Loading
Engineering for those who race and those who build.
Vehicle dynamicsSimulation and trackTeams and process
An existing base. A single example.
1 of 101 / 08
Kinematics, masses, stiffnesses. How it will behave is known on screen, before anyone gets in.
02 / 08
Geometry, angles, travel. They get measured, simulated, verified. Then a decision gets made.
03 / 08
Prototypes already running, vehicle dynamics targets to hit, and a launch date that does not move.
04 / 08
Correlation between model, rig and the real car. Without it, every data point is a well formatted opinion.
05 / 08
The moment theory stops being theory and starts costing tyres.
06 / 08
Set-up, tyre management, strategy, race engineering. The weekend is won before the weekend.
07 / 08
Roles, procedures, decision chain. When it is needed we review those too, not only the car.
08 / 08
An existing base, a unique project, a single example. From feasibility to validation on track.
Three lines
The client changes and the scale changes. What does not change is how the answer is reached: measure, simulate, verify on track. In that order.
Car makers with a live development programme: prototypes running, vehicle dynamics targets to hit, and an in-house department that needs support rather than replacement.
For: car makers, vehicle development departments, prototype programmes
Teams that race and need one piece, or all of it. We come in where it is needed: a single system to review, race engineering for a season, or technical responsibility for the programme.
For: customer and works teams, tuners, chassis builders
You start from a car that exists and build the single example around an idea. This is not a body kit: it is a project, with calculations, testing and documentation.
For: collectors, small-series makers, brands after a single piece
In short
Capability
On a car there is no such thing as an isolated problem. Change a spring and the aero balance moves; change the aero and tyre temperatures move. Either you look at all of it, or you chase it.

The model
The same car, read from four points of view that have to agree.
Where it starts
You do not need to have decided the size of the job. You need to know what is wrong.
Single job
The most common request. The car is there, the lap time is not: we start from geometry, springs and dampers.
Season
One of our engineers on the pit wall, for a single event or the full calendar.
Method
The simulator says one thing, the car says another. They get reconciled, with a test plan built for the purpose.
Organisation
Roles, procedures, decision chain. We look at how the team works, not only at how the car goes.
Programme
From a blank sheet to validation. The whole programme, with technical responsibility on us.
One-off
An existing base and one car only, from feasibility through to set-up on track.
Method
It holds for a three-week audit and for a three-year programme. The length changes, the order does not.
Before proposing anything we look: existing data, set-up history, and a track session if the material is not enough.
1–2 weeksWhat actually limits the car, ranked by weight. With numbers next to it, not driver impressions alone.
2–3 weeksChanges, simulation, testing. One target at a time and verifiable: if it is not measured, it did not happen.
variesDocumentation, procedures, training. What stays with the team once we are gone.
at programme endWhere we work
Fields where the engineering group has direct experience. List and priority to be confirmed with the technical director before publication.
Journal
What we learn, written so it can be used.
Method
A set-up history says more than a test day. It tells you what has already been tried and what nobody has ever touched.
Vehicle dynamics
Three cases where the driver describes a front-end problem and the cause is at the rear.
OEM
Timing, documentation, approval chain. The engineering is the same, everything around it is not.
Contact
No technical brief needed. Car, category, target and timing are enough for us to tell whether we can be useful — and to say so straight away if we cannot.
We normally reply within two working days. If there is a deadline close by, say so in the message: it changes the order we work in.
