Ep38 F1 Engineer Richard Frith On Suspension Setup And Driver Feedback - part 1 of 2

Your Data Driven Podcast

Today I'm welcoming F1 suspension guru Richard Frith to the show. Despite originally looking at aerospace, Richard Frith was recruited to the Jordan Formula 1 team by Mike Gascoyne. He fell in love with motorsports and has never looked back.

This is part 1 of a two part show. In this show you'll learn about how Richard Frith got into F1, about getting the most from relatively under resourced budgets, about how to approach your setup and testing. He also reveals where you can find the most lap time on any track. Grab a pen, grab a coffee, sit back and lets enjoy what Richard has to say.
