Setup Genius for Race Engineers
A freelance race engineer might run four different cars across a season, each with its own history, quirks and owner. Setup Genius keeps every client's data in its own team with the engineer as a member, provides the everyday calculators (spring and wheel rate, roll centre, gear speeds, shock velocity histograms) in one place, and leaves the owner with a complete record when the engagement ends.
| Calculator | Inputs | Output |
|---|---|---|
| Spring rate converter | Rate in lb/in, N/mm or kg/mm | All units plus wheel rate from motion ratio |
| Dual spring calculator | Two spring rates and travel to bind | Combined rate before and after crossover |
| Roll centre and CG height | Pickup point coordinates, corner weights | Roll centre heights and moment arms |
| Gear ratio and final drive | Ratios, tyre diameter, RPM limit | Speed per gear and RPM drops |
| Shock velocity analyser | Damper position export | Velocity histogram per damper |
Working with multiple clients
Each client owns a team and invites you. Their setups, vehicles and drivers stay theirs, you see everything you need, and when the season ends they keep the record. From your side, every car you work on is one login away.
Briefing the crew
Changes you make from the timing stand appear on the mechanics' phones immediately, with the change summary showing exactly what moved. The print view produces a setup sheet for the garage. Notes and attachments carry the debrief, so nothing lives only in your laptop.
Frequently asked questions
Can I keep my own notes private from the client?
Setup data within a team is shared. Keep personal working notes outside the team or in your own account.
Does the AI know my category's rules?
You can write AI rules per template, such as spring rate ranges allowed by the regulations or changes the series prohibits, and Apex follows them.
Which plan do I need as an engineer?
If clients own the teams, you only need a Free account to be invited. For your own cars and calculators, Pro or Elite.
