The Future Of Motorsport? | Dynamic Suspension Control

It doesn't matter how much money you pour into the engine and electronics in your car, if the contact patch between your tyres and the track is not optimal then you're going to have subpar handling and results.

At the @semashow, Tom Chan from DSC Sport runs us through how their TracTive Suspension controllers can help drivers and teams get better results with a setup that adapts on the fly to changing driving and weather conditions as well as pre-empting requirements via g-force, vehicle speed, brake line and velocity sensors.
Interestingly a system like this can be as simple or as complicated as you wish with plug-and-play options that are tuned from the 'driver down' to simplify the process with the ability to dive into features such as an electronic bump stop which will be a much-loved feature for any car running a lot of aero such as Time Attack.
If this video looks familiar to you that is because it is from RaceCraft, a company we merged into HPA back in 2020 and the content is too good to not post up on this channel 😎

This great podcast also dives into the TracTive system: www.hpacademy.com/blog/085-doing-a-track-day-right-podcast/

[@spdcrzy]

My man just dumped more info about suspension in 14 minutes than I've understood over the past 14 years lol.

Superb interview, golden info! 🔝👌🏼

[@ben7020]

Wow totally cool !!

[@PhillipTieuChainz]

Does this actually mean that you can have a trackive system without the ugly large controller box?

[@gothicpagan.666]

The price point is at or below some of the more commonly used suspension units available for serious motor sport. Wonder how they cope with high temps?

[@FriendlyPhoton]

When was this actually recorded? Because all the shots of the products show signs with "SEMA 2019 new product", and that makes me wonder if there's been more advancements in the last 4 years

[@dearlove88]

Ironically, this same ‘future of Motorsport’ was banned in the 90’s…

[@hpa101]

Not the same, but unfortunate! - Taz.

[@roflchopter11]

There's no way this can actually replace bump rubbers for steady -state (aero load) response.

[@gothicpagan.666]

Why not? Given enough amperage any resistance to motion is possible

[@mingscustoms]

Audio has a bad whine randomly

[@patx35]

Sounds like someone fiddling with a demo unit in the background.

[@RT-kr7dk]

Isn't McLaren road cars already doing this??

[@twostorywood]

How does that help non-Mclaren owners? These are built for vehicles from multiple manufacturers.

[@RT-kr7dk]

@twostorywood Not trying to help you with anything. Just pointing out a fact.

[@memememine1]

McLaren does something competley different. In their super series cars they use hydraulics to control the roll instead of anti roll bars. I believe they also use a adaptive shock like this dsc controller. The difference is the tractive dda is the fastest reacting adaptive shock likely far faster than the McLaren shock but they do not use a hydraulic crosslinked antiroll system like the McLaren.

[@RT-kr7dk]

@@LockHeadAC103 Good luck with that!

[@byloyuripka9624]

​@@RT-kr7dkmany manufacturers have tried or use active suspension. i think cadillac tried some in the 80s or 90s if i remember correctly
