Competitive racing pushes the limits of driver skill and modern feats of engineering, all while adhering to tight regulations to keep a spirit of fair competition.

Since the beginning, these vehicles have been tightly standardized, only allowing individual teams to customize certain aspects of their car. To this day, the battery must remain the same in every vehicle, so new ways to push performance are needed. Recognizing these limitations, a leading Formula E team approached Maplesoft to develop dynamic models of their car, hoping to find new ways to tweak their systems for optimal performance. By modeling the dynamics of the car, they would be better able to deve
