Optimal shift envelope across road speed A prominent sawtooth line follows the calculated optimal shifts. Light dashed rays show each forward gear and a smooth root curve fits the engine-speed landing points after shifts. 02,1254,2506,3758,500079158236315 Road speed, km/h Engine speed, rpm

Shift points compare wheel torque before and after each upshift. The smooth root curve is a fitted reference through the post-shift RPM points, not an authored TORCS value. Speeds are theoretical gearing values, not measured top speeds.

Tire curve inputs: the slip-ratio view assumes zero slip angle; the slip-angle view assumes zero longitudinal slip. During combined braking or cornering, TORCS feeds sqrt(sx^2 + sin^2(angle)) into the same tire model.

Tire force assumption: static force applies TORCS' default load-sensitivity factors to the tire friction multiplier and average configured corner load for that axle. This illustrative view assumes level ground, equal left/right load, surface friction 1 and zero camber contribution; it excludes fuel, aerodynamic load, weight transfer, skill, wear, temperature and relaxation effects.
