LRT: Optical Strain Sensors The Lessius Racing Team is using strain gauges and the MGCplus data acquisition system from HBM for validating test results V alidation of FE Models by Using Strain Gauges A crucial part of designing an e?cient race car is the suspension system. It plays a part in reducing both weight and friction, optimizing vehicle performance. To reduce not only the total weight of the race car, but also the so-called unsprung mass, as little material as possible has to be used in the construction of thesuspension system. A low unsprung mass is important, to ensure fast response of the suspension system to bumps and potholes, maintaining constant contact of the tires with the racetrack, and providing maximum vehicle control. The sti?ness of the suspension is another important
