new member - working on a virtual model of the Clio for sim racing

[Yanch]

Hello racers,

I'm a vehicle dynamics engineer building a physics model of the Clio to be raced in a popular on-line simulation at tracks around the world.

My hope is that a few of you can share some basic information about your cars or point me toward other open sources.

There will be opportunities for some of you to help out by testing the model as it si being developed over the next few months.

Hi, sounds interesting, especially as I’m into sim racing

Curious which sim you're working on? I'm guessing either Assetto Corsa or RF2?

 

[Maidens1979]

Or automobilista 2?

Or automobilista 2?

In fairness, he did say sim.

Just kidding

Very good

Awesome stuff. I'm a software engineer and had toyed with making a model to test suspension setups for a little MG race car but haven't pursued it very far, so would be keen to assist and maybe learn something along the way.

Any questions I'm happy to help

iRacing Clio will be available next week

The actual Clio audio did not make it into the video published above. Rest assured that it will sounds more realistic next week!
