Racing Upward’s complete simulation system
RacingUPwards uses the PC-based, online motorsports racing simulation platform iRacing as a virtual laboratory.
A suitable computer connected to quality, durable peripherals is needed to be effective. Because there is a competitive component to the academy, the core components of this system are of a required specification provided by SimShop, LLC, assuring a level playing field.
Components
These components have been chosen for cost-effectiveness while still offering industrial-level reliability for the absolute best learning experience. This simulation system should last for many years of regular use. Because this is an online simulation, a stable internet connection is required. Though recommended, this connection does NOT need to be high speed; it does need to be stable; even temporary losses in connection during a live, multi-team event may result in being dropped from the hosting server. It is the responsibility of each team to ensure a suitable internet connection.
Pricing
The simulation chassis, seat, and basic peripherals are not required. Each team has the option to build or provide its own equipment for this purpose. However, the recommended specifications listed were also chosen for their high quality, durability, and relatively low cost considering the complexity and flexibility needed to provide the optimum learning experience across a wide demographic of students, year after year.
