Il nostro amico Andrea ci segnala direttamente sul forum un articolo da lui pubblicato sul proprio blog: l'articolo, incredibilmente preciso e dettagliato, con varie immagini di telemetria esplicative, mette in confronto la stessa vettura (una monoposto F3) sul simulatore rFactor con la controparte reale, utilizzando gli stessi parametri di assetto e persino lo stesso pilota (un driver F3 reale). Correte qui per domande e commenti.
The model has been built into rFactor using all the knowledge I have grown regarding vehicle modeling in this environment and basing on data coming from direct car measuring (suspension kinematics, components weight, setup, brake system, etc) and from manufacturers data (engine torque curve, aerodynamic data, tire data, inertias, etc).The “virtual” vehicle has then been set up with the same setup parameters used during the real test. The only two aspects which were not set to be exactly the same were downforce and drag: the value used in the model are reasonably close to the real ones and come from manufacturer data; anyway, some of the small aero ancillaries that were in Dallara F308 (located mainly in the underside and near the tires) were taken out to further reduce drag and to help to increase top speed.
