Champ Car World Series Champions Rely on MSC.Software's Adams to Optimize Race Car Chassis & Suspension Performance: MSC.Software, the leading global provider of enterprise simulation solutions including simulation software and services, today announced that Newman/Haas/Lanigan Racing (NHLR), the Champ Car World Series Champions for three years running, is on track to celebrate their 100th win in part due to their use of MSC.Software's Adams to tune and optimize race car chassis and suspension performance for a race. By using Adams to run simulations of the car on the track based on data collected from actual test runs, the team is able to make adjustments that improve the speed and handling of the vehicle. This allows them to optimize vehicle performance and gain a winning edge over their competition. "MSC.Software has been a part of our engineering efforts for more than ten years," said Brian Lisles, general manager for the recently renamed Newman/Haas/Lanigan Racing. "Their simulation software plays a crucial role in our ongoing success and is very much a part of the way we go racing." "Newman/Haas Racing has enjoyed a banner year of racing success, winning not only the Champ Car World Series Championship, but seven of fourteen races," said Bill Weyand, chief executive officer, MSC.Software. "Now as they speed towards their 100th win, we are pleased that they recognize the role of Adams on their winning team and look forward to sharing future success."
