Some 2026 Formula Student pictures so far...

Our president, Claude Rouelle, participated as a vehicle dynamics judge at Formula SAE Brasil, Formula Student Germany, Formula Student Alpe Adria, and Formula Student France. 4 only this year, more than 160 in 28 years.

Formula Student is a very important part of OptimumG. We really value our interaction with students and the opportunity to contribute to their education as engineers.

The credit for these images goes to the media teams of the competitions mentioned above. Congratulations to all the media teams at student competitions around the world, who do an excellent job of capturing such special moments.

See you at the next ones!

At the beginning of the month, part of the OptimumG team was present at the WEC Race Rolex 6h of São Paulo.

We had the opportunity to talk with a lot of engineers, discuss their strategies, and explore what solutions they are using to improve their car's performance (by the way, you can see some of the wonderful people we met in the post).

In a long race like this, your team must be strongly aligned with the correct goals, checking the right data and acting as fast as possible. In moments like these, counting on strong, well-founded tools makes a total difference. And of course, knowing how to make good decisions, based on facts, not assumptions.

OptimumG can be your partner through all the steps of a good race, from the start of the season to the finish line of the last race.

In a 4-day seminar with 10h/day of content, reviewing the topics from time to time is part of the learning process.

The German psychologist Hermann Ebbinghaus conducted the first experiments testing his own memory in 1885. He demonstrated that we lose about 50% of new information within the first few hours if we do not review it, thereby establishing the need for spaced repetition.

In each OptimumG seminar, you'll have your own binder with all the seminar content, always being updated.

It's a great tool for improving your learning and for discussing with your team when you get home.

Join us in our next seminar at Tatuí, SP, Brazil 🇧🇷; Stuttgart, Germany 🇩🇪; Silverstone, United Kingdom 🇬🇧; Nevers, France 🇫🇷.

Simulation isn't just about pretty graphs.

Running thousands of iterations and getting colorful plots doesn't make it engineering — it makes it a high-budget video game. Real vehicle dynamics simulation means starting from the basics, modeling physical reality instead of assumptions, and validating every result against real-world data. That's the mindset we want to reward.

Introducing the OptimumG Vehicle Dynamics Simulation Excellence Award for the 22nd Formula SAE Brasil — open to any team with self-developed simulation software.

The winning team receives:
· Annual licenses for OptimumKinematics (all modules), OptimumDynamics, and OptimumTire2
· 3 free seats at an OptimumG seminar (AVD or DDPE)
· A private 1-hour session with Claude Rouelle and the OptimumG team

Submissions close July 12th. This award runs separately from your competition score, so there's no downside to entering.

What do you do when your race car setup is completely lost?

You go back to your "Magic Numbers"!

In vehicle dynamics, getting lost in setup changes is easy, but finding your way back to peak performance relies on understanding four fundamental Key Performance Indicators (KPIs): Weight Distribution, Tire Grip (Cornering Stiffness) Distribution, Aero Balance, and Anti-Roll Stiffness Distribution.

In this video, OptimumG President Claude Rouelle explains that if you understand how these four fractions interconnect, you’ve already mastered 50% of vehicle dynamics. Stop guessing with your setup and start working with delta values that correlate real track performance.

Watch the full video on our YouTube channel to understand how to apply these metrics and why "all simulations are wrong, but some are useful."

Today we bring a very simple analysis, but it can only be done once the vehicle fundamentals are well established with you.

For this, we have the Applied Vehicle Dynamics Seminar, where you can learn from the basics to the most advanced scenarios in motorsports.

This is the last week to register with a discount for the Applied Vehicle Dynamics Seminar in Adrian, MI, USA, that will happen from June 21st to June 24th.

Don't waste more opportunities to win races just because you don't master your car's behaviour.

When we test a car on a 4-post rig, we look at the vertical load variations. But what do we actually know about a tire’s vertical stiffness and damping under real track conditions?

Our engineers will tell you that minimizing tire force variation is the ultimate goal for grip. But the relationship between vertical load and lateral grip is far from linear.

If you want to know how excitation frequencies, tire stiffness variations, and non-linearities actually dictate your tire's contact patch behavior under track conditions, this is a must-read.
