Fastest-lap documentation
Fastest-lap is a vehicle dynamics simulator. It can be used to understand vehicle dynamics, to learn about driving techniques, to design car prototypes, or just for fun!
Overview
Fastest-lap an open source (MIT) written in C++, and it is usable from any scripting language such as Python and MATLAB. It is cross-platform, and it has been extensively tested on Windows 10, Linux (Ubuntu) and Mac.
Fastest-lap is characterized for its simplity and ease of use. With less than 10 lines of code you will be running and analyzing your first laptime simulation.
