Niels Heusinkveld – The GSC Extreme tire model explained

Physics guru and engineer Niels Heusinkveld of Heusinkveld Engineering is also part of the talented Reiza Studios development team. Niels is responsible for the physics and tire model used in the excellent Game Stock Car Extreme simulator.

Within the community, the Game Stock Car Extreme tire model is sometimes referred to as slightly outdated. In defense, Niels takes us behind the scenes and shows us how he creates a complex tire model that is infinitely adjustable and results in a very convincing tire behavior.

This 16-minute presentation gives us a good idea of the complexity and maths needed to create the best tire model possible within the limitations of the core simulator.  Be careful, us non-techies may lose track of the numbers after just a few minutes.
