Modding Assetto Corsa vs rFactor 2
In the previous episode, the first of this series, we narrowed down our options for simulating my car down to Assetto Corsa and rFactor 2. In this second episode we take a deeper look at both to try to make a final decision about which will be most appropriate for my specific needs.
How to Simulate a Racing Car follows the conversion of the FVT05 Formula Vee into a racing sim. This car was originally built for the Australian Formula Vee racing series, and it competed successfully in the 2017 New South Wales State and Club championships. The introduction to that series can be found at th-cam.com/video/4gzjcimjfTQ/w-d-xo.html.

Getting into Motorsport: A brief guide
มุมมอง 109K7 ปีที่แล้ว
This is a quick guide to getting into motorsport which I put together to give people a realistic idea about whether it's something they can get involved in. It's easy to look at something like Formula 1 or the WEC and think it's unattainable but club level motorsport is certainly possible to get involved in if you're willing to put in the time and effort required.

I also upgraded to a 360 degree camera which allows for some interesting footage. The sound wasn'...
Tyre Buffing
มุมมอง 29K7 ปีที่แล้ว
The tyres we run in Formula Vee have quite a deep tread and so it's quite common to have them buffed. Rather than pay for each set to be buffed, we decided to have a go and see whether we could build a rig to buff them ourselves, then set about buffing a set of tyres.

    I cant believe I am just now discovering this channel! You guys do some awesome stuff, I am designing a fuel tank for a car where we have had baffling issues. The design ive been thinking of is very very similar to yours. I was curious about any updates on the performance especially for the sump area for your pickup tube as mine runs an external pump as well and I am looking to build a sump just like that!

    Your videos are really really interesting, I’m currently studying vehicle engineering with a focus on the ICE and my biggest concern is that I know when I’ll finish the studies that I probably won’t be able to do a single thing or most things you’ve done in this series which is a big problem. I’ve bought some books on vehicle dynamics and I’m planning to have a look at them by myself but without some practical examples it’ll probably be tough.

    I think a HANS is useless and not worth the price at that level. A neck brace is largely enough. Remember, in the 80s turbo era and during the wing cars era in F1, racing drivers had nothing around their neck but miles and training for some of them.

    Been a while now, did you go ahead with this? I haven't tried the preloaded front suspension yet but I think there is a good chance it might work. I use Automobilista (1) as that was the game I worked on and I know it inside out, except the moments when it turns out I don't know it inside out..

    At the end, you say that testing at the track is not as cost effective. I disagree. Academic calcutions only need one error to render them valueless whereas actual real world testing is where every dynamic is present and correct. It's also a lot more fun at the track than on a spreadsheet!
