The authors are investigating a hybrid system to improve the driving performance of small competition vehicles. In recent years, model-based development has become the mainstream in vehicle development, and lap time simulation has been attracting attention as a powerful tool to support efficient development, since high vehicle driving performance is important for competition vehicles. By using this tool, complex vehicle development problems in competition vehicles can be converted into lap times, which can provide a powerful criterion for decision making in design and development. In this paper, the prediction of vehicle driving performance by quasi-steady-state lap time simulation is investigated using a detailed vehicle model and an efficient calculation method as a basic study for constructing a control algorithm.
