Pick two bikes. Race them.
A full lap of our circuit, simulated from published specs: launch, braking points, apex speeds and sector times, with a winner at the flag and every assumption on the table. No riders, no excuses, no home-crowd corners.
Build a race
Any pairing is allowed. Cross-class fights are half the fun.
The circuit: the Ref Ring
3.4 km, nine corners, fictional by design so nobody is racing at home. The long straight and the fast Carousel reward power; two hairpins and a chicane reward light bikes with strong brakes. Every class in the database gets one place to shine, which is exactly how a referee would build a racetrack.
- Spec Sheet Straight: 620 m of pure power-to-weight
- T1 hairpin: the heaviest braking zone on the lap
- The Carousel: a long fourth-gear commitment corner

How the simulation works
The same quasi-static method club-level lap-time tools use: the track is sampled every two metres, each bike gets a corner speed ceiling from its grip, then the solver accelerates forward and brakes backward through the friction circle and integrates the result into a lap. Power, weight, brakes, wheelbase and seat height all come from the spec sheet; the assumptions are listed under every race. Simulated estimates, never measured lap times, and the same inputs always produce the same race.
How the scores work, too
