The Master in Race Engineering at the University of Pavia is dedicated to training technical professionals specialized in the management and development of racing cars. The program provides advanced skills in key areas such as vehicle dynamics, car setup, CAE simulation, data acquisition, and trackside engineering activities.
Through lectures, simulation tools, practical sessions, and experimental activities with Formula and GT cars, students learn how to analyze vehicle behavior, interpret data, and turn information into technical decisions focused on performance.
Race Engineering represents the connection between the car, the driver, the data, and the team. Every setup choice, every feedback, and every parameter analyzed becomes a tool to improve competitiveness, reliability, and on-track performance.
The Master in Car Test Driving and Simulation is focused on the world of vehicle testing, validation, and dynamic vehicle development. The program trains professionals capable of working across different stages of automotive development, from dynamic simulation and prototype testing to the fine-tuning of pre-production vehicles.
Students explore vehicle testing methodologies, CAE tools, simulators, on-track and on-road testing activities, with the goal of evaluating, understanding, and optimizing the dynamic behavior of the vehicle.
Car testing is an essential phase of vehicle development. It combines objective data, driving sensitivity, structured feedback, and engineering methodology to turn every test session into an opportunity for improvement.
For AxD Link, training is not only about transferring knowledge. It is a concrete path of technical and professional growth, designed to bring students closer to the real needs of the industry.
We believe in an approach that combines theory and practice, bringing into the educational process the experience, tools, and methodologies used in the automotive, motorsport, and testing environments.
From the track to the simulator, from data analysis to vehicle validation, every activity becomes part of a structured process aimed at developing skills that can be directly applied in the professional world.
The collaboration with the University of Pavia was created with this vision: building a bridge between academia, industry, and performance.
Race Engineering is the technical core of competition. It means understanding the car, interpreting data, working closely with the driver, and making fast, targeted decisions to improve performance on track.
Car testing makes it possible to evaluate and validate vehicle behavior through experimental activities, simulation, and structured feedback. It is a key process to improve safety, performance, and dynamic quality.
Professional growth comes from the combination of theory and practice. Track activities, test sessions, simulation, and interaction with industry professionals allow students to develop a results-oriented engineering approach.
Through this collaboration, AxD Link aims to support the growth of new professionals capable of contributing to the evolution of the automotive and motorsport sectors. The objective is to promote a concrete, up-to-date, and industry-oriented training process, where innovation, precision, passion, and method become the foundation for facing the future challenges of vehicle development and competition.
