VPR-ENGINEERING

Project approach

From technical intake to continued development

On larger or technically complex projects we prefer to start with a technical intake.

A technician manually adjusts a fuel-flow measuring instrument over a graduated cylinder during calibration work.

Can you assess my car or project first?

Yes. On larger or technically complex projects we prefer to start with a technical intake. In it we discuss the current car, engine, electronics, existing modifications, application, problems, objectives, timeline and the available budget.

Do you work with a project budget?

Yes. On larger projects it is important to know in advance what budget is available. That allows us to develop a technical concept that not only meets the objectives, but can also realistically be carried out within the project budget.

Can you give a fixed price in advance?

That depends on the work. Clearly defined work can often be quoted in advance. With development, diagnostics, research and R&D it is not always possible to determine exactly how many engineering hours will be required. In that case we agree in advance how the work and hours will be calculated.

Do you work together with other specialists?

Yes. Larger race and motorsport projects can require several disciplines. VPR-Engineering can work with engine builders, chassis and suspension specialists, fabricators and other technical suppliers. In doing so we can be responsible for one specific technical element or fulfil a broader engineering role within the project.

Can I engage VPR-Engineering for engineering only?

Yes. A car does not have to be built entirely by VPR-Engineering. We can also be engaged separately for, for example:

  • engineering
  • ECU calibration
  • electronics
  • wiring harnesses
  • CAN integration
  • datalogging
  • diagnostics
  • parts specification
  • technical advice

Depending on the assignment, engineering and advice are invoiced on the agreed scope or on time spent.

Can you keep developing a race car after delivery?

Yes. A serious race car is rarely fully developed after the first build or calibration. Based on datalogging, driver feedback, technical changes and practical experience we can keep optimising the car throughout its life cycle.
