JB Data Engineering | Motorsports Data Logging & Analysis

DATA ENGINEERING

JB Data Engineering provides data-acquisition and analysis, including video analysis, for race teams and individual racing drivers.

We are proficient in the use and application of PI Toolbox, PI Toolset, Aim Race Studio, Racelogic, Race Technology, Motec, Magnetti Marelli, Life Racing and Bosch (WinDarab).

Our track-side data and video support includes driver analysis and development, vehicle systems, chassis and tyre analysis, fuel strategy and video analysis.

VIDEO ANALYSIS

Video analysis has become an extremely popular service. Drivers at all levels find this tool helpful in understanding visually where they could improve their lap-times.

Video analysis is particularly useful where an amateur driver is working with a driver-coach, who is then able to identify where improvements in times can be made.

Racelogic’s Circuit Tools data analysis software and Aim’s Smartycam video software provides the capability to run multiple laps side-by-side. This facility allows the driver to see vehicle data alongside video of the lap. Using GPS to plot the driver’s lines, a coach can quickly understand and explain where the lap-time can be improved.

HUMAN PERFORMANCE ENGINEERING

To achieve top performance in our sport we need more than an understanding of the vehicle dynamics, mechanicals and tyres.

Crucial to the success is an understanding of the driver, their biorhythms and fitness, together with robust strategies to combat fatigue and stress from both internal and external sources.

JB Data Engineering works with Human Performance Visonaries and industry specialists to deliver solid improvements in areas such as Fitness and Stamina, Diet and Sleep, Media and Mental Approach. These techniques are dovetailed to work in conjunction with the driver track strategies thereby delivering a holistic approach.

RACE & FUEL STRATEGY

JB Data Engineering can provide race and fuel strategies to teams and individual drivers, a crucial planning tool particularly when competing in endurance events. Thanks to JB Data Engineering’s experience in race strategies, planning time is reduced.

Our race/fuel strategies include run-plans for each session with fuel usage per lap and per session and can record sector-times, lap-times, driver stint-times, session duration and session-elapsed time. Our strategies have been used in the 24H Series, the British GT Championship and the VW Fun Cup 25 Hour Race at Spa-Francorchamps.

How does motorsport data logging improve race performance?

Accurate data logging helps identify braking points, throttle application, steering input and overall consistency. Reviewing these traces provides clear areas for improvement and supports better setup decisions between sessions.

How can I use data analysis and telemetry to achieve the perfect lap?

Data analysis shows changes from corner to corner. Paired with video, it becomes easier to recognise where time is being gained or lost. Working through the data step by step allows you to build cleaner, faster and more repeatable laps.

Where can I find race car and kart data acquisition systems in the UK?

We supply a range of AiM, VBOX and ECUMaster products. We help drivers and teams choose the right data logger, dash or telemetry setup, and make sure each system delivers clean, reliable information on track, giving you the data you need to improve technique, consistency and overall performance.

What else can I add to my setup to help improve performance on track?

Alongside full data analysis, simple tools like lap timers, dash displays and tyre pressure gauges can help you pick up pace and consistency on track. A good lap timer makes it easier to understand improvements, while accurate tyre pressures give better grip and confidence straight away.
