The FIA has released its Impact Data Recorder device to sporting authorities worldwide, making it accessible to grassroots motorsport. Developed with the FIA Foundation, this low-cost system has the potential to revolutionize safety in motorsport globally. By providing real-world accident data at a cost-effective price, it overcomes past barriers faced by similar technologies, especially for grassroots competitors. Measuring only six centimeters in length and weighing 12 grams, the FIA IDR is easy to attach and compatible with various motorsport disciplines. Tested by prominent series like the British Touring Car Championship and European Truck Racing Championship, its accompanying database helps standardize data storage and analysis for enhanced safety measures. FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayem aims to attract more participants to motorsport by emphasizing the role of data in driving innovation and ensuring safety across all levels of competition.
