  2. Comparing 424 to Max Verstappen’s 2025 pole lap in the Silverstone circuit. 424 is around 5 seconds slower, but this is very close to F1 race pace. The main differentiator is mass:

    424: ~950 kg F1 (qualifying): ~800 kg

    The 424 is simulated with Vehicle Physics Pro using the most recent engineering data available. EV racing is expected to keep improving in the coming years.

  5. The 424 made it to the front page of this month’s RACE TECH Magazine! A six-page feature by @RaceTechmag covers the car’s development, designed using a simulator powered by Vehicle Physics Pro, turned into a full engineering tool.

    I couldn’t be prouder to be a core part of this project 🤩

  9. The 424 now limits electric regen power at the start of the lap, since the battery begins fully charged and cannot accept additional energy until about 2 km into the run.

  12. This is the latest iteration of the PERRINN 424. Major evolutions include driver placement, weight distribution, powertrain, and battery pack. The team is currently optimizing battery power and temperature specifically to target the Nordschleife lap record. This involves testing real battery cells and refining regeneration and thermal management strategies in the simulator.

  13. 🎙️ “Without him, we would not be where we are, that is for sure.”

    A great conversation about simulation, innovation, and the collaboration behind the PERRINN 424 project. Watch the podcast with Edy and Nico now: 🔗 youtube.com/watch?v=H5_E2_…

  14. Diagnosing a strong vibration in lateral acceleration. Initial tests suggest a numerical resonance in the model simulating the tire’s lateral damping. However, the tire forces don’t appear to align with the resulting accelerations, so there may be something else not exposed in the telemetry.

  15. This is how we use data from the PERRINN simulator, powered by Vehicle Physics Pro, to stress-test a battery cell under the same conditions it would face in the real car. Top-level engineering at its finest.

    All metrics are within spec, confirming that we can assemble the car using this cell.

  22. How does an engineer design a SimRacing cockpit? By running a physical stress analysis, naturally! 😄

    This cockpit, part of the PERRINN 424 project, is being designed with the exact physical dimensions of the real car and will be used to test driver position, ergonomics, and more.

  23. How does the force feedback (FFB) model calculate the torque applied to the steering wheel device?

    First, we set the maximum torque the device can handle (20 Nm in this case). The FFB component then calculates the steering load coming from the steering rack using its physical model and applies the corresponding torque ratio to the device.
