Synopsis

Join this flagship on-site course at PMW Expo 2026 and build a strong foundation in one of the most important areas of race car performance engineering.

Designed to be accessible without compromising technical depth, this course introduces the core principles of vehicle dynamics through engaging lessons, practical examples and real-world insights drawn from Formula 1. Attendees will gain a clear understanding of the systems that shape vehicle performance, handling and balance, making it an ideal starting point for those looking to deepen their knowledge of high-performance vehicle engineering.

No prior knowledge is needed for this course.

Course Overview

This full-day course is split into two sessions, one in the morning and one in the afternoon, with coffee breaks in between.

Attendees will explore the fundamentals of vehicle dynamics and how they apply in a motorsport context, with topics including:

  • Tire performance
  • Lateral dynamics
  • Weight transfer
  • Suspension design
  • Performance and simulation

By the end of the course, attendees will have a clearer understanding of the key systems involved in vehicle dynamics, how they interact, and how they influence vehicle behaviour and overall performance. A certificate of attendance will also be provided after completion of the course at the PMW Magazine Awards at the end of day 1.

 

This course is intended for:

  • Engineering students
  • Formula Student team members
  • Young professionals
  • Anyone looking to develop a foundational understanding of vehicle dynamics in motorsport
