Episode Synopsis

As our engineering insights series returns, we are joined by Mike Law, a greatly experienced vehicle dynamicist working at the highest levels of motorsport..

Sit with us over the next few episodes as we explore vehicle dynamics and dive in to some key concepts in developing performance in racing cars.

In the first episode, we set the scene by exploring the five key factors influencing performance:

- The Powertrain
- Weight
- The Driver
- Tyres
- Aerodynamics

Mike has a book published called "Ace Thinking" which takes the skills and experience he's gained developing race cars to create a framework for approaching tasks, engineering and otherwise.
