Driving Simulators from VI-grade helped to Win the Formula E Championship
CAE News |
In the end, Jean-Eric Vergne won the championship for the second time in succession and also claimed the Team's title for DS Techeetah - closely followed by vice-champion Audi Sport Abt Schaeffler and its successful customer sport team Envision Virgin Racing. All three winning teams are using a combination of VI-grade static and dynamic driving simulators in order to prepare for the races. "Since all Formula E races are single-day events, teams do not have the time to change any vehicle settings on-site nor to test the car on the racetrack", said Diego Minen, Chief Technical Officer, VI-grade. "This strict timetable forces the manufacturers to rely on driving simulation technologies like ours, in order to be fully competitive in the all-electric racing series. We are thrilled to acknowledge that the top 3 teams, and more generically 6 out of the first 10 teams in the just-finished 5th FoE championship are using our simulator technology and we are looking forward to further contributing to their successes."
