SOUTH WALES BRANCH

Technology in
Formula 1 Racing

Chris Laws

Vehicle Dynamics Engineer,
McLaren F1 Racing

Chris Laws is one of McLaren Racing's vehicle dynamics engineers. For Chris, computers that work at 200mph while being baked and shaken are just as normal as CAD and simulation systems in an air-conditioned office.

Chris will explain how computers help make the race, the team and the business a success. He'll talk about the importance of effective in-car, trackside, design and simulation systems.
