As you move through the design process, you start with insight, then gradually trade insight for accuracy.

Steps to reduce the chances of valve-piston contact or crank bearing failure. The importance of cooling and RPM limits.

Defining requirements, validating models, on-car tuning, and understanding the root cause of problems. The process of developing and troubleshooting a steering system.

This is a logic path for understanding the performance of your car in straight line acceleration. Understand the impact of gearing and power and torque curves.

Chassis, mass, and aerodynamic interactions affecting steady-state balance, and the purpose of anti-roll bars.

Different processes for calculating and measuring brake temperatures for pad selection.

Definitions of limited slip differential types and performance, focusing on yaw moments due to combined cornering and acceleration or braking.

Skidpad testing, understeer gradient, handling and driver feedback, simulation with tire force and moment data.

A highly optimized brake system properly managed by the driver allows longer wide-open throttle times, shorter brake zones, and higher average cornering speeds. This is how we reduce lap times.

State of charge, cooling, and water-based extinguisher information to minimize the chances of battery pack overheating, fire, or explosion.
