Why the Alliance

Why clients choose the RacingSyn Engineering Alliance.

  1. 01

    People and experience

    Senior engineers who have designed, developed, tested and homologated vehicles at the highest levels of motorsport and automotive engineering, bringing that experience to your programme from day one.

  2. 02

    A motorsport-developed engineering culture

    Decisions based on data. Deadlines that do not move. Problems identified in simulation, design and testing before they become expensive problems on the vehicle.

  3. 03

    Complete vehicle understanding and system integration

    Chassis, suspension, aerodynamics, powertrain, electronics, packaging, performance, reliability and manufacturing have to converge into one coherent vehicle. Complete-vehicle integration is at the core of RacingSyn.

  4. 04

    Flexible expertise, tailored to the programme

    Each programme gets the specialists it actually needs, for the period in which their expertise adds value. From one senior specialist to a broader multidisciplinary engineering group.

  5. 05

    A trusted technical and supplier network

    A trusted network of specialist engineering partners, prototype manufacturers, workshops and suppliers across Italy and Europe, selected around the needs of each programme.

The RacingSyn Core

Complete-vehicle thinking at the centre of every programme.

These are the capabilities around which RacingSyn was built.

01

Complete vehicle integration

Bringing chassis, suspension, aerodynamics, powertrain, electronics, hydraulics, packaging, performance, reliability and manufacturing together into one coherent vehicle.

02

Technical & programme leadership

Turning technical objectives into a development plan, coordinating disciplines, suppliers and decisions from the first specification through prototype, testing and delivery.

03

Vehicle architecture & chief design

Defining the layout, package, interfaces and engineering targets that allow every specialist discipline to work toward the same vehicle.

Engineering Capabilities

Specialist expertise across the complete vehicle.

RacingSyn does not claim to keep every discipline permanently in-house. Through the Engineering Alliance, we select the right specialists around the technical requirements of each programme.

CAD Design & FEA

Mechanical design and structural optimisation

From chassis, suspension and mechanical assemblies to composite structures, CAD design and FEA work together to optimise strength, stiffness, fatigue life and weight before parts are built.

  • CAD Design
  • FEA
  • Structural optimisation

Vehicle Dynamics

Control, traction and performance

A large part of a racing car’s performance comes from getting the vehicle dynamics right. Suspension kinematics, tyre behaviour, weight transfer and setup are developed together to maximise traction, stability and driver control across the full operating range.

  • Suspension kinematics
  • Traction
  • Vehicle balance

Aerodynamics & Cooling

Airflow, downforce and thermal management

CFD and aerodynamic development are used to balance downforce, drag and cooling. Ducts, radiators and bodywork are optimised together, then validated through testing.

  • CFD
  • Aerodynamic development
  • Cooling optimisation

Brake System

Complete braking system development

Brake system layout, sizing and integration are developed around the vehicle and its duty cycle. Support can extend from bespoke hardware to dyno development, benchmarking and track correlation.

  • Brake system design
  • Dyno development
  • Track support

Electronics & Data

Electronics, wiring and data integration

From custom wiring harnesses and ECU integration to sensors and data acquisition, electronic systems are developed from concept through prototyping, validation and production.

  • Wiring harnesses
  • ECU integration
  • Data acquisition

Engine & Powertrain

Performance, calibration and drivability

Engine and powertrain development is focused on extracting performance while maintaining efficiency, drivability and reliability. RacingSyn supports calibration and optimisation from the test bench to the track, combining data, driver feedback, engine health monitoring and fine-tuning for changing operating conditions.

  • Engine calibration
  • Powertrain optimisation
  • Trackside development

Composite Structures

High-performance composite engineering

RacingSyn brings extensive composite-design experience from Formula 1, endurance racing, GT and high-performance road-car programmes. From carbon monocoques and structural components to lightweight bodywork, the focus is always the same: minimum mass, the required stiffness and strength, and a design that can be manufactured reliably.

  • Composite design
  • Carbon structures
  • Lightweight engineering

How the Alliance comes together

  1. Understand the challenge: the vehicle, the objective, the regulations and the timing.
  2. RacingSyn defines the vehicle architecture and coordinates the interfaces from the first day.
  3. Alliance specialists join for the disciplines the programme needs, in the phase where their expertise adds value.
  4. One defined point of technical coordination, one plan, one vehicle that converges.
