OptimumG will hold a three-day technical seminar about race car dynamics and data acquisition at Montreal's ETS, the Ecole de technologie superieure, February 5-6-7.
The seminar will be given by the president of OptimumG, Claude Rouelle, a high performance and vehicle designer, research and development engineer with over 30 years of experience in design, test and automotive engineering.
Rouelle has worked as an engineer in several categories of motorsport, such as Formula 1, IndyCar, Indy Lights, Australian V8 Supercars, Touring cars, Formula 3 and more.
The automotive industry is not only about finding the correct set-up, it is also about understanding why a set-up change is working or not working, and knowing how to quantify this advantage. It is about understanding how, why and how much certain factors affect vehicle behaviour, rather than relying on experience and intuition. Perhaps most importantly, it is about knowing how to reduce the time and money spent on the track to find the best set-up.
During the seminar, students will learn to make the most of the data, relate driver feedback to logged data, improve driver and chassis performance, increase understanding of tires, springs,anti-roll bars, dampers, weight transfer, aerodynamics, over/understeer, roll centres and much more.
The seminar is designed to help not only track engineers but also drivers, crew chiefs, fabricators, technicians, data acquisition specialists, students enrolled in Formula SAE programmes, and more.
The cost breakdown is as follows:
Individual: $1800 USD
Groups of three or more: $1550 USD
OptimumG also have a special discount for students.
