Motorsport UK has made it mandatory for Impact Data Recorders to be installed in all cars participating in British and junior racing championships immediately, considering a broader rollout in the future. These devices, weighing only 12 grams, measure the impacts of crashes to provide detailed information on the car’s movements during accidents. Unlike more expensive Accident Data Recorders, Impact Data Recorders are user-friendly, allowing data to be easily accessed through a phone app using a QR code. Priced at £50, manufactured by Impact Detect of the Aim Technologies Group, Motorsport UK anticipates a price reduction with bulk orders. Trials in the British Touring Car Championship have demonstrated the potential benefits of these devices, including improving safety protocols and addressing potential medical concerns. While currently limited to certain championships, Motorsport UK foresees a wider implementation by 2026, potentially influencing accident trend analysis, venue adjustments, and overall safety management practices in various racing disciplines. Ryan also highlighted the potential impact on insurance costs, emphasizing the importance of mitigating risks to maintain reasonable insurance expenses within the sport.
