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.

- 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.

- JB Data Engineering - January 2025
Welcome to the January 2025 JB Data Engineering Newsletter. Welcome to the JB Data Engineering January 2025 newsletter! We hope you all enjoyed a peaceful and relaxing Christmas break and we wish you a healthy and prosperous 2025 (and, of course, great success on-track!) At JB Data Engineering HQ, we’ve been hard at work preparing for the forthcoming season and the team can’t wait to be back at a circuit in preparation for what promises to be a fantastic year of motorsport. The traditional start to the year for JBDE is our annual visit to the Birmingham NEC for Autosport International (ASI) 2025. For our international subscribers, ASI is a four-day motorsport event held at one of the largest exhibition spaces in the UK and includes a two-day trade show for industry professionals and a two-day public show. ASI is a magnet for thousands of fans, automotive enthusiasts and fellow professionals in the industry and offers businesses like ours the perfect opportunity to network and present our services. We will be at the show on Thursday and Friday (January the 9th and 10th) and would love to meet with you to discuss how we can support your racing ambitions in 2025. Please call us on (44) 7717 562169 or email jordan@jbdataengineering.co.uk to arrange a time when we can get together. We very much look forward to meeting old friends and new at the Birmingham NEC next week to launch the new motorsport season in style! Preparing for the New Season Are you planning your car preparations for the new season? Do you have your first test sessions planned and in the diary? With video and data playing an increasingly important role, even in club motorsport, making sure you have the correct tools to go racing is essential to on-track success. Here are five tips from JB Data Engineering to ensure your data and video equipment is ready for 2025. 1) Review any issues and niggles from last season and resolve them Was a sensor playing up? Were there any problems with data acquisition that caused problems in 2024? Is everything working as it should? If not, get those niggles and problems resolved before you head out to a track for testing. JB Data Engineering can assist with advice, repairs, recalibration and re-sets across a wide range of equipment and manufacturers. 2) Get your data and video equipment serviced where possible Accidents may have dislodged components and internal wiring while oil, water and dirt inside the unit can all cause loose connections and problems. Just as you would service your road car annually, the same logic applies to your on-board data and video equipment. Contact JB Data Engineering to discuss how we can help or contact the manufacturer who will be able to arrange a service. 3) Update your firmware Manufacturers regularly publish firmware updates and during a busy season, it’s easy to miss them. We can guide you if you need assistance or a visit to the manufacturer’s website should give you the information you need. 4) Thinking of investing in a video and data acquisition system for the first time? Before you click on the ‘Buy Now’ button and potentially make an expensive mistake, contact JB Data Engineering. We have ten years experience in advising clients on systems and set-up and we can help you make sure that what you’re buying is going to deliver what you need. If it doesn’t, we can provide alternative solutions. 5) Were there any areas in your driving last season that you’d like to improve on? A call to JB Data Engineering could assist in deciding what data you need to be reviewing to make you quicker. Trouble getting the brakes up to temperature? How about fitting a brake sensor to review how you’re braking. If you’re not sure when to get on the throttle, a throttle position sensor overlaying data on a video could be the answer. JB Data Engineering can supply and install equipment from the world’s leading motorsport data acquisition suppliers as well as train you to get the best out of your investment. If you’re attending Autosport International this weekend, we look forward to seeing you there. If you’re making plans for your first test session of 2025, we hope our paths cross in the paddock soon. Our diary is filling up fast for 2025 so please call us on (44) 7717 562169 or email jordan@jbdataengineering.co.uk so that we can discuss how we can support you to achieve your racing goals this year. Best Wishes, Jordan Have a great January! The JB Data Engineering Team.
