Does Your Race Weekend Spares Package Include Data and Video?- August 2025 Newsletter

Welcome to our August newsletter and we hope you’re looking forward to some rest and relaxation after a busy first half of the season. As ever, we’ve been travelling the length and breadth of the country supporting clients across race weekends, test sessions and equipment installs. A few days off will be very welcome!

At JB Data Engineering, we‘re already looking ahead to the end of domestic competition and the promise of a packed programme of racing in Asia, commencing with the Macau GP in November. If you’re planning to compete at Macau or in the Gulf 12 Hour, the 24H Dubai or the Asian Le Mans Series, we’d love to discuss how we can support you across our full range of services.

We’re planning to be in the region for much of the European winter so please call us on (44) 7717 562169 to see how we can help.  

One area that often frustrates us is how few spares teams and drivers carry for their data logging and video systems. A simple cable breakage, for example, can make accurate data logging impossible and, for just a small outlay on a few spares, serious problems can be averted. We’ve made some suggestions below about some items worth keeping in your van or truck but please call us to discuss your particular equipment requirements and we can make specific suggestions tailored to your set up.

For expert data, engineering or video support, whether it’s for equipment supply, installation, training or track-side services, please email us at www.jbdataengineering.co.uk or call (44) 7717 562169 . We’d love to hear from you!

Must-Have Spare Parts for Race Day Success!

A damaged cable, a faulty sensor or even something as simple as a sticker falling off can derail your race weekend. At JB Data Engineering, we often find ourselves chasing spares for a team or driver when a small amount of planning and investment could have saved a lot of time and stress.

Carrying spares for VBOX, CARTEK, Ecumaster, AiM and RaceSense products ensures pinpoint accuracy for your data and tyre temperature readings. We can supply everything you to need to ensure your data acquisition is trouble-free and, to help, we’ve listed below some popular items that are always useful to carry as part of your spares inventory.

GPS for AiM GPS09 Module (SmartyCam 2.2): A snapped or damaged GPS module can halt your SmartyCam 2.2’s data transfer, killing post-race analysis. Carrying a spare ensures uninterrupted data downloads for your AiM GPS09, ensuring your data is timely and accurate.

CARTEK Sticker Sheet for Wireless Control System: Worn or missing stickers on your CARTEK Wireless Control System confuses pit crews. This inexpensive sticker sheet restores clear labelling for efficient operation. Order from JB Data Engineering for pro-level presentation.

CARTEK Toggle Switch for Rain Light: A faulty toggle switch can dim your rain light, risking penalties or even disqualification. This CARTEK spare keeps your visibility in the rain compliant and clear for safety. JB Data Engineering has you covered for quick trackside fixes.

CARTEK Battery Isolator GT/XR Internal Button: A jammed internal isolator button on your CARTEK GT/XR isolator can lock out power. Carrying a spare ensures a rapid reset, keeping your car’s electronics alive. Order from JB Data Engineering for pro-level preparation.

Ecumaster Data Logger-1 (EDL-1) Connection Cable: A frayed EDL-1 connection cable can cut your Ecumaster’s data downloads. With a connection cable in your spares package, you can restore quick PC connectivity for race analysis. Order now and be prepared for the remainder of the season.

Ecumaster Lambda to CAN Controller: A failed Lambda sensor to CAN controller skews air/fuel ratios, hurting engine performance. A spare Ecumaster controller ensures precise Lambda data for your racecar’s performance. JB Data Engineering can quickly supply a new module for race-ready reliability.

RaceSense Replacement Hoses (Swivel at Both Ends): Worn RaceSense hoses leak pressure, throwing off tyre readings. These swivel-end spares ensure accurate tyre data for achieving optimal grip. JB Data Engineering keeps your RaceSense Digital Tyre Gauges dialled in!

RaceSense Protective Case for Digital Tyre Pressure Gauge: A cracked case exposes your RaceSense Digital Tyre Pressure Gauge to dust, water and oil. This inexpensive case keeps your investment safe, ensuring reliable tyre pressure data. We’ve got your back for durability and protection!

VBOX Roll Cage Camera Clamp for VBOX HD2 (RLACS269): A loose or broken camera clamp can ruin your VBOX HD2’s footage, costing you critical driver analysis information. This VBOX camera clamp secures your HD2 camera for crystal-clear 1080p video, perfect for sponsor-ready clips. We can supply spares to keep your race videos sharp.

VBOX Camera Ring Clamp for Video VBOX (RLACS116): Vibration or crashes can dislodge your VBOX video camera, killing track footage. The camera clamp ring connects to the Video VBOX suction or roll cage mount and allows for greater articulation of the cameras. Order your spare from JB Data Engineering and avoid being caught out by a loose camera.

Looking To Asia for Winter of 2025-26

Motorsport in Asia, particularly sportscar racing like the Asian Le Mans Series and 24H Dubai, is exploding in popularity. The ALMS, with its six-race season, draws massive grids, partly fueled by the opportunity to earn an invitation to the 24 Hours of Le Mans and also by the opportunity for teams and drivers to sharpen their skills ahead of the ELMS and WEC seasons. Asia’s growing wealth and car culture, especially in Malaysia and the UAE, pack grandstands.

This is why JB Data Engineering is focusing its marketing efforts and outreach into the Asian market with a view to supplying our services to teams and drivers throughout the region from October through to mid-February.

If you’re looking to compete in the Macau GP, Gulf 12 Hours, 24H Dubai or the Asian Le Mans Series, we’d love to talk to you to discuss what we do and how we can help you achieve your racing goals in Asia this winter.

JB Data Engineering has successfully provided services to teams across many UK domestic championships as well as the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship, the FIA World Endurance Championship and the European Le Mans Series.

Please contact us now on 00(44) 7717 562169 to explore how we can work together in Asia in 2025/26.

Wherever you may be competing over the next few weeks, we hope you have a safe and successful outing and we look forward to our paths crossing in a paddock very soon.

As always, although the diary is very full, we’d love to help you if we can. Please call us or use our contact details below to see if JB Data Engineering can support your racing ambitions in 2025.
