Phase 1: The Foundations of Measurement

Basics of vehicle dynamics and data integrity.

●Module 1: Introduction to Dynamics – Establishing the baseline. Entry assessment, essential literature, and the core principles of vehicle movement.

●Module 2: The Hardware (Elements) – Mastering terminology. sensor types and the critical difference between Precision, Accuracy, and Resolution.

●Module 3: Data Acquisition Setup – How to configure your logger. Optimizing Sampling Frequencies, digital filters, precision to avoid "data noise."

Phase 2: From Squiggly Lines to Insights

Transforming raw data into visual tools that tell a story.

●Module 4: Graphs & Math Channels – Going deeper than speed traces. Learning Variance, building custom Math Channels, quantifying Understeer, and using Gating to isolate specific corner phases.

●Module 5: Hands-On Lab I – Putting theory to work. Real-world analysis using sample files from iconic circuits like Portland and Indianapolis.

●Module 6: Trackside Operations – The human element. Planning your sessions and defining the roles within a high-performance engineering team.

Phase 3: The System (Data, Car, Driver, Track)

This is where we synthesize the three variables that dictate a race result.

●Module 7: The Data – Efficiency is speed. Mastery of zoom functions, advanced filtering, and building high-speed analysis templates.

●Module 8: The Car – Analysing Mechanical Balance, traction limits, gear ratio optimization, and braking efficiency.

●Module 9: The Driver – Quantitative driver coaching. Using Cumulative Indexes to track consistency, gearing/shifting techniques, and "Driver Homework" protocols.

●Module 10: The Track – Reading the asphalt. Analysing track bumps, surface features, and their direct impact on Wheel Loads.

Phase 4: Mastery & Case Studies

Expanding the sensor kit and closing the loop.

●Module 11: Template Lab

●Module 12: Advanced Channels – Advanced sensors: Dampers, Tyre Pressures, and Ride Heights. Advanced math channels for aero and suspension analysis.

●Module 13: Expert Tips & Case Study Wrap-up – A deep dive into real-world scenarios. How to troubleshoot "invisible" handling issues and deliver results under pressure.

●Module 14: Technical Q&A – Open forum to discuss your specific car/data challenges and final course synthesis.
