Optimizing aerodynamic efficiency is the key to improving lap times, along with chassis tuning. For some time now, chip tuning has been regarded as an effective method. It is intended to change the material properties by introducing electrical energy into a material, thereby generating periodic charge shifts. But does this really work? Measurements on wing profiles in the wind tunnel should provide clarity.

Ralph Pütz is Chairman and Managing Director of the University of Landshut/Belicon GmbH.

Since the third race of the season (23/06) Snipptec and the Frikadelli Racing Team are working together again. Even if the performance increase in both cars is obvious and the first successes could already be achieved right away, there is still a lot of setup work waiting for the team and Snipptec to be permanently in the lead again. Please read the full report here.

Snipptec takes another chance to sponsor the RedBull AirRace and also sponsors Francois LeVot. Last year December, we were invited to the base of Francois LeVot in Camarque to modify his plane with the Snipptec system. In 2017, Francois LeVot could not get a single championship point during the season and finished last in the World Cup. With the goal of bringing LeVot to the Round of 8 on a regular basis, the Snipptec team has set itself an ambitious goal. Of course, we also secretly want to finish one or the other races on the podium. Already in the first race in Abu Dhabi Francois LeVot was able to show the potential of the Snipptec modified plane. In the Round of 14, he even flew the third fastest time. Although he was not able to repeat this result in the Round of 8, the team was satisfied with the overall result and is looking forward to the next race, which takes place from 20. – 22.04.2018 in Cannes. Here are the results

As part of the Driving Dynamics Week of the Swiss Association of Automotive Vocational Schools (SVBA) at the Buochs airfield (NW), the Snipptec technology was tested. In doing so, the promises of the system of the company Snipptec were checked with the help of a well-known Swiss racing driver. Also an explanation, understandable for everyone, finds itself

After the European Championships in Assen, the last two rounds of the French championship took place in Dijon (FR). However, Andreas Jost was able to clinch a double victory with a well-running engine (we reported) and thus twice put Peter Elkmann in second place. In the overall standings Jost could thus secure the runner-up title behind Elkmann.

From 04. August until 06.August 2017 the second round of the CIK FIA European Championship took place in Assen (NL) within the Gamma Racing Days in front of more than 100,000 spectators. This is the first event where Snipptec was present to assist Andreas Jost to increasing the performance of his supercart. After the not very good runs 1 & 2 in Donington (GB) for the European Championships, 1 x dropout and 1 x 6th place the pace should be improved significantly. The focus this weekend was to harmonize the chassis, after the first engine problems were already noticeable during the free practice. The engine problems dragged on throughout the whole weekend.
Comparing the best race laps of the years 2016 and 2017 you can clearly see the increased performance in the curves. However, the comparison also reflects the poor performance of the engine. The blue curve indicates the lap time of 2017, the red curve of 2016. You can see the significantly higher cornering speed caused by Snipptec's optimized aerodynamics and tires.
Despite the poor engine performance, Andreas Jost was able to achieve second place in the first race and the absolutely fastest race lap. In the second race, Jost was able to prevail in the race after a difficult start and shortened the gap to Elkmann in the second half of the race to three seconds and again retake the 2nd place.

Regarding the report in the current issue of "Street Magazine", Snipptec received a good response and impressed some customers for the Snipptec optimized chassis. One of these contacts turned out to be a true chassis specialist. Andreas Schranz was interested in more details and tried out the system on his BMW 118d. In the following link you can read his results. http://www.racecarsuspension.ch/snipptec/

After winning the World Cup in the penultimate race (for the first time in the RedBull Airrace history), MD21 was able to win the trophy of the fastest pilot of the whole season.
We are glad that we could contribute our part to this motorsport history.
Of course we will improve the plain of Matthias next year, so that he can defend the 2017 World Cup.

Saturday morning Frikadelli Racing achieved the first pole position in the running race season 2016. 
Under difficult condition they finished the race with the fastest racelap 7:59.858 on P7!
Only the wrong strategy stopped them to be on the podium. The potential of the snipped car is there to be on the podium again.

In episode 376 of GRIP – the Motormagazin two reports of racecars were shown which were modified with the Snipptec system.
On the one hand it was reported how Red Bull Air Race pilot Matthias Dolderer competes with his with Snipptec modified plane against a Porsche 918. The silver stripes on the wings clearly shows the Snipptec system.

On the other hand RTL2 reported on the two Snipptec supported dragster race driver Michael Vogt and Gerd Habermann. Both were competing in the ¼ mile drag race.
