How data plays a role in every area of modern motorsport
The real-time link between cars on track and computer screens is crucial for ensuring safe and fair racing. The IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship relies on Bosch Motorsport’s LTE 65 4G telemetry system in every car. This system allows sensor-laden cars to transmit data to the pits and race control in real-time. Bosch’s use of the public cellular network eliminates the need for radio masts but poses challenges with increasing fan load. Bosch ensures fair data transmission by monitoring performance across the grid and utilizing frequency diagnostics. The data transferred by Bosch not only benefits engineers but also helps drivers fine-tune their setups and improve performance on the track.
