24 Hours of Le Mans: The Data-Driven Approach
Le Mans delivered another exciting race this year, presenting many challenges for all teams. At MOVEdot, we are all about data-driven development, efficiency, and advanced data analysis, making endurance racing the ideal platform to demonstrate our expertise.
Endurance races like Le Mans require processing huge amounts of data and making quick, informed decisions. Our engineers, with collective experience in six 24-hour races, leverage data to optimize car performance and strategy using:
Data-Driven Decisions Through Advanced Techniques
• In a 24-hour race event, different conditions will be faced by the team: sunshine, cold temperatures, rain (and sometimes even snow!). We develop advanced data analysis techniques to understand—and predict—how different conditions will influence car behavior.
• Not only that, but our setup development is 100% backed by the data. We quantify the changes made and how much they influence the vehicle. We are not guided only by intuition—we prove if our call was in the right direction by addressing the root cause of the performance limiting factor.
Car Health and System Performance
• Car health is critical in endurance racing. Continuous stress on the vehicle can lead to reliability issues. We develop robust (and real-time when telemetry is available) tools to keep a close watch on the car's condition, allowing us to anticipate and address potential problems before they escalate.
• Besides looking at the vitals, we also track systems performance: tires, aerodynamics, brakes, and powertrain. If issues are identified, we assess if any improvements can be made—even during the race.
Pre-Event Preparation
• Preparation is key to success in endurance racing. Our team performs pre-event analysis, using simulation, historical data, and predictive models to develop robust strategies for how to conduct the race week, answering questions such as:
• “What is the ideal setup for this track?”
• “If we encounter this balance issue, what would be the most efficient ways to overcome it?”
• “How much should we focus on setup development vs driver practice?” And, as always, all backed by the data!
At MOVEdot, we are committed to pushing the boundaries of vehicle performance using innovative and data-driven solutions.
