UoP Racing Newsletters 1st Issue (March 2014) | Page 12

For 2014, the team is focused on conducting detailed testing sessions
throughout the whole season, in order to achieve the best in dynamic events for
the upcoming Formula Student competitions. The overall progress of that
process will allow team members to create a set of configurations of the car
(regarding vehicle dynamics plus electronics control) per dynamic event, unique
for every driver and optimum regarding ambient and other external factors
(rain, high temperatures etc).
All testing sessions so far took place on Patras Port Area (both New Patras Port
and Old Patras Port were used) that Patras Port Authorities kindly provided us.
We were happy, especially during winter and spring testing sessions, to test new
components and verify certain aspects of car’s durability while making driver’s
training realistic, as they could drive the actual car at realistic driving
conditions.
