User Interface And Features: FastLapSim incorporates ProRacing Sim Software s new user interface built from the ground-up for Windows95/98/Me and WindowsSim/XP. Our eye-popping XP look boasts QuickAccess buttons and DirectClick menus that let you change parts simply by clicking on any component. Nothing could be easier! Analyze vehicle speed, lateral or longitudinal G's, rpms, damper forces, suspension movement, tire loads, and much more. View race results in full-color graphics. All data and graphs can be printed (and previewed) in color on any Windows printer. Even model several vehicles at once; just click on a Vehicle Selection Tab to focus on any vehicle you choose.

FastLapSim also includes a Track Window that provides an overhead view of real-time vehicle movement (understeer, oversteer, and all!). Watch as your test vehicle traverses every straightaway and turn and remains fully synchronized with comprehensive telemetry displayed on the results graphs. Zoom-in and out on both Track and Telemetry to uncover every nuance of vehicle performance. FastLapSim provides a real-time G-G Diagram that graphically indicates the sum of all forces acting on the vehicle. Each dot on the G-G Diagram indicates the equivalent force on the vehicle at each 0.001-second throughout the timed lap. A quick glance reveals whether vehicle was able to maintain its maximum G envelope throughout the course. Use this data, and the extensive chassis-tuning information provided in the over 160-page, color, Users Manual, to build the ultimate vehicle for any asphalt, closed-course track.

The Track Editor : You can run any vehicle you design on anyof the 40+ built-in tracks (includes many of the World s best-known race courses). Or design any track you can dream up using a fully-graphic Track Editor ! This powerful application built into FastlapSim lets you construct any track with any number of turns, turn radii, straightaway lengths, track widths, and more. Simply place corner points and the Track Editor draws the interconnecting track. Set the corner radii, fine tune the track points, and take your test vehicle for a spin. Build any track from a parking-lot autocross to a multi-mile twister! Build an imaginary track, or precisely construct a real-world track for methodical testing. Either way, the Track Editor expands the modeling capabilities of FastlapSim to limits of your imagination!

Keep It Simple: But the incredible modeling power in FastLapSim is only the beginning. ProRacing Sim Software carefully designed this simulation so that it shows you exactly the level of detail you would like to see. Start out with an easy-to-read, Pop-Up Lap-Time Slip that offers an instant summary of the performance potential of any vehicle. Or open the SimData window for a more in-depth view of vehicle data. Move the reticule on the data display, and the SimData window shows the exact numerical values for over 60 vehicle measurements, including speed, lat and lon Gs, rpm, hp, torque, yaw, pitch, roll, yaw rate, body drag, body lift, front and rear wing lift and drag, throttle, brake, steering input, trans gear, suspension compliance, spring forces, damper velocities, slip angles, and much more! Dig even deeper and zoom in on the data display analyze vehicle movement in minute detail. It s all up to you.

Compatibility: Since the FastLapSim accepts DynoSim engine test files (you can also manually enter any engine power curves), it is possible to test various engine components and measure their on-track effects. Imagine changing a camshaft then running a track analysis of the new power curve in just minutes! In the time it takes for you to dream up a new combination, you can perform an "on track" test and analyze the results!

New ProTools Kit: While all essential features are included in the Advanced version of FastLapSim, professional builders and serious enthusiasts need all the modeling power they can get. The optional ProTools Kit extends the functionality of many FastLapSim features. It includes the Real-Time Data Display to view the simulation actually calculating the best speeds, braking points, etc, DataZones to give you the most graphing and data analysis power possible, ProData includes extended vehicle performance data, including individual wheel telemetry, Track Segments that analyze performance through individual sections of the course, a Spring/Damper Calculator that helps you pick the optimum shocks and gear ratios, and ProPrinting that delivers a comprehensive test report that includes your name, address, company logo, glossaries, and all ProData values. If you're serious about road racing analysis, consider a ProTools addition to FastLapSim.

Users Manual: FastLapSim is supplied with a full-color, 160-page, on-disk Users Manual (directly accessible from within FastLapSim) that details the features of this comprehensive simulation.

Requirements: The FastLapSim runs on any IBM-compatible PC computer using Windows95/98/NT/2000/Me/XP. FastLapSim is very computationally intensive; faster system processors produce simulation results more quickly. A basic VGA video system is required (minimum 640 x 480; 1024 x 768 or greater is recommended). A Windows-compatible printer required for test reports. A CD-ROM is also required. A complete FastLapSim install requires approximately 120MBytes of disk space.
