Journal
What we learn, written so it can be used. No press releases, no race results.
In preparation
The first six pieces.
Titles and angles agreed. The texts are still to be written.
Method
Why the first thing we ask for is not the car, but last year's data
A set-up history says more than a test day: it tells you what has been tried and what nobody has ever touched.
Vehicle dynamics
The understeer that is not understeer
Three cases where the driver describes a front-end problem and the cause is at the rear.
OEM
What changes when the client is a car maker
Timing, documentation, approval chain. The engineering is the same, everything around it is not.
Simulation
Correlating does not mean making the traces overlap
A model that nails the perfect lap and gets the transient wrong is worse than one that is openly approximate.
Team
Who decides the set-up when the time has run out
The decision chain is not improvised at seven in the evening in the pit lane. It is written in January.
One-off
The three questions a feasibility study has to answer
What can be built, what it really costs, and what happens if you change your mind halfway.
