Engineering Digital Twins for Simulators

iRACE

By combining the vehicle physical data with the power of RACE Software we are able to help the simulation world with 1:1 vehicle models known as Digital Twins.  Using our Digital Twins you will be able to experience the real dynamics of your vehicle in a virtual environment.

 

Digital Twins are used by:

– Professional drivers

– Racing teams

– Automotive OEMs

– Esports and sim racing

 

Our Digital Twins are Engineered models using real vehicle data (not just immersive models).  Engineered models offer benefits such as:

– Unlimited track time in a model that closely matches the real vehicle

– A safe environment in which to explore the performance of your vehicle

– Learning that transfers to the real vehicle to make the most of valuable track time

– The ability to quickly iterate through vehicle setups to find the optimal

We engineer vehicle digital twins by taking into account all vehicle benchmarked data such as:

– suspension hard points and their associated stiffness

– suspension subcomponents such as springs, dampers and anti-roll bars

– tyre characteristics

– engine and gearbox mapping

– aerodynamics

– pro telemetry

– custom livery and 3D/CAD modelling

– sound development

Praga R1 virtual (red) vs real (black)

0.08 seconds is the difference between virtual and real life on a 2 minutes lap at Silverstone with the same driver 

We have a number of digital twin vehicles ready to be purchased or to be rented by sim centers for driver training and experiences (such as LMP3, Praga R1, GB4, 991 CUP, 991 GT3 RS, Radical SR3 and others) but also we are available to be commissioned for new ones.  All vehicle models are provided with licensing in place.

Performance Driving and Racing Driver Coaching

iRACE

Using a state-of-the art approach we are able to level up any individual.

With engineered digital twins, along with our in-house professional drivers, we are able to offer performance driver training either remotely or at our location in the UK. We also have concierge services for people flying into the UK.

Besides using digital vehicle replicas for training we also level up drivers by making them understand the engineering behind the vehicle behaviour.  This helps them to become a valuable part of the engineering and mechanics team.

In-Game Physics Engine Development

iRACE

We are helping the gaming industry with real life vehicle physics and vehicle setups via our RACE “software engine” bringing previously unseen capabilities and fidelity to the gaming world.

Engine features:

– Full vertical dynamics, including road modelling and roughness

– Actual springs/dampers/antiroll bars and kinematic/load transfer effects

– Aero forces

– Wheel and tyre dynamics with nonlinearities, transients, contact patch deflection and combined loads

– Suspension kinematics & compliance

– Force inputs and kinematics outputs at any point of the vehicle

– Steering and steering feedback (application on static/dynamic simulators)

– Rubber parts and vibrational content control (application on dynamic simulators)
