Speed 250 while stationary
The hydraulically operated vertical dynamics test bench from Team Rosberg Engineering (TRE GmbH) allows chassis tests for motorsports and production vehicles to be simulated under realistic conditions.
Whether Formula 1, Le Mans prototypes, or production vehicles: the chassis is crucial for the safety and dynamics of a car. Tests are essential for tuning shock absorbers, springs, and other components. With its 7-point vertical dynamics test bench, TRE is moving testing from the track to the hall.
Even the first chicane demands everything from the GT3 class sports car with over 500 hp. The Prima Variante is notorious for being narrow. Drivers have to brake from well over 250 km/h to “only” 70 km/h in the shortest possible time on the long start and finish straight and master a demanding combination of a 90-degree right-hand bend followed by a tight left-hand bend in the shortest possible time. While the sports car follows its ideal line lap after lap with the precision of a Swiss watch, numerous sensors record the forces acting on the sports car’s chassis. The purpose of this test drive on the six-kilometer circuit is to analyze and optimize the interaction of components such as shock absorbers and springs. The goal: maximum driving dynamics and a vehicle that remains safe and controllable at all times, even at the limits…
