Simufy, technological partner of the UPM Motorsport Master's degree: professional simulation applied to engineering training
Simufy is the official technological partner of the Master in Applied Motorsport Engineering at the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (MIAM-UPM), providing professional simulation hardware and technical expertise for the training of motorsport engineers and professionals in Spain. The collaboration positions advanced simulation as a real working tool within a university program designed to train highly demanding technical profiles.
The official presentation of the Master in Applied Motorsport Engineering at UPM has marked the beginning of a project that connects university education, industry, and technology applied to racing. In this new stage, Simufy participates as a technological partner, bringing its expertise in advanced simulation, professional hardware, and performance-oriented solutions.
A program connected to real motorsport engineering
The MIAM-UPM is designed to train profiles capable of working in highly demanding technological environments, where theory needs to be accompanied by practice, analysis, and adaptability. The program combines areas such as vehicle dynamics, simulation, telemetry, data analysis, materials, propulsion, and artificial intelligence, with a clear orientation towards professional application.
A proposal that aligns with the current evolution of motorsport, where every technical decision increasingly relies on data, validation, and advanced tools.
The role of Simufy: bringing professional simulation to the educational environment
The collaboration of Simufy with the MIAM-UPM stems from a concrete idea: simulation is already part of the present of motorsport and must be present in the training of those who want to work in this sector.
In practice, Simufy brings to the program:
- Professional simulation hardware: equipment from the same range used in driver preparation and technical analysis in real racing, including direct drive bases, load cell pedals, and aluminum profile cockpits.
- Expertise in configuration and performance: setup, calibration, and analysis criteria applied to educational environments, not just commercial ones.
- Industry vision: context on how racing teams integrate simulation into their technical workflow, from track preparation to telemetry analysis.
In racing, preparing a vehicle, analyzing its behavior, or making technical decisions does not depend solely on what happens on the track. Data, virtual environments, and tools that allow for testing, comparing, and adjusting before reaching the circuit carry more weight every day. From this perspective, Simufy helps students have a direct relationship with tools that are already part of modern motorsport.
Official presentation alongside companies and industry leaders
The official presentation of the master's degree brought together representatives from the university, institutions, and companies linked to motorsport development and applied technology. During the event, Simufy participated in the corporate round table alongside entities such as Fundación RACE and Lenovo, sharing its vision on the role of simulation as a tool for training, analysis, and technical preparation.
A particularly relevant context for a program that seeks to connect academic training with the real needs of the industry.
Why professional simulation is increasingly important in motorsport
Simulation allows analyzing a vehicle's behavior, testing configurations, and preparing different scenarios before hitting the track. In modern motorsport, teams from all categories, from junior formulas to international championships, integrate professional driving simulators into their technical preparation process and driver development.
It does not replace real experience on the circuit, but it does allow for arriving better prepared, with more data and more substantiated technical decisions. Therefore, integrating advanced simulation into a training program like the MIAM-UPM is not an add-on, it is part of the profile that the industry expects from a motorsport engineer today.
