In a couple of months the 2022 Formula 1 season will get underway with probably the largest single change to the aerodynamic regulations in its history. I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to do some aero investigations of my own, so today I want to share my concept of a 2022 car before the firstContinue reading “Aerodynamic Studies of a 2022 F1 Car”

Building an F1 Lap Sim Model
I’ve wrote a bit about my lap sim program before, but today I wanted to give a full demonstration. The goal will be to build up a model of a modern F1 car and correlate it to real telemetry data. My main tool will be my MATLAB quasi-static lap time simulation program, but the processContinue reading “Building an F1 Lap Sim Model”
Lap Simulation (pt. 2)
Another update on my MATLAB lap time simulation program. This time I wanted to show more of the details, demonstrate how I can generate a basic tire model from logged data, and show how the simulation compares to that data. As I mentioned previously I’m using logged data from a driver-in-the-loop racing simulator, but theContinue reading “Lap Simulation (pt. 2)”
Lap Simulation
I thought I’d share a little personal project that I’ve been working on for a while now, writing my own lap simulation code in MATLAB. Essentially its a point-mass model using various vehicle parameters to calculate loads on each corner. The solver starts from zero velocity and iterates until a solution has converged. Of courseContinue reading “Lap Simulation”
