Challenges in designing measurement systems for Formula One cars

Formula One (F1) car testing requires high-precision measurement systems to collect and analyze car performance data. However, designing measurement systems for F1 cars presents numerous challenges due to the extreme operating conditions and stringent requirements for accuracy and reliability. This paper reviews recent research on the design and development of measurement systems for F1 cars, highlighting the challenges that must be overcome in order to achieve accurate and reliable data collection. The paper also addresses the problem of difficult access to research (a small number of publications due to Formula 1 teams’ reluctance to share knowledge) related to testing sensors used in F1 cars. In addition, the concept of possible laboratory tests on the resistance of sensors to overloads occurring during the race was presented. A laboratory stand for performing such tests has been presented. The paper concludes with a discussion of potential future directions for research in this field.
