DeskTop
FastLap
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!).
DeskTop
FastLap
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;
DeskTop
FastLap
is an awesome simulation that, we are sure,
will become the most valuable addition to
your racer’s toolkit.
DeskTop
FastLap
incorporates ProRacing Sim Software’s new
user interface built from the ground-up for
Windows95/98/Me and WindowsSim/XP.
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.
DeskTop
FastLap
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.
DeskTop
FastLap
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.
Pop-Up
Lap-Time Slip™ offers an instant summary
of the performance potential of any vehicle.
DeskTop
FastLap
also accepts
DeskTop
Dyno
and DynoSim
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!
DeskTop
FastLap
is supplied with a full-color, 150-page,
on-disk Users Manual (directly accessible
from within
DeskTop
FastLap)
that details the features of this
comprehensive simulation.
New
Advanced and ProTools™ Kits:
While all essential features are included in
DeskTop
FastLap,
the
Advanced and ProTools™ versions
offer professional builders and serious
enthusiasts all the modeling power they can
get. The optional features extend the
functionality of many FastLapSim
features. For example, the Track Editor™
lets you design and build any closed-course
track, Real-Time Data Display™ let's
you view the simulation actually calculating
the best speeds, braking points, etc,
DataZones™ give you the most graphing
and data analysis power possible, ProData™
includes extended vehicle performance data,
including individual wheel telemetry,
Track Segments analyze performance
through individual sections of the course, a
Spring/Damper Calculator™ 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
the Advanced or ProTools™
additions to
DeskTop
FastLap.
