Design constraints sharpen leadership Motorsport design has been pushed to excel by the intense delivery constraints of the sport and the physical stress to which the components are subjected. Clever design engineers, digital product development that avoids prototypes and powerful PLM software are keeping motorsport the leading industry for design-to-manufacture, says Will Stirling.

Motorsport design engineers are often among the best in their profession for two reasons: 1) skills are honed by the intense, time-urgent delivery constraints their industry works to, and 2) the components they design for manufacture must perform at ultra-high loads and temperatures, and often need to be machined and assembled far more quickly than…
