PMW Expo 2025: Technical Workshops to Elevate Motorsport Engineering
The PMW Expo is set to take place in Cologne from November 12–13, 2025, featuring a series of three specialized workshops aimed at delivering cutting-edge technical knowledge from industry experts in motorsport and vehicle engineering.
Workshop Schedule and Highlights
1. Simulation and Transient Handling Analysis in Motorsport
Date: November 12, 09:00–13:00
Instructors: Javier Bermejo (former Performance Engineer at Sauber F1) and Alex Burg (Director, Racetrack Dynamics).
This session focuses on state-of-the-art simulation techniques in Formula 1, combining theory with practical methods to equip engineers with applicable frameworks for real-world scenarios.
2. Design of Spring Rates for Race Cars
Date: November 12, 13:00–17:00
Instructor: Ton Serné (veteran vehicle dynamics educator).
Participants will explore essential concepts in spring rate design, including motion ratios, pre-load considerations, and frequency analysis. This hands-on workshop is tailored to provide immediate, practical applications for attendees.
3. Tyre Modelling and Simulation for Performance Prediction and Optimisation
Date: November 13, 09:00–13:00
Instructor: Professor George Mavros (Loughborough University).
This workshop will delve into tyre behaviour modelling, focusing on thermal effects, load predictions, and advanced methodologies such as the Magic Formula and machine learning applications. Attendees will gain insights into improving tyre performance and optimizing race strategies.
