Did you know that excellent handling in modern cars comes not only from adjusting dampers and springs, but also from precisely calibrating active chassis and powertrain systems that continually adapt to driving modes, driver inputs and road surfaces? This is the speciality of Vojtěch Hujňák, a calibration and test engineer at Porsche Engineering and founder of VoitechAcademy.com, a driver-education platform and online academy focused on vehicle dynamics and driving skills.
Vojtěch has specialised in chassis and vehicle dynamics for prototype and production-car development for seven years. When he joined Porsche Engineering in 2018, the Taycan was less than two years from its premiere. His first project involved developing predictive chassis functions, with thousands of kilometres of testing on frozen lakes in Sweden and Finland and private European circuits, while the public had no idea how the car would drive or look. Besides Porsche, he contributed to development for prestigious brands, including the new hybrid Bentley Continental GT and Flying Spur generation (2025), tuning 4WD with a direct influence on behaviour at the limit of grip, including understeer and oversteer.
Vojtěch also brings his expertise to driver education: at Porsche, he led internal training for employees testing prototypes, and today develops this approach through VoitechAcademy.com. The academy offers 1:1 coaching on closed circuits and country roads, emphasising fast, safe and measurable improvement, ideally after completing online courses so practical training can begin at full pace from the first minute. The online academy explains vehicle dynamics, correct seating, weight and geometry management, reading grip and cornering technique as taught in professional test-driver certification courses.
His activities also include **Voi TechTalks**, engaging themed talks about chassis calibration, the role of active systems (ESP, eLSD, 4WD) and how engineering decisions change vehicle behaviour in the real world, accompanied by stories from test lakes and secret proving grounds across Europe. For comprehensive driving-skill development, Vojtěch also organises petrolhead road trips combining sensible, safe sporting driving, experiences in varied conditions and community events, turning online-academy theory into confident, refined sporting driving on real roads.
Whether finely tuning Bentley’s 4WD, calibrating Porsche’s active systems or teaching and mentoring through VoitechAcademy.com, Vojtěch Hujňák shows that the best investment in a car is really an investment in your own education and understanding what happens between tyre and asphalt. On stage and on track, he shares stories about the Porsche Cayman GT4’s “long manual”, driving unreleased prototypes on ice and how proper calibration transforms modern cars’ handling and safety. He continues through online courses, 1:1 coaching, Voi TechTalks and road trips that connect leading vehicle development with informed, joyful driving.
