Motorsport & high-performance engineering
Most engineering
stops at the answer.We start there.
The deeper read on performance, for race teams, manufacturers and engineers who need one. At the track and in development.
Approach
The symptom shouts. The cause hides in the noise. Find the signal.
We read the car as a system and work back to what's driving it: in development long before a wheel turns, and trackside when the call can't wait.
Ways to work with us
Four ways in. One standard.
Trackside
Race and performance engineering for teams in competition. At the event, in the data, in the decisions that matter when the session is live.
High-performance development
Engineering support for ambitious vehicle programmes: vehicle dynamics, aerodynamics, simulation and design from concept to circuit.
–Concierge
Private engineering for the performance car owner. The same methods we bring to race programmes, available on request.
–Learn
Automotive & motorsport engineering education built around first principles. One formal course online, alongside seminars and speaking for teams, universities and engineering audiences.

The practice
Experience close to performance.
Race & performance engineering. Hypercar development. Racecar design. High-fidelity simulation. One practice built around understanding performance.

Field notes (essays & analysis)
A record of how we think, not just what we know.
Field note · Tyre energy
Grip isn't temperature. It's energy.
A tyre makes its biggest forces near maximum hysteresis, where it absorbs the most energy. The real performance lever is the energy each tyre sees, shaped by setup, driver input and track surface. A constantly moving window varying with with compound, degradation and track condition.

The Principles of Anti-Geometry
'Anti-Geometry' features on many of our favourite race cars, but what exactly is it and what are the physical principles defining it?
