Formula 1 Caliper & Brake Test Dynamometer for AP Racing Ltd

AP Racing required a new type of Dynamometer which could match the high speed and acceleration rates achieved by Formula 1 cars. Also of importance was a design which could carry out these tests within the actual sections of car’s standard wheel and suspension assembly, mimicking the airflow through ducting and around the brake. AP Racing Selected Computer Controlled Solutions Ltd for the software and electronics control system based on our experience in this field and the number of successful test machines previously provided and maintained for AP Racing.
