A Fundamental Approach –Tyres Tyres Tyres
Grand Prix Dynamics understand the absolute importance of a race car’s tyre characteristics, and how they directly dictate the entire vehicle set up from the ground up. Therefore, all of our vehicle dynamics engineering work is based around the cars individual and specific tyre properties using real tyre data(where possible). This allows us to then specify or find a target reference of the following fundamental, vehicle dynamic properties:
- Mass Distribution
- Total Roll Stiffness And Distribution
- Aerodynamic Balance (if applicable)
Experience Matters!
Race car engineering success is a function of: Vehicle dynamics knowledge; preparation; intuition and experience.
Grand prix dynamics engineers are degree qualified and have received specific training from Claude Rouelle’s ‘OptimumG’ race engineering seminar. We also benefit from extensive motorsport experience within the UK, Europe and the United States of America, in many motorsport applications, including:
