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 (see
feature table
for more information) 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. See
Order Form
for pricing info.
DeskTop FastLap runs on any IBM-compatible
PC computer using Windows95/98/NT/2000/Me/XP.
