FREE SEMINAR: Digital Pull Down Rig | Take the mystery out of suspension set up

Digital Pull Down Rig | Take the mystery out of suspension set up

Collins Limited, a UK-based race car development agency, are attending the Pioneer Pole Building Motorsports 2025 Show, to deliver a seminar at 4:30pm Saturday, titled “Digital Pull Down Rig”. They will present their first-principles approach to vehicle dynamics and showcase their in-house developed pull down rig suspension setup software.

Australian brothers Jilbruke and Jenner Collins co-founded Collins Limited in 2014 on the back of two decades in motorsport spanning grass roots motorsport in Australia to Formula 1, Indycar and Le Mans prototype sports cars in the UK. After spending five years at Cooper Tire in Ohio leading the tire simulation group, Jilbruke headed to the UK in 2011, where the brothers worked at Wirth Research, developing the Honda Performance Developments driver-in-the-loop simulator together.

Collins Limited was formed with the aim of bring the often-secretive technologies and experience in F1 and automotive companies to a wider audience.

The company lead the R&D for the VUHL05 RR track day car, developing the aero, charge air cooler and dry sump packages. Supporting the Manor F1 team they designed the team’s first quick drop pit stop jack and the steering wheel for the stillborn 2017 F1 challenger. Collins Limited The team have developed a low-cost combustion pressure measurement hardware and software to support clients to find performance or problem solve issues, such as ensuring the engine has matched flow across the cylinders.

In 2018 the company began its first foray in to track side race engineering and in 2019 race engineered for West Surrey Racing, run by the legendary Dick Bennetts, who ran Ayrton Senna in Formula 3 in 1983. Very quickly it became clear that software solutions could be used to educate decision making and save time at the track…leading us to the Digital Pull Down Rig.

The Digital Pull Down Rig software tool is run alongside the physical car and is used for development work back at the factory, and for fast and accurate set up changes at the track. An oval car is asymmetric and has a great number of set up variables: the software takes the mystery away from set up changes educating drivers and teams to learn what works for them.

The duo has developed a number of other motorsport software tools for drivers, including video and statistical, performance analysis, all in name of finding them and their clients, an unfair advantage.

A native of  Hazlet, NJ , Evernham’s racing journey began in the Modern Stock class in his home state before progressing into the  Modified division  at Wall Stadium and  New Egypt Speedway. His transition to the national stage brought him to  NASCAR, where he cemented his legacy with three  NASCAR Winston Cup Series championships with driver  Jeff Gordon  and his induction into the  NASCAR Hall of Fame in 2018.

As part of the PPB Motorsports 2025 Show, Evernham will participate in a  Friday roundtable discussion with special guest Bill Elliott focused on his national efforts in the sport, where they will share stories and insights from his storied career in NASCAR. 

On Saturday afternoon, Evernham will return to the stage to relive the early days of his career in  racing  with several of his fellow Modified competitors, including Gil Hearne, Jerry Cranmer and Charlie Kremer. The panel will provide fans with a unique opportunity to hear firsthand accounts from those who raced alongside Evernham in his early years.

Throughout the weekend, Evernham and Elliott will be available for  autographs while allowing fans to meet the racing legends up close. Additionally,  several special race cars from Evernham’s personal collection  will be on display, showcasing the vehicles that helped shape his career including Jeff Gordon’s NASCAR Cup series No. 24 car he drove in his rookie season with Ray as crew chief. A dedicated  photo wall  will also be featured, celebrating his five decades in the sport.

For fans eager to learn more about Evernham’s journey, a newly published book titled  “Trophies and Scars” will be available for purchase at the show. The book offers an in-depth look at his career, capturing both the triumphs and challenges that have defined his legendary time in racing.

Evernham’s influence on motorsports is unparalleled. His leadership and innovations helped Gordon win 47 Cup races and remain a dominant force in NASCAR throughout the 1990s.

Evernham later founded  Evernham Motorsports , leading the team from 2000 to 2010 with several top drivers that included Elliott. Under Evernham’s leadership, the team played a pivotal role in bringing  Dodge  back to NASCAR.
