![]() ![]() The track models that we use are highly detailed. How accurate is the Driver in Loop simulator? The value of these different virtual tools is critical for an F1 team, particularly when we've never raced at the track before. That means they can be sped up and run in parallel with other simulations to support both the vehicle dynamics and the strategy groups. However, in that same space of time we can log thousands of computer simulations as computer simulated laps can be done 100% virtually. In a typical DiL session, our race and simulator drivers can easily complete more than a full race distance. We use a bespoke simulator facility at the factory and the DiL is somewhat similar to a professional airplane simulator used for pilot training - with the obvious difference that our "cockpit" looks like an F1 car, not a flight deck. Driver-in-loop (DiL) is effectively our virtual test track, where our car and the tracks we race on are modelled in incredible detail, to enable us to develop the car, find the right set-up direction and help the drivers familiarise themselves with a track in a virtual environment. There are a few areas of simulation that F1 teams use to prepare for a Grand Prix weekend, but the two main ones are driver-in-loop and computer simulation. ![]() What types of simulation do F1 teams use? ![]()
