McLaren to use racing simulator tech to help develop road cars

AutoExec Summary

McLaren has partnered with UK-based Dynisma to use a new simulator in developing its next generation road cars, including a successor to the P1 hypercar. The simulator will enhance testing in areas like vehicle dynamics, aerodynamics, powertrains, and interior refinement. It will also allow virtual testing to reduce costs and speed up development. McLaren’s F1 team, which includes Australian driver Oscar Piastri, will benefit from this new technology. The partnership comes amidst changes in McLaren’s ownership structure, with reports suggesting Bahrain’s investment fund may sell its majority stake.
