Horsepower Parameters
CarTrack can be used to calculate an approximate HP reading for your runs
In order to calculate a HP value you will need to obtain and enter the following information for your vehicle:
- Weight (kg)
- Drivetrain Loss (%)
- Drag Coefficient
- Frontal Area (m²)
We are trying to locate sources on the internet to help people obtain these values and links will be added to the list below once found (please email us any suitable websites):
- http://www.globalcar.com/datasheet
- http://www.mayfco.com/tbls.htm
- http://www.carfolio.com
- http://www.cars.com/go/compare/index.jsp?aff=national
- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automobile_drag_coefficient
Please note these websites may be slightly dated and not feature newer models
Also note that the HP is calculated afterwards when viewing the graphs. So you can do the runs now and save them. Then afterwards enter your HP details (or fine tune them) to see the HP graph
