Extensive use of carbon fiber composites and topology-optimized aluminum components to keep the center of gravity low. The "Ofitus21" Virtual Evolution
A multi-element wing package and an intricate floor design that optimized the Venturi effect, providing immense grip at low speeds.
Unlike generic racing mods, the V1.7 update utilized real-world telemetry and CAD data provided by the MAD Formula Team. This includes accurate engine torque curves, gear ratios, and suspension kinematics.
Version 1.7 introduced sophisticated tire models that simulate heat cycles, graining, and the specific slip angles of the Hoosier tires used in competition.
The MFTC3 was developed by the MAD Formula Team, a Formula Student collective from the Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M). Entering the 2020 season, the team faced the unique challenge of global lockdowns, which shifted much of the focus from track testing to digital refinement.
The specific version refers to a highly acclaimed mod developed for the Assetto Corsa simulation platform. Created by the modder "Ofitus21," this digital twin is significant for several reasons:
