Tomorrow is the last day for early registration for the 4-day OptimumG Applied Vehicle Dynamics for Race Car Design and Development that I will be teaching at Michigan University in East Lansing from Sunday May 15th to Wednesday May 18th. from 8 AM to .... well at least 7 PM everyday
Here is the content:
Day 1
Introduction
Vehicle Dynamics Fundamentals
Tires Part 1
Day 2
Tires Part 2
Steady State Handling Fundamentals
Aerodynamics
Kinematics and Compliance Part 1
Day 3
Kinematics and Compliance Part 2
Steady State Weight Transfer
Grip, Balance, Control and Stability
How to create and exploit a yaw moment Vs lateral acceleration diagram
Day 4
Suspension Stiffness and Damping
Transient Handling
Basics of lap time simulation
Fundamentals of driver KPI (Key Performance Indicators) analysis
Each seminar participant will receive a 750-page binder.
If you are interested, please email Susanne Chastain (susanne.chastain@optimumg.com). You need to be a student to benefit from the majorly reduced seminar price.
If you speak nicely to Susanne, I bet she can extend the deadline for the reduced price to Monday evening :)
There are a few more seats available. We already have 55 students and 7 professionals who have registered.

There will be another OptimumG 4-day Data Driver seminar right after the Lincoln, Nebraska FSAE competition from June 19th to June 22nd. This seminar will be dedicated to the practical aspects of race car engineering
Day 1
Introduction
Data source and data exploitation
Data acquisition hardware
Do and don’ts of data acquisition hardware choice, maintenance, and troubleshooting
Data visualization and data analysis methodologies
Day 2
Driver KPI analysis
Chassis, engine, aerodynamics, and brake KPI analysis
Aerodynamics simulation, wind tunnel and on-track measurements and data analysis
Tire modeling and model exploitation
Tire testing and tire on track data analysis
On track damper tuning with data analysis with tire temperature and wear mesuerements
Day 3
In lab car or car component test (wind tunnel, K&C, 7 post rig. tire test, damper dyno, chassis torsion stiffness…)
How to design good suspension kinematics
Vehicle modeling, simulation and optimization
Lap time simulation
Day 4
Simulation, objective and subjective data analysis: closing and refining the loop
Team organization
Setup pad work and setup methodologies
Test and race preparation
Driver briefing and debriefing
Team spirit. Driver psychology.
For this seminar each participant will have to bring his own laptop. The attendance will be split in several groups that will compete against each other during several exercises (such as sensors choice for a given budget, setup to get the quickest lap time, car and driver KPI analysis, etc…) under the supervision of an OptimumG engineer. Each participant will also get a 700 + page binder. There is a special price for teams who want to attend both seminars. Again contact susanne.chastain@optimumg.com.
See you in Michigan soon!
