Race car engineering

Building and developing race cars

From first technical concept to a fully functioning race car, or one specific part of a larger project.

Do you build complete race cars?

Yes. Depending on the project, VPR-Engineering can be involved from the first technical concept phase through to a fully functioning race car. We can also take care of specific parts of a larger project where other specialist companies are involved in the build as well.

Can you improve existing race cars?

Yes. Many projects start with an existing race car that needs to be developed further. We can look at, for example:

  • engine management
  • calibration
  • electronics
  • wiring harnesses
  • sensors
  • CAN communication
  • datalogging
  • protection strategies
  • reliability

Based on technical analysis and data we determine where improvements are possible.

Do you only chase maximum power?

No. Maximum power is only one part of a good race car. We also look at:

  • torque delivery
  • throttle response
  • traction
  • temperatures
  • boost control
  • engine protection
  • repeatability
  • driveability
  • reliability

A race car has to perform consistently throughout the conditions it was built for.
