Daniel Abt has also been putting in some powerful performances, and ended up leading the performance ratings during testing in Valencia at the start of October. This time round, the testing campaign concentrated on race simulations and the optimization of energy management. “As a technology partner, we’re especially looking forward to an exciting Formula E championship. The Audi Sport ABT Schaeffler team is perfectly placed to compete, both in terms of technology and thanks to its two drivers Lucas di Grassi and Daniel Abt. Our engineers will be providing them with the very best support in the management of the electric powertrain – including energy strategy and a cockpit display to act as a human-machine interface for the visualization of energy metrics,” says Thomas Schiller, who heads the Motorsport business unit at ITK Engineering.
Harnessing competitive advantages at the development stage
In its work with Audi Sport, ITK covers the whole software development cycle – from the analysis of requirements, through development, all the way to safeguarding and integration into the vehicle. “We help the team to get the most out of the vehicles so that they can gain a clear competitive edge and achieve the ultimate goal, which is of course to win the race,” says Schiller.
