As some will already know from my usual articles, I’m an engineering consultant, and I work primarily in the motorsport space.Â
I like it here for many reasons, but aside from an affinity for fast-moving vehicles, it has a much broader appeal for me as an engineer. There aren’t many areas of science that aren’t relevant in the design of a well-engineered vehicle. From fluid dynamics in airflow and cooling method to classical mechanics in vehicle dynamics, chemical processes in tyre science and combustion, electrification in modern powertrains, materials sciences, mechatronics and even medical science in ergonomics and crash safety.
The automotive engineering process must draw from such a wide range of disciplines to create a competitive product. With motorsport being a space where competitive success is judged not by a buyers market but by pure performance, this is taken up a notch further. Success or failure is clearly defined in competitive engineering. It’s an incredible platform for developing engineering expertise, applications of technology and the leadership and management skills required to organise a team of people towards a common objective at a very rapid pace.Â
