I'm doing some calcs to assess how a sports car could benefit from hybridisation. I need to optimise the gearbox so the motors work in sync with the existing engine and then do all the thermal calcs based on a revised lap time with the extra power output included. It's an interesting little project but the client is a bit cagey about the specifics of their control system so I need to bodge something semi meaningful.

If anyones ever driven Circuit de Catalunya in a ~1500kg car with "about" 400BHP and logged a respectable lap is there any chance I could get a copy of their data?

I was thinking a M3 / R8 V8 / Jag / GTR. As long as it's not a crazy lightweight or SUV then I can probably do a bit of tweaking so get the profiles I need.

I'm not sure I can really offer much in return other than the satisfaction in knowing your data helped develop a nice sports coupe... but you never know...

Do you have Harry's Laptimer app?

There are a couple of challenge laps logged on there:
2.11.00 Porsche Turbo S, 530 hp / 516 lb-ft
2.15.36 Porsche 997 S PDK, 350 hp / 295 lb-ft

I'm not sure if the level of data you can export from the app would be enough for you?
