Looking to set up your car's suspension?

A number of FS teams have booked half day sessions with us from the 16-18 June this year to optimise their vehicles prior to the Silverstone competition in July. Typically we have planned for two teams per day with one half for the rig test and the second half for an introduction to Multimatic, what we do and careers with us. We have a few slots remaining that are available to other FS teams if they would like to come and use our facility.

The available slots are Tuesday 16 June 13:30 to 18:00 and Wednesday 17 June 08:30 to 12:00. The teams, with their car, would need to be at the rig 30mins before their session starts. There is a fee of £350 for their session which includes:

Vehicle installation
Data acquisition and analysis
Guidance on the results and how to set up the cars for optimum performance.

Teams would need to provide all the equipment for their cars and suspension options and tools if they so wish to test them. If teams require different damper specifications to be tested, they will need to bring their own equipment or relevant personnel (unfortunately Multimatic personnel would not be able to provide this support).

If there are enough requests from teams to require 2-4 more sessions to be made available, these would be on Monday 15^tJune and possibly Friday 19 June.

If there are any interested teams, please contact any or all of the following three people at Multimatic:

Dan Bridgman dbridgman@multimatic.com
Jonathan Davis jdavis3@multimatic.com
Leena Gade lgade@multimatic.com.

Utilising Multimatic’s proprietary post-processing routines, customers (both automotive and race team) have used the rig to gain a deep understanding of their vehicle’s vertical dynamics and explore tuning options for maximum performance.

Fundamental vehicle parameters are identified and optimised using performance metrics with analysis of the pure vertical case (treating the vehicle as a sprung mass damper system).
