Where winning comes naturally.
Winning race teams have been choosing OptimumG for years. Why? It’s simple: Because they want to keep winning. And we do too. It’s the attitude behind everything we do.
Every racecar team that plans to race more than once knows it has to improve. For years, teams have tapped OptimumG’s expertise in racecar engineering, data acquisition, and simulation software to make leaps in performance, and to enjoy the positive results.
But it’s also an attitude you can see plainly on the racetrack. That’s because OptimumG lives in the racing record books of the world’s most highly respected races and championships like the 24 Hours of Le Mans, Nurburgring, SpaFrancorchamps, Indy 500, and 1,000 km of Bathurst.

Complete Solution Consulting
Complete solution consulting is all about preparing and planning to extract the best from the driver, tire, and car. Then, when the light turns green in FP1, you’re on the singular path to win.
During the event, we know quick reactions are a must. That’s why we optimize vehicle performance with a methodical, data-driven process. Plus, we record all data to perform accurate analysis to ensure you have the information you need to stay ahead of the pack. After the event, we review everything, summarize what we learned, and offer recommendations for your next event.
OptimumG has you covered.
When you hire our race engineering services, you not only get a race engineer dedicated specifically to your team, but also a full team of support engineers with 20-plus years of racing experience.
What’s more, you get a customized vehicle setup for any given track with our data analysis approach. Want to know tire and brake wear? What about fuel consumption? We can predict it all with pinpoint accuracy for a robust race strategy. Need optimal settings for parameters such as tire setup, aerodynamic configurations, gearbox ratios, and chassis setups?
Here’s a list of on-track services you get:
- Data engineering
- Performance engineering
- Race strategy
- Race engineer
- Data analysis engineer
- Simulation engineer
- Tire engineer
Software
Now you can develop and design your car with software made specifically for the motorsports industry. Plus, it’s software that’s been proven—thousands have come to appreciate the results of our three offerings: OptimumTire, OptimumKinematics, and OptimumDynamics.

Seminars
In an industry with so much to know, it’s nice to have professionals who make keeping up so easy. Since our founding in 1997, OptimumG has worn a path around the globe giving game-changing seminars to the racing industry. And these aren’t your average seminars—these are seminars that have garnered accolades from some of the industry’s top leaders and engineers.
In fact, our Applied Vehicle Dynamics Seminar is said to be one of the most intense experiences you’ll have learning vehicle dynamics in a classroom setting. And our Data Driven Performance Engineering Seminar, which covers efficient data processing for better decision-making, has been lauded in numerous countries.

LMP PROJECT
We created a simulation model of an LMP to build a simulation model that helped set bump rubber gaps. We also performed a kinematic study to highlight the differences between the manufacturers.
F2 PROJECT
This study showed how OptimumG engineers can use OptimumDynamics, our proprietary software, to understand a new car’s behavior, and how different setup adjustments influence its behavior.
We completed several studies using results for the car including advanced visualization features that displayed the results in useful ways.
We used metrics from the yaw moment diagram method to evaluate the car’s grip, balance, control, and stability. The simulation included:
