How much real data is used in the development of TSF software?
Around 95 percent of all data used in the software derives from many top teams real world vehicle, suspension and aero data of the car in question. The suspensions and engines were created in-house by a top cup teams group of engineers and the TSF physics department. Aerodynamic and drafting work was done in conjunction with aero facilities as well as various teams data from wind tunnel testing. The tires in ASR are based off of CALSPAN testing done and provided to us by Hoosier Tire Corp. Telemetry exports from the sim are then compared to telemetry exports for that car at the same track and the final vehicle performance values are then tuned. In the end, we monitor everything from load ratios on the tires throughout the track and on each line to suspension travel, engine protocols, aero protocols in both clean and dirty air as well as many other values of the simulated physics to create a final product. Like in life the cars are always changing as new technology innovations in the in
