In today's #TechTuesday, co-founder Brian Bourne dives into a tire analysis from our recent participation at the GRIDLIFE Midwest Festival. Racing our SCR1 all-electric amateur touring car in the Time Attack unlimited series, we closely examined the Toyo Proxes RR tires provided by Toyo Tires USA. We noticed that the tire wear was fairly even on the inner side, but the outer side exhibited more wear, suggesting that an adjustment in camber might be necessary. Time attack serves as a test bed for the SCR1 because it pushes the vehicle to its limits in short, intense bursts. This format allows us to test the integration and performance of various systems under the high stresses of competitive racing. It's an ideal scenario to refine our car's dynamics, safety, and reliability, and offer high quality integration services.

Racecar design differs significantly between cars that will be running on road courses vs. oval tracks due to the distinct demands of each track type. The engineering philosophy for each type of racing is tailored to the unique challenges posed by the track layout, with road courses demanding versatility and oval tracks emphasizing speed and stability through banked turns. Road Course Cars: - Aerodynamics: Cars require more downforce for better traction in the diverse range of turns. - Traction and Acceleration: Prioritized to handle the technical layout with both left and right turns. - Suspension: Tuned for agility to navigate the complex turns and elevation changes. Oval Track Cars: - Aerodynamics: Less downforce is used to reduce drag, focusing on higher overall speed. - Suspension: Set up asymmetrically, often stiffer on the right to handle the constant left turns on banked tracks. - Speed: Cars are optimized for higher top speeds and sustained velocity on long, sweeping turns. No matter what type of course you're designing for, A&D Technology can help your R&D engineers optimize their testing. https://hubs.ly/Q02qQ1Ky0

🚀 Ready, set, go! 🚀 Today's discipline is all about - literally - circles! The skid pad! 🏁🔄 Just imagine: A perfect circle on the tarmac, tyres screeching and the excitement building. The Skid Pad is much more than a simple lap. It is a tough test for both vehicle and driver. The aim is to drive a figure of eight, with each circle having to be completed twice - at maximum lateral acceleration! This is where real skill comes into play: Precise car set-up and masterful driving technique are required. Our racing car must have the perfect combination of suspension, aerodynamics and tyre grip to maintain high lateral acceleration and reach top speeds in the corners. The drivers are also the focus. A sure instinct is needed to steer safely and quickly through the corners. Top performance is only possible when the two are in perfect harmony. Our team spends countless hours fine-tuning our racing car. From suspension settings to aerodynamics, every detail is meticulously optimised to achieve the best possible result. Stay tuned for more exciting insights into our disciplines! 👀✨ #fstw #skidpad #racing #precision #racecar #formelstudent #insight #discipline
