TRACK DETAILS ANYONE?

[Rob Davies]

ok im not even working on the car but ive been given a project to the lines of wings/no wings as i will hopefully (grades permitting) be working on the uni's car next year.
Well am i just a dumb ass or is this a far too hard an answer to give an answer to? we have front wings/ rear wings and venturis to think about among other things like gurney flaps etc... And when i read through books all i read is its a 'black art' etc..
Well ive worked on a simplified acceleration, braking, cornering simulation (started off in excel but moved it all to c++ to link and perform the many iterations that I need.
Anyone got some track details that i can run my simulation on so i can see what times i get for my no wing/front wing/ rear wing/ both cars and even better a time to see if my no wings car is a decent simulation.
Cheers, Rob

PS: Does anyone from Iowa State enter the us version of formula student?

Look at the rule book. The rules for fsae describe the major parts of the track. It will give you a good idea what the layout is like.

These are the track maps from last year. You will have to look at the rules and approximate the lengths of the straights, corder radii, etc. but you can get a pretty good feel.
