  • Are Your Leaving Time On The Track By Not Regularly Checking Your Tyre Temps and Pressures?? - April 2025 Newsletter

    Welcome to the April 2025 JB Data Engineering Newsletter. If you’re like us, this time of year is flat-out busy with testing, setups and intense preparation in the workshop ahead of the opening weekends of many championships. The time for talking is over, the racing gets real and now’s the time you find out if all your preparation and planning has taken you, your team and your car in the right direction.   In this month’s news. we’ll be taking a detailed look at the RaceSense Tyre Gauge with optional temperature probe. Taking regular tyre temperature and pressure readings is essential to perfecting your setup and lengthening tyre life. Using the traditional gauge, pyrometer and recording data manually takes time, with  every second of delay reducing the accuracy of your readings. We explain why the RaceSense Tyre Gauge should be an essential tool for you at the track. You may have noticed that we now have a ‘Book’ button at the base of the newsletter. If you want to discuss a technical issue, review options for new equipment purchases or generally get advice about data and video capture, you can book a 30-minute telephone consultation where we can discuss your issues in detail and provide solutions. At just £20.00 + VAT for half an hour, we think this represents excellent value and we hope we can provide some insightful support for you during that time. A 30-minute consultation with a data engineering expert could be invaluable if you’re struggling with an issue and just want a detailed conversation. Click the ‘Book’ button at the base of this newsletter to set your appointment. Finally, although the dairy is now pretty much full for weekends up to the end of season, if you need support at test sessions, please email us at www.jbdataengineering.co.uk or call (44) 7717 562169 . We’d be delighted to see of we can help. The RaceSense Tyre Gauge Changes The Game! Tyre pressures and temperatures are racing’s gold. Get them right and lap times drop while tyres last longer. Normally you’d be juggling a pressure gauge, pyrometer, a notebook and a pen while rushing to capture accurate data before tyres cool.   The RaceSense Tyre Gauge changes the game. Here are six reasons why we think the RaceSense Tyre Gauge should be essential equipment in your tool box.   1) Record Pressures Fast and Accurately: Record pressures on all four tyres without pressing any buttons. The starting tyre and direction (i.e. FL, RL, RR, FR - clockwise or anti-clockwise) can be preset, as can two- and four-tyre mode. The unit has the capacity for seven vehicles, allowing for easy switching between entries for a multi-car team.   2) Some Like It Hot: Include the optional thermocouple probe and the RaceSense Tyre Gauge can record the inner, middle and outer tyre temperatures. Data captured is accurate to within +/-1º C and the unit will additionally record time, date and ambient temperature, all of which can be exported. 3) There’s An App For That: The RaceSense Tyre Gauge has a built-in phone link, allowing you to upload data in less than a second and view it in the RaceSense app. If your phone isn’t available, you can plug the gauge directly into your laptop and download a CSV file.   4) Keep Your Data Secret: Instead of displaying your pressures on the RaceSense Tyre Gauge for all to see, select OFFSET MODE. This allows you to input your desired pressures beforehand, with the unit then showing the offset from these values rather than actual pressures on the screen. Adjust pressures until you reach zero and no one will know what pressures you’re running 5) It’s Tough!: The RaceSense Tyre Gauges’s die-cast, powder-coated, water-resistant aluminium case is designed to take a beating and with its durable polycarbonate screen, this tool will be a trackside essential for many years to come….as long as someone doesn’t ‘borrow’ it in the meantime! (Pro Tip: Inscribe your name on it.)   6) Battery Life Will Not Be a Problem: The RaceSense Tyre Gauge charges, upgrades and downloads via a USB connection and a single charge will last for 24 hours when the unit is in constant use - perfect for the world’s longest endurance races! Remember: Using the RaceSense Tyre Gauge transforms the collection of tyre data and ambient conditions. Move away from collecting temperature and pressure data when you remember, to making it one of your most reliable data sets with the RaceSense Tyre Gauge!

  • Is your data logger ready for 2025? - March 2025 Newsletter

    Welcome to the March 2025 JB Data Engineering Newsletter. Welcome to the March newsletter! The UK winter is almost behind us and already championships and series are starting to spring to life. With the Asian Le Mans Series completed and IMSA’s Rolex 24 at Daytona and the FIA WEC’s Qatar 1812km run, now seems the right time to jump into the European and domestic seasons and go racing!   In this newsletter, we’re offering five tips to make sure your data logging and video equipment is in perfect shape for those early-season tests and opening rounds. Be sure to check them out and if you need support, spares or new equipment, visit   www.jbdataengineering.co.uk   or call (44) 7717 562169 . We’d be delighted to help!     Already at this early stage in the year we’re deep in the numbers – preparing to analyse, optimise and fine-tune performance where it counts. Our schedule for 2025 is packed with exciting projects but we may have room for one or two teams looking to gain that extra edge. If you need expert data insights to sharpen your race strategy, now’s the time to get in touch.   Availability is always tight but if you reach out soon, we might  be able to fit you in. Whether it’s refining telemetry analysis, supplying and installing new equipment or providing real-time race support, we’re here to help you make smarter, faster decisions. Let’s talk before the opportunity passes – because in motorsport, every second counts. Check now - save time later! Five tips to ensure your video and data loging equipment is ready for 2025 Have you inspected the installation of your video and data logging equipment since the last time your car was out on circuit? Ahead of the start of the new season, here are five tips from JB Data Engineering that will help ensure your data equipment is in the best possible shape for the opening round.   1) Visually check your data and video equipment   Check all the wiring and connections to make sure there are no signs of obvious wear and tear, fatigue or damage due to water, heat or contact. Review the complete system; from power source and cabling to camera and sensor installations. 2) Stable power is critical Check to make sure you have a stable power supply. Unstable power can lead to intermittent data loss, noise in the sensor readings, random mid-session system re-boots and corrupted log files. Use a voltage regulator to ensure your system is getting a steady 12V supply, inspect grounding and wiring and, finally, check your alternator and battery health. If data is glitchy, the readings are erratic or you experience unexpected resets, voltage instability is a likely culprit. (Photo: JB Data Engineering) 3) Optimise GPS antenna placement Make sure the placement of your GPS antenna is optimal. Avoid placing it in the car or under metal structures like roll cages. If the roof is carbon fibre, use a ground plane to improve reception. Fit the antenna so that it’s level and facing straight up to properly receive satellite signals. Lastly, use a high-quality, low-loss and short (under 3-metre) cable to minimise signal degradation 4) Don’t over-tighten cable ties If you’re cable-tying your cables to the chassis or roll-cage, make sure there is enough room so that the cables can move slightly under the cable tie. Over-tightened cable ties can result in breakages and data loss. When cabling the camera, it’s important to allow some slack to the cable at the back of camera case. Make sure you don’t overly bend any of the cables as this can cause interference or block signals back to the main unit. 5) Read the Regulations Check the technical regulations for camera placement in the series you’ve entered. Some championships require forward-facing and rear-facing cameras. Other require a camera pointed at the driver and one forward-facing camera. Avoid scrutineering hiccups with a pre-season check of the regulations.   Remember: Checks now will save you valuable time at the circuit and ensure your data and video feeds are consistent, accurate and are of high quality We hope these suggestions help you to maximise your test session. JB Data Engineering has extensive experience working with engineers and drivers to create effective test plans. If you’d like to benefit from our guidance to get the best from your day - whether as a team or a driver - please contact us on 00 (44) 7717 562169 to explore how we can help.

  • Get Ready to Test - February 2025 Newsletter

    Welcome to the February 2025 JB Data Engineering Newsletter. Welcome to the February 2025 newsletter! We are delighted to report that the year has begun on a very positive note for JB Data Engineering with many new enquiries for data support, resulting in a diary that is filling up fast. We hope this means that UK motorsport is in for a bumper season with packed grids and great racing!   Due to demand, if you would like to book JB Data Engineering for the 2025 season, we would suggest contacting us as soon as you can to ensure your booking is confirmed.   (Autosport International 2025 - Photo: Britcar)   We attended Autosport International for the two trade days in early January and it was great to catch up with old friends and make new contacts. Although the show may not have quite re-captured the magic of the early ‘00s, there was plenty to see and, as a place to network and make plans for 2025, it was invaluable.   With bookings now being made for the first pre-season test sessions, we’ve included our suggestions in this newsletter to help you optimise your valuable track time. Having attended many test sessions, JB Data Engineering has extensive experience in planning test day programmes so we hope you find our guidance useful in preparing for your first laps of 2025.     Please call us on (44) 7717 562169 or email jordan@jbdataengineering.co.uk if you would like to discuss your season and book our services. We’d love to hear from you! Maximise Your Test Day Performance with These Key Tips As drivers and teams gear up for their first test sessions of the new season, preparation is crucial. Given the significant costs in getting a car to the circuit, JB Data Engineering has compiled six key recommendations to help you make your return to the track in 2025 as efficient and productive as possible.   1) Review Past Data and Footage If this is your first session back since last season, check for any onboard video or data you can review in advance. Pay particular attention to your gear selection for each corner to refresh your memory and identify potential improvements.   2) Use a Simulator If you have access to a simulator, spend time reacquainting yourself with the circuit. This will allow you to focus on car performance at the circuit rather than re-learning the track layout. (Photo: JB Data Engineering)   3) Account for Track Changes   Many MSV circuits undergo maintenance during the winter, often leading to resurfaced corners or entire sections of track. This means that your braking and throttle reference points may need adjustment, even if your gear selection remains the same. 4) Prepare a Circuit Map   Annotate a track map with gear selections before arriving at the circuit. Reviewing the map before heading out on-track will reinforce key points, allowing you to focus on specific corners as you build up speed. If you struggle with a particular section, cross-check your gear selection to ensure optimal performance. 5) Utilise Live Data Feedback   At offical Tests Days (not Track Days, where regulations differ), make the most of live data tools. If you’re using VBox equipment, enable the OLED display with live delta or use the live delta function for your chosen dash logger.  For AiM devices, use the dash function or Solo 2 to monitor performance before and after each corner. If you’re losing time, highlight that section on your track map when you get back to the garage and focus on improving it throughout the session. Prioritising the biggest and easiest gains will boost your confidence and that will naturally lead to improved lap times. 6) Follow a Structured Test Plan If you’re testing with a professional team, expect a structured plan. A typical day usually starts with an initial shake-down lap followed by four or five timed laps to get you reacquainted with the car. Your engineer will then collect feedback before you complete a race stint of around ten laps, leading to a data review and potential car adjustments. Many teams conduct qualifying runs in the early afternoon when the track is warm and quiet, before concluding with more race stints and a final review of the days results.   Remember: Consistency is key! Avoid focusing solely on outright lap times and instead aim for a steady, fast pace throughout your stints. We hope these suggestions help you to maximise your test session. JB Data Engineering has extensive experience working with engineers and drivers to create effective test plans. If you’d like to benefit from our guidance to get the best from your day - whether as a team or a driver - please contact us on 00 (44) 7717 562169 to explore how we can help.
