Our basic goal with this mod was to create a simulation model that we could use to help evaluate, test, and tune our real-world cars. We have made an effort to have the model reflect the design, specifications, and characteristics of the real car as closely as possible. We are quite pleased with how this initial release turned out. Comparing sim Motec output at Portland ('Vanport') with real-world data shows very good correlation. We've had drivers of various skill levels drive the car in the sim and their Vanport lap times correlated closely with the times they set in the prototype. Overall dynamic behavior is true to life as well. This is very encouraging and supports the use of the sim as a real-life development tool. Going forward we intend to do a lot of testing and data comparisons, evolving the real dp4 and the sim model together. We'll be releasing updates to this mod whenever we feel significant enough changes have taken place.
