Week 1: The Racing Buggy Build Begins! This week marked the exciting kickoff of my racing buggy project, and it’s been quite the rollercoaster already! Wednesday: Journeyed to Kaiwaka to pick up what was supposed to be a complete Hyosung GT250 engine package. Unfortunately, I ended up with faulty parts, no CDI, and a wiring loom meant for another bike. A bit of a setback, but I wasn't going to let that stop progress. Friday: Not one to be deterred, I headed to Thames and secured a Yamaha R3 engine from a crashed bike. This time, I made sure to verify everything, and though it wasn’t running initially, some perseverance with a multimeter and a complex wiring diagram paid off – managed to hotwire the ignition, and it runs with no issues. Sunday: A trip to Matamata added a sweet bucket seat, because what’s a racing buggy without the proper racing seat? Shoutout to my passenger princess Dante Martin, for being my trusty Google Maps operator. Stay tuned for more updates as the build progresses! #engineering #engineer #offroad #ATV #project #UoAEngineering #UoA #RacingBuggyBuild #ProjectUpdate #EngineeringChallenges #MechanicalEngineering #DIYProjects #Motorsports

Hedda Hosås on developing the groundbreaking Pioneer 25 Extreme H car The Extreme H car, the Pioneer 25, has undergone an intensive testing programme ever since the world’s first hydrogen racing series was announced. Hedda Hosås, who has competed in three of the four Extreme E seasons – taking one podium finish – has been one of the development drivers of the Pioneer 25. Hedda Hosås, Extreme H Development Driver said; "Driving the Pioneer 25, the world's first Extreme H car, has been an exhilarating experience. This car is a significant evolution from the previous models, with many improvements based on lessons learned from three seasons of Extreme E. Our testing has focused on both reliability and performance. The goal has been to improve on what we've raced before and evolve the championship."

SIMULATOR: Dynisma to supply simulator technology to Rodin Motorsport Rodin Motorsport will use the DMG-1 #simulator as an engineering tool for vehicle set-up, performance optimization and driver preparation for all racetracks. The simulator will also play an important role in race car development ahead of the 2025 season. Rodin Motorsport owner David Dicker said, “I’m incredibly proud of the work we’ve put in so far, and this is the next step; I can’t wait for our drivers to begin using this, and our #engineers to utilise this amazing piece of #technology fully.” F2 team manager Benn Huntingford said, “Having a simulator on site of the standard of DMG-1 is going to be a game changer internally for how we approach our seasons. Not only will we be able to continue our push with our driver preparation, but it allows us the opportunity to really look at our car set-up and evaluate things in a landscape where testing just isn’t possible."

Formula 1 is the world’s fastest lab. If you can do this, you can do any kind of light,' says lighting application specialist. Night racing can be high-speed and high-stakes. F1 driver George Russell's first-hand experience with night racing is a testament to Signify and DZ Engineering srl'S collaboration in designing track lighting for both the Las Vegas Strip Circuit as well as the Marina Bay Circuit in Singapore. Going into the Las Vegas Grand Prix this week with our partners at Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS Formula One Team, we are proud to be on the forefront of this innovation. #SignifyxMercedesAMGPetronasF1Team #DrivenbyResponsibleInnovation #WeareSignify

An interesting read about the collaboration between DE&S and McClaren Racing.

#whenithastoberight not to talk about #RedBull 😉 Let us talk about the Raceyard Formula Student Team Kiel from #FHKiel (unfortunately only in German - but with beautiful pictures) With the #tactile_measurement of the carbon monocoque chassis, the student team determines the deviation of the chassis points on the real vehicle compared to the CAD model. The combination of #tactile_measurement and #scanning of the monocoque allows #Raceyard to check whether the deviations in the chassis points result from the monocoque production or the milling process. This allows the students to find out whether problems with driving dynamics are production-related. The measurement data flows directly into the development of the racing car. #wherequalitycomestogether it must be #HxGN #sCMM #AbsoluteArm #AbsoluteScanning #AS1 #PCDMIS 🏆 Thanks to Raceyard Formula Student Team Kiel for sharing, great job
