ABOUT NIRMAL UMA SHANKAR BABU

Motorsport Engineer with a strong background in Race Engineering, Vehicle Performance Analysis, and Laptime Simulation. Currently working as a Race Engineer, supporting race operations through performance analysis, data interpretation, and insights during race weekends.My experience spans vehicle dynamics, race strategy support, and performance engineering, enabling teams to extract maximum performance from the car through data-driven decision making. I work extensively with telemetry, simulation tools, and engineering software to evaluate vehicle behaviour, optimise setup direction, and support performance development. What I Bring to Race Engineering:• Race Performance Analysis: Experienced in analysing telemetry and performance data to identify lap time opportunities, evaluate driver inputs, and optimise vehicle performance across varying track conditions.• Lap time Simulation: Skilled in building and utilising simulation models to predict vehicle performance, evaluate setup changes, and support engineering decisions during race events.• Vehicle Dynamics Understanding: Strong foundation in vehicle dynamics enabling effective interpretation of car balance, tyre behaviour, and setup sensitivities.• Engineering Tools & Software: Proficient with AIM Race Studio 3, MATLAB, SolidWorks, and advanced simulation tools, supporting data-driven engineering workflows. Core Strengths• Performance-focused mindset with strong analytical problem-solving skills• Experience supporting race operations and engineering decision-making• Ability to translate complex data into actionable performance insights• Collaborative approach working with engineers, mechanics, and driversWith a Master’s degree in Motorsport Engineering and experience in CFD, simulation, and race performance analysis. I am passionate about contributing to high-performance race teams and continuously improving vehicle performance through engineering and data analysis.#Motorsport #RaceEngineering #VehiclePerformance #DataAnalysis #Simulation #MotorsportEngineering
