Vehicle Dynamics & Chassis Engineer

I design suspension, uprights and cooling packages that find tenths on track — and survive a full season of kerbs.

Driver briefing

Eight years in motorsport across GT endurance, Formula 3 and Formula Student. I work where CAD meets the stopwatch: suspension kinematics, composite and machined chassis parts, and the rig and track testing that proves them.

At the circuit I run car setup and correlate simulation against data loggers, then feed the results straight back into the next design release.

  1. P1GT3 class win at the 24h Spa with a redesigned brake cooling package.
  2. P2Front upright mass reduced 18% with no loss in stiffness.
  3. P3Formula Student UK — 1st in Design Event (2017).
