rocketroll Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 (edited) Faccio un copia\incolla selvaggio dal forum ufficiale. Most Successful Grand-Am Prototype Racer To Be Included in Motorsport Simulation Friday, July 18, 2008 - iRacing.com will add the Riley Mk XX Daytona Prototype to the stable of racing cars available to users of the company's motorsport simulation software and service. The agreement was announced today by Bill Riley, president of Riley Technologies and Scott McKee, iRacing's vice president of marketing. "Riley Technologies is one of the world's foremost designers and manufacturers of racing cars, and the Mk XX continues Riley's long line of winning prototype sportscars," McKee said. "Several Daytona Prototype drivers have already made use of our service as part of their pre-race preparation for Grand-Am events; with the top car in the class becoming available, and so many of the tracks where they race already in our inventory, we expect even more teams and drivers will decide to take advantage of our simulation service for race rehearsals." "I drove a pre-release version of the iRacing software last December at the Performance Racing Industry show in Orlando," Riley said. "The accuracy of the tracks and the cars was just amazing. One of the secrets of our company's long-term success has been the level of support we provide for our customers. I look at our association with iRacing as an extension of that service; now the drivers for our teams can get meaningful behind-the-wheel practice before a test session or a race. That's a big advantage." Ian Berwick, vehicle dynamics engineer at iRacing, noted that working closely with Riley's engineering staff and having access to their design and performance data will permit iRacing to produce an extremely precise digital representation of the physical race car. "That's one of the benefits of licensing all of the content in our simulation - tracks as well as cars," said Berwick. "To be useful to real-world racers, the level of fidelity needs to be really high; approximations just aren't good enough." One of the keys to making the Riley Daytona Prototype perform in the simulation precisely as it does in the real world is reproducing the car's aerodynamic qualities accurately. "Our general aerodynamic model is very good, and getting better all the time," Berwick said. "But we'll be able to check our values against what the Riley engineers have found in their real-world testing. For a high-downforce car like this one, that's an important factor." The iRacing.com laser scanning team recently visited Riley Technologies' Mooresville, N.C., facility to scan the Mk XX for modeling purposes. Additional data gathering is underway, and the same version of the car that the Grand-Am professionals will use for their race rehearsals will be available to all iRacing subscribers later this year. Direi mooolto interessante. :!!: EDIT:Aggiunta immagine. Edited July 18, 2008 by VELOCIPEDE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
