Astauto Ltd.

Astauto Ltd was established in 1991 by Sergio Rinland as a Design, Engineering and Management Consultancy Company specializes primarily in Formula 1 as a spinoff of the Brabham F1 Team. Its first client was the Italian Team Fondmetal F1, for which Sergio and his group designed a ground breaking Formula 1 car for 1992. From 2003 onwards, Astauto expanded into other forms of motorsport, ranging from Touring Cars, Indy Cars, GP2, Le Mans GT and Prototypes as well as advising companies within the Motorsport and Automotive sectors. The company’s services cover a wide range of disciplines, from the design and development of complete cars and/or components to the aerodynamic, vehicle dynamics and structural analysis and development of existing vehicles, using the latest technologies and simulation methods. Astauto also manages complete projects: in the last few years, the company has been heavily involved in Alternative Energy developments, Electric and Hybrid Cars projects for Racing and Automotive applications.
