Technology and testing

Testing for automotive brands

Alongside racing, I test for automotive brands on the simulator and on the road and track. Fast, consistent laps and feedback engineers can use.

Driver feedback engineers can act on

Simulator testing

Back-to-back runs and setup comparisons on a driver-in-the-loop simulator, with clear lap-by-lap data and driver feedback.

Road testing

Real-world evaluation of ride, handling, steering and drivability, with structured written and verbal feedback.

Track testing

Repeatable, consistent laps to measure performance and help engineers separate car from driver.

The data

Session figures from simulator and track work. Higher on each chart means a faster lap.
