Hi There on other data logging software I’ve previously used I’ve found the simulation really helpful. it was possible to to simulate lap times based on current data logged and then tweak them to simulate theoretical lap times after tweaking settings like CDA , figures weight or engine power output.

Another feature I found handy was the ability to calculate CDa (Drag) based on coast down results.

Is this something that’s on the cards for the future??

Hi, I haven’t encountered those features in analysis software before, so they weren’t on our to-do list. Could you share an example?

Thank you for the answer. It’s an interesting but complex topic. We’ll consider adding it, though it won’t be a priority at this time.
