10:00:10 TF108 on track
10:00:12 Narration:
The majestic sight of Panasonic Toyota Racing’s TF108, sweeping through corners at speed, is the public face of Formula 1; but away from the Grand Prix track there is another, hidden world of continuous technical development – a world that increasingly relies on digital simulation.

I think we live in a digital world now. We have to recognise that; and, in Formula 1, we are pushing the limits of simulation and the utilisation of computer power to absolutely understand where the performance can be found in the future. So even if we still use track testing or wind tunnel testing normally, the area we’re looking in is pre-defined by computer simulation. And we’re looking in a fruitful area where we can cultivate performance.

10:01:05 Narration:
Simulation technologies are used by many departments within Panasonic Toyota Racing.
For example, in its preparations for the Canadian Grand Prix, the team uses a so-called ‘seven-post rig.’
It’s a sophisticated system of hydraulic rams that can exactly recreate the suspension movements of any of last year’s Grand Prix races.
It’s particularly important for the race in Montreal.
10:01:30 Dieter Gass
Chief Engineer Race and Test, Panasonic Toyota Racing
It’s very important because, contrary to other circuits, you have the chicanes where the more you can ride the kerbs the more you can straight line them, and the more time you're gonna gain. That means if you have a car that handles perfect over the kerbs you take them with you and you're going to gain a lot of speed and lap time, just only in the chicanes which you don’t have to gain on the rest of the circuit.

Similarly, the engine department uses its test bench or ‘dyno rig’ to simulate a lap on any circuit where telemetry data has previously been collected from the car.
10:02:08 Luca Marmorini
Senior General Manager Engine, Panasonic Toyota Racing
Typically, before Canada or any other race, we have in our computer the complete throttle behaviour that maybe can reproduce Jarno’s driving style or even a virtual driver that is trying to make his lap time, this with a dyno. And in this way we can already start to anticipate some potential problem in terms of engine response or engine mapping that the driver and the team can find in Canada.

Perhaps even more useful is the almost ‘real time’ application of this technology. During a Grand Prix weekend, engine data can be sent back to the factory for simulation tests.
10:02:49 Luca Marmorini
Senior General Manager Engine, Panasonic Toyota Racing
For example, if, during the weekend, a driver experiences a particular problem in a certain corner, we can download all the data, reproduce it at home, work with the right time the right tools here, and then hopefully to give some suggestions to help the people on the track.

In the aerodynamics department a combination of wind-tunnel and computer simulation technologies also provides useful guidelines.
10:03:13 CAD shots
10:03:17 Mark Gillan
Head of Aerodynamics, Panasonic Toyota Racing
We have a very large wind tunnel facility, in addition to a very good computation flow dynamic resource, which is effectively trying to reproduce the wind tunnel in the computer. In the wind tunnel we have a very complex arrangement whereby we try and replicate the track conditions as realistically as possible. In CFD we then try and match the model and the computational model to the tunnel, so we can try and improve the correlation from CFD through the tunnel to the track.

Senior General Manager Chassis
You cannot trust simulation because simulation is just simulation. The simulation is just as good as your department or your simulation department is; and, in any case, it faces I would say natural limitations. So what, what is essential when you, when you use simulation, is to know exactly the limits of it. You cannot expect the simulation to tell you exactly how stiff your suspension have to be. What you can expect from the simulation is to give direction. It will give you a diagnostic. So simulation is all about the way you use it because simulation is not the reality.

Narration:
Simulation is, indeed, not the reality – and, despite all the complex technology, for millions of fans around the world, that reality will always be defined by the sight and sound of an F1 car driven in anger.
