I originally slapped the site together using basic html and wrote the whole simulation in javascript(don't ask me why, lol). There are a few quarqs(
) to work out with the simulation and use a more realistic tire model. The model I'm using now is sort of basic(8th order polynomial that is autocalculated based on raw tire data), but I want to move to a more realistic model(Pacejka). If you're bored and want to check it out its:

The whole site is meh so I'm redoing it with MVC4, re-programming the simulation file to C# and have it run on the server instead of the client, working on a iOS counterpart and maybe if I get adventurous enough do an Android version too.
Soooo so far I've been learning MVC, which wasn't too hard considering I know quite a bit of WebForms. Brushing up on my C#. I also wasn't familiar with SQL before and in this past week I've got a pretty decent handle on it(granted I'm still pretty noob but now I can write some decent SQL script as opposed to basic select, delete, create, update).
It's pretty fun so far
Cool man, site looks pretty slick to me!
Even if I have no idea what one does with tire simulations, keep it up!!
