High Performance Suspension Systems For Formula One Racing

Öhlins and the Audi Revolut F1 Team are collaborating on the development and integration of advanced suspension systems ahead of the team's debut in the Formula 1 World Championship. The agreement consolidates a technical cooperation focused on optimizing the dynamic setup for the demands of the premier category of motorsport.

Technical Development and Dynamic Optimization
The engineering collaboration defines Öhlins as the official shock absorber supplier for the racing team. The joint development program focuses on the design, simulation, track testing, and calibration phases of the damping components. Technical validation activities and the optimization of hydraulic responses were initiated prior to the team's track debut, with the objective of ensuring kinematic stability and consistent traction for the competition vehicles.

Engineering Collaboration and Complementary Expertise
Urban Herslöf, Technical Director of Öhlins Group, commented that the collaboration represents 'an important platform to expand the collaboration with Audi and help shape a new era of automotive performance'. The integration of chassis control technologies developed by Öhlins enables the team to accelerate data transfer and the tuning of the mechanical infrastructure of the single-seater racing cars.

Motorsport Applications and Historical Results
The synergy between the two organizations leverages a path of technical testing and experimentation initiated in endurance prototypes. From 1999 to 2016, Audi Sport employed Öhlins shock absorbers at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, achieving 13 overall victories and reaching the podium in all 18 participations. Concurrently, the suspensions were utilized in the competition vehicles of the DTM championship, starting with the Audi A4 DTM introduced in 2004.

Performance Standards and Continuous Development
Claes Hesling, Director of Auto Racing at Öhlins Group, emphasized: 'Building on this history, we are honored to support the Audi Revolut F1 Team this season as the official shock absorber supplier. With over ten years of experience in developing premier solutions for motorsport teams, Öhlins is ideally positioned to provide its technical expertise and proven track record in this new chapter of the collaboration with Audi'. The agreement formalizes the application of advanced testing procedures to satisfy strict technical regulations and ensure continuous mechanical reliability for the entire racing season.
