Performance Engineering Applied to Formula Student | Performance Engineering Series - Ep. 5

Our lead performance engineer Bruno Finco explains how professional performance engineering can be used by a Formula Student team, using a data-driven approach to get better results. You will learn how to exploit 100% of your current car's performance, and how to improve the next year's car by properly analyzing the current data available.

It is so good to listen to a guy who really knows what he's talking about

I wish I had videos like this when I was starting my Formula SAE journey. Amazing and clear explanation!

Great video. I feel like your “car analysis” portion is catered to Formula Student teams that have the budget for advanced Data Acquisition such as the suspension potentiometers mentioned by Bruno; my school cannot afford it in this moment.

In fact, I already work in Motorsports and I have yet to use data to that level. I would love to see a future video on how to make the most out of performance at a more fundamental and basic level such as Tire pressures (from a gauge, not TPMS), sector times, track temp, etc.

This was more interesting than I thought. Not sure why it was recommended since I'm not particularly interested in this, but I was intrigued since I'm a data scientist and it's really cool stuff 😅

The view at 13:55 looks kinda familiar :D

Hey Bruno,

Amazing video!

By the way, what software did you use to create those KPI graphs, like the one in 25:29 ?

Thanks
