Project Title: Developing a Programme to Calculate and Simulate Motorracing Events
Student: Gwilym James

Abstract:
Motorsport is one of the most popular sports in the world, having hundreds of millions of fans
world-wide, of which I am won. Like many people, I watch motorsports and I see the decisions
made by the team managers and I think "I could do better". Unlike other sports, there is no major
management-based game, in the style of Sports Interactive's Football Manager, available for
motorsports. Because of this, some people have taken to running sign up games on the internet,
where participants create drivers, with data attached, then races are run and the virtual
championship is run based on those results.
However, the calculators available for these games are unsatisfactory, lacking detail in such a way
that it may damage players enjoyment of the games. Therefore I have decided that I will attempt to
develop a motorsport simulator and calculator with the aim of creating one that can simulate a full
race and output the result of that simulation in detail.
