Recently, Eric Blandin, technical director of Aston Martin, revealed that incorrect data produced in a simulator hindered the development of the Aston Martin car in the second half of the year. According to Krack, the problem has been resolved, but the complexity of current cars is a complicating factor.
“Cars are complex and you try to improve them all the time. Then, when it brings updates — we know the problems we had in Austin — I don’t think we have to go through them again,” she commented. “At the Austin race, we were very happy with the way everything went, but then we went to Mexico and we weren’t where we thought we would be or the car didn’t do what was expected”, he continued.
“It’s something we need to work on, as we have other tracks with [curvas] low and different characteristics, so it is important to understand what you are doing”, he defended. “The best solution to understand is to revert to something, compare it to something you know. From an engineering point of view, this is the best approach”, he concluded.
