Winning formula: technology in the fast lane

Behind every racing car or bike and driver, there is a multidisciplinary team of expert engineers, technicians and scientists using cutting-edge technology. Rewind to one year before the race. The team begin working on the challenge to improve every aspect of performance which can make the few seconds difference between winning and losing. Using a series of live interactive demonstrations the Faraday explores this challenge in detail by going behind the scenes to reveal some of the secrets of the world of motorsport.

Along with exciting real life applications of science and technology, we look at how materials, design, aerodynamics, control and communication systems, traction, torque, telemetry, communications and safety considerations can all contribute to success or failure on race day. We demonstrate the exciting innovations developed by pioneering engineers that have made the UK so respected throughout the world in the field of motorsports.
