Vehicle Dynamics

”Driving a car as fast as possible (in a race) is all about maintaining the highest possible acceleration level in the appropriate direction.”
Peter G. Wright

The field of vehicle dynamics is a very complex and interesting one. This broad subject can be divided into the following categories;

  • Cornering
  • Acceleration
  • Braking
  • Steering
  • Suspension Characteristics
  • Aerodynamics
  • Tire Dynamics

    •  

    Pertechs has prepared courses for all those categories and they can be combined to a relevant package for your organisation, typically between 1-3 days.

    Race Engineering

    The term ”Race Engineering” is a very broad term and to work as a Race Engineer is perhaps one of the job positions that reach across more areas than any other. In this job you need to have skills in;

  • Mathematics and physics to understand vehicle dynamics and its theories,
  • Mechanical engineering to understand the hardware – the race car - and all its complex sub systems,
  • Human physiology to extract maximum from, primarily the driver, but not to forget, all the rest of the crew around the car,
  • Quick, instinct decision making, to make the right decisions regarding setup and strategic questions in the heat of a racing or qualifying situation,
  • Strategy and planning, to judge different scenarios regarding rules and regulations interpretations, make long term planning regarding for example car development and tire management.
