Abstract:

Formula One motor racing is a rich sport that spends millions on research and development of highly optimized cars. Here we describe the use of a genetic algorithm to optimize 66 setup parameters for a simulation of a Formula One car and demonstrate performance improvements (faster lap times) better than all other methods tested.
