With the quantum changes to Formula 1 drivetrains introduced in 2014, new technology had to be rapidly developed with a corresponding increase in costs. This made it difficult for the smaller teams to deliver appropriate solutions at a time when budgets were being reduced. Using a combination of motorsport and automotive design and quality techniques Rockfort Engineering delivered solutions into F1 on-time and correct-first-time. The techniques used are used in our other motorsport and non-motorsport projects. In this talk, Angus Lyon from Rockfort Engineering will give an insight into the winter of 2014 in Formula 1 and explain why what was learned is of relevance to next-generation motorsport and mainstream technology developments
