GP-FT Core System



"We always try and involve the brain in training because in F1 we have to keep the brain running until the last straight," says Kovalainen and as he continues: “You have to be ready for something that is coming but you don't know when or where”. (Heikki Kovalainen as quoted from BBC Sports).

The GP-FT Core system is a cost effective method to train race drivers for the situations as described by Kovalainen, it can host any required racetrack and racecar setup. The GP Core system can be extended with one, more or all of the available additional modules as listed in the GP-FT Modules page.

Specifications



  • fully adjustable simulation frequencies
  • 6 degree of freedom motion of simulated car chassis
  • independent suspension for all wheels
  • real time (while you drive) user tunable items:
    - chassis: mass distribution, centre of gravity and inertia;
    - suspension: springs, dampers, roll bars & centre, chassis geometry;
    - wheel geometry per wheel: toe in/out, camber, caster;
    - tires: choice of Pajecka or Vesc tire model, pressure, temperature curve and wear;
    - wings/diffuser: downforce and drag;
    - transmission: gear and diff ratios, driveline inertia, traction control;
    - engine: torque curves, maximum rpm, inertia, fuel usage curves;
    and numerous other detail settings are available for user tuning
  • high resolution localized track grip;
  • force-based collisionsdamage & wear effects.

  • F1 replica cockpit with correct FIA regulatory dimensions;
  • adjustable pedals accommodating drivers of different height / leg length;
  • steering wheel with paddle shifting. LED bar rpm indication, two 4-digit info displays, ten buttons, four (twelve position) rotary dials. Buttons and dials may be used for traction control, engine torque/rpm, brake balance, differential settings or others. (functions user specifiable);
  • direct drive high frequency steering wheel force feedback actuator;
  • high frequency harness tensioners;
  • boarding platform & stairs;
  • High frequency 24” long stroke electric motion system (option: pneumatic boosters).
  • User specified or delivered additional components or alternative cockpits can be integrated upon request.

  • basic simulator & system functions;
  • control setup of training sessions: driver details, event details and selection (test, qualification, race), number and level of opponents;
  • setup of optional track, weather, cognitive, physiological and team training modules;
  • in session management: race control, penalties and flags, race incidents and scenarios, module parameters, store current situation, recall stored situations, replay;
  • driver performance analysis using appropriate statistics (mean, standard deviation, reliability intervals, anlysis of variance, correlations): braking points, shifting, throttling, lateral position variability, speed, following distances and more;
  • full control over tuning of car setup;
  • direct acces to environmental physics simulation parameters.

  • real time telemetry data including: speed, rpm & gear, steering wheel & pedal positions, track position, tire wear, fuel amount, damage, steering wheel controls;
  • offline telemetry data in text-formatted files;
  • database storage of selected data & results;
  • MultiSim interface allowing multiple GP-FT simulators to be networked.

  • 4 speaker (left/right vs. front & rear) setup with subwoofer for low frequency effects;
  • car sounds composed of engine, gearbox, differential and airflow dependent of rpm and speed;
  • tire sounds dependent of surface as tarmac, grass, gravel or kerbs;
  • many additional sound effects as shifting, collisions, skidding.
