and more sustainable path to innovation. For W1, engineers used DMG-1 to deliver precise, real-time simulations of downforce, aerodynamic load, and suspension interaction, enabling robust and efficient optimisation of active aero systems. This proof of concept paves the way for greater integration of simulation into McLaren’s future programmes as the company expands into new product categories. Ash Warne, founder and CTO of Dynisma, says: “We are proud that McLaren Automotive has chosen Dynisma to power its virtual development with our DMG-1 simulator. This installation is a milestone for McLaren’s future automotive development. Our technology enables

manufacturers to replicate reality with exceptional precision, accelerating innovation, reducing dependence on prototypes, and helping deliver cars that are more finely tuned than ever before.” “A simulator of this fidelity is not just a tool for drivers - it allows engineers to integrate and analyse systems across the car,” notes Mark Salmon, principal engineer at McLaren Automotive. “We can assess tyre and suspension behaviour, develop control strategies and predict duty cycles before a single part is manufactured.” Christopher Harrison, vehicle integration director and deputy CTO at McLaren Automotive, adds: “The simulator is an incredibly critical tool in terms of
helping us bring together the soul of the car. One of the biggest technical challenges with the W1 is how we bring together the performance to a car that is capable on the road, and this is a tool that enables us to build on our world-class virtual methodologies in terms of designing and delivering cars to meet our customers’ expectations.”
The validation of the W1’s active aero systems using DMG-1 exemplifies how simulation can foster engineering excellence and deliver some of the world’s most exhilarating driving experiences.
