“We have a terrific mix of people here. We have people from the automotive industry, from the tire industry, from race teams…GT cars, NASCAR truck, Formula Student, open wheel racers and even a professor from a university,” said Claude Rouelle, of OptimumG, describing his Vehicle Dynamics Seminar presented the week of the PRI Trade Show.
A respected race engineer with 30 years experience, Rouelle opened his three-day Vehicle Dynamics & Data Acquisition seminar on Monday, November 28. The day after the seminar ended, the doors to the exhibit aisles opened for the PRI Trade Show, allowing attendees to purchase suspension components, chassis tuning tools, data acquisition systems, sensors and more to implement what they learned in the seminar.
The seminar covered such subjects as tires, aerodynamics, kinematics, steady state weight transfer, shocks, ride and transient weight transfer; data acquisition and car design, tuning modification and chassis setup. Participants of these programs come away with an understanding of how, why and how much certain factors affect vehicle behavior, rather than relying solely on experience and intuition.
"This week in December in Orlando is a 'can't miss' period of time for racing professionals," said John Kilroy, editor of PRI magazine. "Race Industry Week offers something for a wide variety of racing professionals, and we were very excited to have Claude come to Orlando to share his insights.”
