About VI-Motorsport
VI-Motorsport is a software environment for vehicle modelling and dynamic analysis, which helps race cars designers and track engineers to predict vehicle performance when set-up parameters are modified, before the car is built and also in support of race events. VI-Motorsport is based on a faster-than-real-time simulation solver which can predict the virtual car behavior, and has been extensively validated against test data in various race car series. The VI-Motorsport environment is complemented by the ability to create road data (both driverlines and tire contact profiles) starting either from GPS, laser or telemetry data measurements, or from a fully analytical description. Finally VI-grade’s advanced driver model allows users to drive the vehicle model around the specified track and to find the limits of the car.
