VESevo Smart Technology, an innovative spin-off company from the University of Naples Federico II, announces a collaboration with TU Graz Racing Team.
The team is composed of around 80 students who each season design and build a race car to compete in the international competitions of Formula Student. The collaboration introduces the VESevo tire testing system, a technology that allows non-destructive analysis of viscoelastic properties and provides precise data on tire behavior under different conditions.
Through VESevo’s technology, the team will analyze how tire performance changes during use and across temperature cycles, collecting useful data to optimize compound management, setup definition and race planning. The partnership reflects a shared commitment to technological progress and continuous improvement, supporting the connection between academic research and real-world motorsport applications.
VESevo continues to support educational and non-professional racing projects thanks to the versatility of the VESevo device, which has already been employed across multiple motorsport categories including Formula 1, Formula 2, Formula E, NASCAR, MotoGP, and Moto2.
Andrea Genovese, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of VESevo:
‘’The collaboration with TU Graz Racing Team demonstrates how advanced tire analysis can be a direct learning tool, helping students validate models and compare simulation data with real on-track results. The use of VESevo technology supports a deeper technical understanding of viscoelastic behavior, which represents an important aspect for performance analysis in every motorsport category.”
Simon Ambrosch – Head of Vehicle Dynamics and Controls
“The TU Graz Racing Team is particularly happy to start our partnership with VESevo, with this exciting company giving us access to their innovative tire testing technologies.
We are looking forward to seeing where this collaboration takes us, with the goal being clear: Persuasion of better tire understanding, and unlocking all available performance”
