SEMINAR OVERVIEW
If you are looking for the best possible design and performance for the 2009 FSAE competition, or if you are seeking a future in the racing or automotive industry, the 4-Day seminar I will be offering in Calpoly San Luis Obispo will give you the opportunity to do just that.
During the 4-day seminar, you will not only learn about the science and the math of racecar design and performance, but also "the tips and tricks" which affect your car's handling. I would love to share with you my 30 years of experience in Formula Ford, European Touring Car Championship, V8Supercar, Formula 3, Formula 3000 in Europe and Japan, Formula 1 and Champcar, as the president of OptimumG, our race car engineering consulting company (several of our employees are former FSAE participants), and as a FSAE design judge.
WHAT IS DISCUSSED?
Lateral and longitudinal tire grip VS slip angle, slip ratio, vertical load, pressure, camber and temperature, tire rolling resistance, camber change, bump and roll steer, Ackerman, antisquat and antidive, roll and pitch center definition and movement, CG measurements, ideal weight distribution, chassis torsion stiffness and chassis torsion damping, motion ratio, natural and damped frequency, weight transfer in steady state and transient, "magic numbers", moment of inertia in roll, pitch and yaw measurements and how to use these numbers to tune the car, shock tuning, brake balance, shock speed histogram, minimal and ideal data acquisition hardware..... and anything else you wish to discuss.
I guarantee you that you will learn in 4 days (4 very intensive days! From 8:00 AM to almost 8:00 PM) more than you can get in any racing books. I also guarantee you that I will answer all of your questions - but you will also get out of there with more question than you came with!
A comprehensive, well-organized binder containing more than 600 pages of explanatory text and illustrative diagrams will be given to each participant. Several examples of setup, data, and practical experience (some successful some disastrous) will be shown and given as illustrations. This seminar has been given to many professionals in the racing industry such as Penske, Bridgestone and Ferrari F1 and will be available to FSAE students at the exceptionally low rates listed above, because we know you are part of the future of the industry and want to help you start your career.
Your online purchase includes tuition, binder and lunch each day of the seminar. You will be responsible for your own transportation and accommodation.
