The innovative course has the aim of training highly qualified professionals with a solid background in Race Engineering. The applicants will gain particular specialised skills in managing all the aspects of the racing cars. The master will be taught mainly in Pavia, Italy, and fully in English. Students will gain particular specialized skills in managing all the aspects of the racing cars; they will take will be trained both on static and dynamic simulators. Along with the theoretical rationale on vehicle dynamics, the course provides students with special and specific competence in Race Engineering through 11 full days of activity on the Quattroruote ASC (Automotive Safety Centre) track and proving ground areas at Vairano (PV). The Program will lead them from the first approach to the full technical management of the racing car. MTS (Motor Technical School) provides a Fia F4 single-seater: performed by a professional pilot it is the pivot of all the technical activities. A professional race engineer with international experience guarantees the expert guidance during the unique training. Workshops with professional race engineers cover all kind of problems regarding technical topics relating car set up and performance. Furthermore, issues such as the radio communications between engineer and driver and the real meaning of teamwork are dealt with. With the Bio-mechatronics module the students are introduced to the driver/vehicle interaction methodologies and to the physiological adaptation and stress evaluation topics with particular emphasis on the psychological issues involving the relationship with the driver. Expanding their senses and managing their emotions as a key factor for success. The training program of the course is completed by the use of a Vi-Grade compact static simulator, located at the Master’s course headquarters in Palazzo Vistarino (University of Pavia), for developing vehicles in a virtual environment. Students will attend also special workshops on the Skydrive driving simulator set up at the Monza Circuit. A device specifically tuned up for the joint coaching of the pilot and the engineer. The course includes a 5-month-long internship period offered by the racing Teams partner of the Program.
