Bespoke Track Models

Our advanced track database includes most circuits from across the globe. Many of these are laser scanned and GPS mapped for near-perfect accuracy. This allows you to familiarise yourself with every turn, bump and gradient, perfecting entry and exit speeds. The laser scanning of the tracks is the most accurate way to build them for simulation, the same way F1 teams do. The laser scans of the surfaces show (at the chosen track) gradients, kerbs, bumps, angles of the surface and the surface material. Which in turn gives you a 1:1 real-life model on the simulator of the chosen track.

Our range of tracks are constantly updated, we have updated versions of Yas Marina Circuit and Spa, this is part of the level of service we provide. Adjusting layouts and surfaces as of when they are adjusted in real life.

All tracks are transferred through the Cool Performance ‘cloud’. When a new track model is created they automatically sync to your home simulator for you to train with.

Bespoke Car Models

Our cars have been created and edited in-house. We have an advanced, wide range of single-seaters including worldwide versions of F4, Formula Regional, British F3 (GB3), Euro Formula, FIA F3 and FIA F2. In our GT database we have a huge range of GT3,GT4 and LMP cars, Porsche Cup, BTCC, Clio Cup, Ginetta, Beetle Fun Cup and various prototypes. We also have many others already in our extensive database, so please contact us to see if we have your car modelled already. If we don’t have the car you require we would be happy to develop a car and tyre model for your chosen car.

All of the cars have been built by collaborating with the car manufacturers, tyre manufacturers, the teams that run them and professional drivers. Bringing you the highest quality and most realistic experience from accurate acceleration to realistic braking and traction. Every single car has been built from scratch and we would only let you drive them this way, as we do not believe in just scaling the grip or downforce up or down to make a new car, which can and will give you the wrong feeling. The aero and drag maps for all of these cars are within 99% accuracy across the whole ride height range with all the wing settings.

All cars are transferred through the Cool Performance ‘cloud’. When a new car model is created they automatically sync to your home simulator for you to train with.

 

Cool Performance sim racing software

Cool Performance Bespoke Software Modelling

As well as offering software optimisations for all major sim racing software, we developed our own software after we saw a lack of accurate car models and tracks.

Taking over 5 years to get to the point we are today, we have come a long way with the development of our bespoke racing simulator software, now featuring over 40+ of the world's race tracks, 35+ car models and counting.

Our sim racing software runs off rFactor, we started from a blank piece of paper and had to put all the content into the platform. We chose rFactor as our sim racing software platform because the physics of the software are the most realistic, hence why many F1 teams also use rFactor as a base for their simulator software. We have spent years perfecting race car physics and track models, which is ongoing due to changes in cars and tracks. It's also been tested by hundreds of pro drivers. Updates come as frequently as once a week, which updated cars and tracks as we complete them at our base in the UK.

Our software also allows live telemetry to view the data from your sim rig in the same way as real life. You can analyse your data using MoTec, which is the same software many race teams use to analyse their data in real life from the car. You have over 50 channels of data to analyse including slip angles, steering angles, GPS tracking, brake and throttle positions, RPM, speed and many more. This is the most accurate way to train when you can review the information from your driving to see on the precision graphs.

Custom Software Configuration On Our Fully Built Simulators

As offered on all Cool Performance sim racing rigs.

Leo Bodnar SimSteering2 FFB System (52) – 16NM | Cool Performance Racing Simulators

CP-S x Leo Bodnar Force Feedback System

The CP-S Leo Bodnar Force Feedback system featured on our 'Pro' racing simulator models, features a bespoke software tune, developed by us. Our proprietary force feedback software allows you to run lower damping settings to achieve realistic feedback sensations mid-corner, but not suffer the oscillations at high force feedback levels that plagues most force feedback systems.

Dynamic Motion Simulator Configuration

The FIA licensed D-Box dynamic motion systems that a Cool Performance motion simulator rig uses, is configured with a custom software profile to work optimally with all compatible simulation software. With a motion simulator, it is important that the actuators are configured properly, ensuring roll, pitch and yaw are delivered as accurately as possible, so road textures and curbs can be felt properly. This ensures that the movement of the simulator is as accurate as it is immersive. To learn more about motion simulators, click here.

cool performance tactile feedback system

Tactile Feedback Configuration

The CP-S tactile feedback haptics mimic every bump, vibration, and road texture with astonishing accuracy. Our development team has fine-tuned the haptics system to sync effortlessly with any game, offering a smooth yet incredibly realistic driving experience. It can be tuned depending on preference to activate on gear shifts, curbs, engine vibration and more.

High end gaming PC

Graphics Optimisation

The engine behind all Cool Performance sim racing rigs is the top of the line custom built water cooled gaming PC's with NVIDIA graphics cards and Intel processors, that we supply. Before each simulator is sent out for installation, the requested simulation software is configured to run at optimal graphics settings for immersion, whilst maintaining a high frame rate for optimal performance. All of our PC's operate on windows and have secure remote support capabilities should they be needed.

Cool Performance sim racing analytics

Data Analysis

Cool Performance racing simulators are compatible with MoTec - the same analytics software that professional teams use. You can even upload MoTec data from real laps on track as comparison to lap times on the sim, allowing you to see where you can make up extra time.
