Objectives
After the lecture, you will be able to explain the process of creating regulations for different racing series and the motivation of companies for racing.
You will also be able to compare the requirements for racing vehicles with those for road vehicles.
You will be able to differentiate between the particular technical challenges with regard to powertrain, chassis technology, racing tires and aerodynamics, as well as their characteristics.
At the end of the course, they will be able to name the measurement technology commonly used in racing and the associated measurement variables.
Based on the contents of the lecture on strategy in racing, you will be able to make suggestions for racing strategies.
After the lecture you will be able to explain the methods of lap time simulation and to classify the resulting results.
Through the lecture you will be able to outline the tasks and functions of the driver, designer and race engineer.
In addition, you will gain an insight into the current developments in the field of autonomous motorsports.

Description
The lecture will be enriched by various speakers from the racing world.
Important: The lecture will take place in the "Ludwig-Prandtl-Hörsaal".
We will try to put the lecture slides online at least one day before the respective lecture. However, we ask for your understanding if this does not always work out. The slides can be downloaded from moodle. The lecture is worth 3 ECTS credits.
