Innovation in motorsport - DPR motorsport tracking gauge awarded a Certificate of Registration of Design
The DPR motorsport tracking gauge is designed to accurately attach to the
chassis of Caterham race cars thereby enabling accurate measurement of front
and rear toe. In combination with DPR motorsport's bespoke rear toe
and camber shims this enables accurate set-up of the rear De Dion suspension
in a manner that can not otherwise be achieved.
David Rowe, DPR motorsport's team principal said "There is no reason why
Caterham race cars can not be set-up to the highest level of accuracy. We
have invested in the required digital equipment to work to tolerances of 0.5 mm or
0.5 kg of weight. Where an off-the-shelf solution is not available we have
developed our own engineering solutions. In order to maintain our
competitive edge we have ensured that our intellectual property is protected by
the Registered Designs Act. With a fiercely competitive one-make series such as Caterham racing, the
cars are identical in performance and differences between the top drivers in lap
times are fractions of a second. Using our engineering based approach to
set-up provides the top drivers with the comfort of knowing that their car
set-up is 100% optimised with a consistent and repeatable set-up.
For 2009 the DPR motorsport prepared R300 gained a convincing win in the
inaugural Caterham Superlight R300 championship with a race in hand. Our
ability to accurately measure and adjust the suspension set-up was an important
contribution to this outstanding result."A unique ability to
accurately measure and set-up Caterham race cars
