
computationally intensive; faster system processors produce
simulation results more quickly.
A basic
VGA video system is required (minimum 640 x 480; 1024 x 768 or greater is
recommended).
A Windows-compatible printer required for test reports.
A
CD-ROM is also required. A complete FastLap2003 install requires
approximately 120MBytes of disk space.
