Testimonials

Max’s key strength is subjective vehicle assessment.  He uses this skill and his technical knowledge to provide honest and accurate feedback valuable in competitor benchmarking and attribute delivery.  While working with Max I have found him to be professional and passionate about achieving a high standard.

Ian Hartley Senior Manager Vehicle Dynamics - Aston Martin Lagonda

Max is one of the most pleasant colleagues I have ever worked with on customers side. He has a massively huge knowledge about vehicle set up (probably due to the tire background) and always finds solutions or best compromise even in harsh situations where timing or hardware are limited.
It is always a big pleasure to work with him.

Roger-Lutz Mueller Manager - Vehicle Test Series at Continental Engineering Services

Max has a remarkable ability to assess all vehicle performances including the complex interaction of Chassis, Tyres, Powertrain and Aerodynamic systems.  I have also witnessed his inherent driving skill with speed and lap times faster than race drivers in the same vehicle while still translating his results into real world value for the customer.  Max is a highly skilled and experienced engineer, a joy to work with and I have no hesitation to recommend him.

Craig Croot Global Chief Vehicle Assessment Specialist, Nissan Motor Corporation

I can say with confidence that Max’s driving skill, acute sensitivity to subtle changes, attention to detail and ability to communicate his findings are the best I have come across in the industry. He is a perfectionist when it comes to test variables, setup and reporting. I would recommend Max as a very capable Evaluator with a top skill set for both vehicles and tires in either two or four wheel configurations.
