Welcome to the November 2023 JB Data Engineering Newsletter. Welcome to the JB Data Engineering November newsletter. Can you believe that the UK racing season has almost finished? The last few weeks have flown by with October being a particularly busy month. JB Data Engineering supported teams in the TCR UK Touring Car Championship, the GT Cup Championship and the Fun Cup Endurance Championship as well as supporting the British Endurance Championship in our role as Data Scrutineer. Along with supporting our regular clients and supplying our extensive range of data and video analysis equipment, it made for a frantic few weeks! As always at this time of year, our focus turns eastwards towards the Asian Le Mans Series, the Gulf 12 Hours and Hankook 24H Dubai. If you need support in Asia over the winter, please do call us to check our availability. With many UK and european teams travelling out to Asia and the Middle East, there will be increased demand for data analysis and we would hate you to miss out for the sake of a phone call early this month. If we can help you in anyway, please contact us on +44 7717 562169 or by email. GT Cup Championship JB Data Engineering joined Morpheus Racing for the final weekend of the 2023 GT Cup Championship season at Snetterton and we were delighted to see the team finish first and second in the GTH (GT4) standings. With a typical GT Cup race weekend consisting of practice, qualifying and four races, every team member is under pressure across the two days and Snetterton was no exception. The #69 Mercedes AMG GG4 piloted by Stephen Walton and Chris Hart took two second-place finishes in class and a fifth to take the GTH title with a margin of 39 points over the sister #96 entry driven by Jon Currie and Phil Keen. Morpheus Racing’s success shows how effective a testing programme outside of the race weekend Friday sessions can be. All the Am drivers made great progress during the season, largely due to seat-time away from the pressure of preparing to race. JB Data Engineering Managing Director Jordan Bird was delighted to have been part of Morpheus Racing in 2023. “We would very much like thank Ben, Chris and Steve for the opportunity to work with the team this season,” said Jordan Bird. “It has been an absolute pleasure to work with each and every one of the team! To finish first and second in the GTH class goes to show the hard work that we all put in. I hope that JB Data Engineering can be part of the team that defends that title in 2024!” TCR UK Touring Car Championship JB Data Engineering was delighted to be present at Brands Hatch for the final weekend of the 2023 TCR UK Touring Car Championship, providing data analysis support for Carl Boardley, Jenson Brickley and Matt Wilson as well supporting teams throughout the paddock on what was a thrilling finale to a fantastic season. TCR UK shared the weekend with the BRSCC Formula Ford Festival, a championship in which many professional race car drivers first cut their teeth. Scheduled in late October, the weather can often be unpredictable and so it was with torrential rain on the Saturday. Sunday, however, was fine and dry and with five drivers in contention for the title led by Carl Boardley in the #41 CBM with Hart GT Cupra, track action was always going to be highly competitive. Jenson Brickley, at the wheel of #246 Cupra, took pole for the first of Sunday’s two contests, lapping the 1.9 kms of the Indy circuit in 48.283 seconds, just over a quarter of a second ahead of Callum Newsham. Alex Ley, sixth in the championship standings going into the final weekend, completed the top three. Brickley was unable to take his position at the front of the grid due to a mechanical problem so Callum Newsham led the field away with Carl Boardley in fourth. Boardley was passed but only needed to finish in the top six to take the title so drove a considered race as Chris Smiley and Alex Ley battled it out at the front. Smiley retired with a power steering issue and, as the chequered flag came out for Alex Ley, Boardley was in fourth and took sufficient points to ensure that the Ipswich-based businessman was crowned the TCR UK Touring Car Champion for 2023 Race Two saw some very unfortunate contact on the run down to Graham Bill Bend on the opening lap, resulting in a lengthy red flag period as cars were recovered. Thankfully nobody was injured but two slow formation laps before the restart meant that cold tyres caused more off-track moments and retirements. Jac Constable brought the #11 Rob Bostin Racing Gen II Audi RS3 home for the win, followed by Jenson Brickley in the #246 Cupra. Alex Ley completed the podium finishers. 2023 has seen the bar raised in TCR UK competition and the racing has been extraordinary. JB Data Engineering has been proud to have been involved in the championship and supporting this season’s champion Carl Boardley. We very much hope to return to the paddock next season. Fun Cup Endurance Championship The Fun Cup Endurance Championship reached its season finale at Oulton Park for the final weekend of October. JB Data Engineering was back supporting EDF Motorsports with its three-car entry. Simon Coles and Robert Croydon piloted the #212 car while Vlad Vassiliev and Matt Dorkings shared the driving duties in the #246 entry. Victor Kara and Gary Summers completed the trio of entries in the #104 car. Although always busy, the grid was enhanced with the addition of two guest entries in the form of the #97 GT Radial entry which was crewed by four volunteer motorsport marshals. Two 19th-place finishes was a creditable result for a driver line-up who had only recently passed their ARDS tests. The second guest entry was the #99 JPR Young Guns driven by Luke Hilton, Gracie Mitchell and Jack Noller. Hilton has just completed a successful season in Fiesta Juniors this season, Noller has been competing in the MX5 Championship and Gracie Mitchell is proving a very competitive karter. EDF Motorsports had mixed fortunes over the two races. In Race One, Vlad Vassiliev and Matt Dorkings brought the #246 car home in 12th place overall and 6th in the Masters category, the #104 and #212 cars finishing 10th and 11th in class. In Race Two, Simon and Robert finished 6th in class, one place ahead of Vlad and Matt in the #246 entry. Despite the championship’s title, Fun Cup cars are not necessarily easy to drive so the results we came away from Oulton with were very creditable. Thank you to EDF Motorsports for inviting JB Data Engineering to be part of the team in 2023 and we very much hope to return in 2024. The marque has its own championship, the Ligier European Series, where JS2 Rs compete alongside Ligier JS P4s, the company’s easy-to-drive and accessible sports-prototype car. The Snetterton test was an excellent opportunity to work with Derek Holden’s team and get to grips with their Ligier JS2 R and we look forward to building on that relationship in the months ahead. British Endurance Championship JB Data Engineering was back in the British Endurance Championship and ROWE Britcar Trophy Championship paddock over the weekend of the 14th and 15th of October at Donington for the season finales of these two hugely popular GT championships. We were providing data scrutineering services with the early autumn weather presenting the predicted challenges of showers and bright, sunny conditions for the two grids, both of which were bolstered by a number of invitational entries. The #67 Team BRIT McLaren 570S driven by Paul Fullick and James Whitley took pole position for the British Endurance Championship two-hour contest but it was the #9 PB Racing Audi GT3 of Peter Erceg and Marcus Clutton who took the race victory, followed by Ameeth Naran and Sam Cooper in the i#108 Breakell Racing McLaren. Mike McCollum and Sean Cooper in the #62 KTM GT4 completed the overall podium positions. Brad Thurston and Daryl Deleon’s 10th place finish in the ##28 Team HARD Porsche 991 Cup entry was sufficient to give them the overall championship, just four points clear of Neville Jones, Chris Jones and Matt George in the #21 Venture Innovations GT4. The two ROWE Britcar Trophy Champion ship races saw victories go to Marco Anastaasi in the #4 Datum Motorsport Ginetta in race one and the invitational #40 Intersport BMW M3 E46 driven by Bryan Bramson and Jas Sapra in race two. Rhys Lloyd and Jack Meakin, drivers of the #66 Dragon Sport Renault Clio Cup car secured the title by a margin of 16 points ahead of William Puttergill’s CH Racing Honda Civic Type R. JB Data Engineering was honoured to supply data scrutineering services to Claire Headley’s Britcar team, ensuring that competitors could compete confident that the technical regulations were being applied fairly and consistently across the large grids. We very much hope we can join the Championship again in 2024.

TCR UK Touring Car Championship JB Data Engineering enjoyed an exciting weekend at Donington on September the 9th and 10th, supporting clients throughout the TCR UK Touring Car Championship grid. Jenson Brickley in the #246 Cupra Leon Competicion TCR took pole position in Saturday’s 30-minute qualifying session with Adam Shepherd joining Brickley on the front row of the1-car grid. Shepherd took victory in race one after Brickley was ordered to swap positions with the #117 driver after confusion when the safety car boards were shown early in the race. Completing the podium positions was Jac Constable in the #11 Rob Boston Racing Audi RS3 Gen II. Heavy rain marred the afternoon’s racing but was starting to ease by the time the TCR UK pack went to the grid for their second race of the weekend. Tyre choices were crucial on a track that was expected to dry quickly in the warm temperatures. Brad Hutchison, starting from the second row, appeared to have the better traction over the opening laps and passed pole-sitter Sumpton. The #17 Cupra Leon driver never looked troubled and even as conditions improved in the second half of the race, Hutchison never looked at risk of missing out on his maiden victory. Post-race checks, however, revealed a ride-height discrepancy and both Hutchison and Restart Racing’s Smiley were excluded from the result, promoting Alistair Camp to the top step of the podium. The TCR UK Touring Car Championship now moves to its season finale at Brands Hatch on October the 21st and 22nd and JB Data Engineering is looking forward to being back in the paddock, supporting race teams to be at their most competitive at the iconic Indy circuit. Ligier JS2 R Testing with Reflex Racing JB Data Engineering opened the month with a test at Snetterton with Reflex Racing and their Ligier JS2 R. Reflex Racing was the first team to bring the Ligier JS2 R into the UK after it was launched at the Paris Motor Show in 2018. The JS2 R is inspired by the 1972 Ligier JS2, a car which was described at the time as having superior driving dynamics and the best power-to-weight ratio of GT cars of that period. The current Ligier JS2 R is powered by a 3.7 L Ford Duratec V6 engine, coupled to a 6-speed sequential manual transmission with pneumatic shift mechanism and paddle shifters. The JS2 R provided the basis for a hydrogen powered car which was unveiled at Le Mans this year. The marque has its own championship, the Ligier European Series, where JS2 Rs compete alongside Ligier JS P4s, the company’s easy-to-drive and accessible sports-prototype car. The Snetterton test was an excellent opportunity to work with Derek Holden’s team and get to grips with their Ligier JS2 R and we look forward to building on that relationship in the months ahead. British Endurance Championship JB Data Engineering returned to its data scrutineering role when the British Endurance Championship and the ROWE Britcar Trophy Championship visited Snetterton on September the 16th and 17th. We really enjoy these weekends as the racing is always ultra-competitive, given the British Endurance Championship’s innovative approach to Balance of Performance. Peter Erceg and Marcus Clutton, drivers of the #9 PB Racing Audi R8 GT3, took victory in the two-hour British Endurance Championship contest, the #9 car finishing a lap ahead of the #62 Track Focused KTM GT4 of Mike McCollum and Sean Cooper. Completing the podium finishers was the #21 Venture Innovations Mercedes GT4 of Chris Jones and Matt George. Simon Clark in the #23 Form Evo Clark Racing Porsche 997 Carrera S and Len Goldsmith in the #10 Geoff Steel Racing BMW M3 E90 took home the winners trophies in the ROWE Britcar Trophy Championship in what was another excellent weekend of racing in Norfolk. We look forward to rejoining the Championship when it visits Donington Park for its season finale in mid-October. VBOX Video HD2-HDMI After challenges with component obsolescence and supply chain delays, VBOX has announced that their market-leading VBOX Video HD2 system will be available for sale from Monday the 2nd of October. As a result, JB Data Engineering is pleased, once again, to be able to offer this popular system, available for immediate delivery.

Click here to see the packages on offer and place your order. Planning for 2024 Many national and European series are now fast approaching their final rounds. The JB Data Engineering team is now firmly focused on post-season work and preparing for what promises to be an incredible year for prototype and GT racing around the world in 2024. The Asian Le Mans Series gets underway at Sepang International Circuit on the 2nd of December and JB Data Engineering is planning to be there.

- NEWSLETTER - Key Tools: RaceSense Digital Tyre Pressure Gauges
Welcome to the SEPTEMBER 2023 JB Data Engineering newsletter. Welcome to the September 2023 edition of the JB Data Engineering newsletter. Sadly, the summer is drawing to a close, the Goodwood Revival is just days away and many national championships are getting close to that critical season finale. We had a busy month in August but are now firmly in planning mode for the winter, supporting customers competing in the Asian Le Mans Series and, of course, looking ahead to 2024! Not all our support work is carried out track-side, however, and you can read about our remote services below. Please be aware that we have very few dates available now for 2023 so if we can help you in anyway, please contact us on +44 7717 562169 or by email. TCR UK Touring Car Championship JB Data Engineering was at Silverstone for rounds 10 and 11 of the TCR UK Touring Car Championship, supporting customers across the grid in one of the most competitive and popular UK race series. 21 cars were on the grid at the Silverstone National circuit with Adam Shepherd putting the #117 Area Motorsport Hyundai i30 N TCR on pole for the first of two 25-minute contests. Given that Shepherd was carrying 30kg of compensation weight and had barely had any time on-track during the practice session, it was an achievement to lap .022s quicker than his teammate Bruce Winfield in the #37 Hyundai. The pole-sitter did not have the best of luck in the first race of the weekend as an alternator bearing failure forced the #117 driver into retirement, followed by Bruce Winfield with an upright failure. Carl Boardley in the #41 CBM with Hart GT Cupra took the win in Round 10, followed by Jenson Brickley in the #246 Cupra. Joe Marshall completed the podium positions. Round 11 saw the red flag brought out after a first lap accident which resulted in Chris Smiley making contact with the barrier. Two laps behind the safety car was followed by a stoppage to allow for safe repair of the track-side damage. The race was shortened to 15 minutes at the re-start with a shuffled grid and it was Alex Ley in the #76 Hyundai who went on to take his second consecutive reverse-grid win, followed by Matthew Wilson in #31 JWB Motorsport Cupra, Bruce Winfield rounding out the podium positions. It was another fantastic weekend’s racing with the TCR UK Touring Car Championship with Carl Boardley now holding a commanding 45-point championship lead over Bruce Winfield. JB Data Engineering looks forward to meeting up again with the TCR UK paddock at Donington Park this coming weekend. Revolution Race Cars Early in August, JB Data Engineering was delighted to be asked to provide customer support for Revolution Race Cars at Zolder and Spa-Francorchamps. The company, founded by Phil Abbott, had invited potential customers for their lightweight 820kg sportscar to experience the vehicle at two of the most iconic circuits in Europe and drivers from across the globe enjoyed getting up to speed in one of the world’s most exciting new sports prototypes. The Revolution is designed to provide a fun, exciting and competitive on-track experience, whether the driver is looking for track day excitement or beginning their journey towards competing at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. The car is easy to maintain, cost-effective in use and has accessible handling and performance. The Revolution is eligible for many prototype race series and Revolutions are currently competing in the Formula Prototype Challenge Canada and the Sports Prototype Cup North America. Both events were a great success and JB Data Engineering was proud to have played a part in helping more new drivers enjoy the Revolution Race Car experience. RaceSense Digital Tyre Pressure Gauges We are pleased to be distributors for the complete range of RaceSense tyre pressure gauges. Built with the demands of motorsports in mind, the RaceSense Digital Tyre Pressure Gauge with Pyrometer is designed to save time in the pits and on the track. It has an automatic mode that will record initial pressures and also the adjusted pressures and is designed for maximum precision. After tyre pressures have been measured, the data is saved automatically, ready for export if required. The RaceSense Digital Tyre Pressure Gauge with Pyrometer uses NFC (Near Field Communication) technology that allows you to transfer all your captured data to your phone in less than a second (NFC-enabled phone required) and allows you to keep your tyre pressures a secret from competitors. You just input your desired pressures beforehand and the gauge will show an offset from these values instead of the actual pressures on the screen. Simply adjust your tyre pressures until you reach zero and no one will ever know what pressures you are running. Call JB Data Engineering now to hear about the complete range of RaceSense Digital Tyre Pressure Gauges or click here to order. Contact us on 07717 562169 to discuss how we can support your racing goals. There’s more to JB Data Engineering than track-side support… You may think that much of our work is at the circuit, working with teams and drivers to capture and understand video and data and it is true that we do spend a lot of time in paddocks and garages doing just that. But there is a lot more to JB Data Engineering that you may not be aware of. Working remotely and supporting drivers across the UK and internationally is now an important part of the range of services we provide. What many competitors don’t realise is that the latest in video or data acquisition tech isn’t always necessary in order to benefit from our services. It can be as simple as sending us your video and some basic data and we can review it with you, suggesting some easy gains and providing a feedback sheet. You can talk us through the areas that you are struggling with and we can make provide guidance that may lead to some quick wins. If you’re struggling at a circuit with a data issue, call JB Data Engineering. We may not be physically present but we can talk you through various solutions and help you out of that tight spot when manufacturer support may not be available. There are many ways that JB Data Engineering can help you to be more competitive and it doesn’t necessarily mean we have to be in the garage with you. If you have a problem with data analysis or video acquisition, call us on +44 7717 562169, wherever you are and at whatever time. We’re just a phone call away and we’re here to help! Wherever you’re racing in September, we wish you the best of luck and let’s hope we can benefit from some late summer sun for these final weeks of the domestic season. We look forward to meeting you in a paddock somewhere over the next few weeks. Have a great 2023! The JB Data Engineering Team.
