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.

Welcome to the August edition of the JB Data Engineering newsletter. We enjoyed another busy month in July across the UK where the weather displayed a marked turn from the blisteringly hot days in late June and earlier in the month. Torrential rain and challenging racing conditions became the norm, offering a total contrast to the heatwave we were experiencing in the UK just 12 months ago! You can read how the rain affected events, particularly the GT Cup Championship at Silverstone, later in the newsletter. Please be aware that we have very few dates available now for 2023 (we’ve listed available dates below) so if we can help you in any way, please contact us on +44 7717 562169 or by email. GT Cup Championship JB Data Engineering supported teams in the GT Cup Championship over two weekends in July. Both events were affected by the changeable weather conditions but the quality of racing in what has become one of the leading GT championships in the UK remained high. For the first weekend of July, we were at Oulton Park for the one-day MSVR Supercar Pageant which saw the GT Cup Championship on the same bill as the Focus Cup, the Boxster Cup and the Porsche 911 Challenge. 14 cars contested the two GT Cup races. Race One was red-flagged after two laps following an accident with the overall win going to the #32 Cook Racing Audi R8 GT3 EVO 2 driven by Sacha Kakad and Hugo Cook, followed by the #67 Orange Racing powered by JMH McLaren720S GT3 of Simon Orange and Tom Roche. Race Two was also shortened to 30 minutes with Simon Orange in the #67 McLaren taking the lead at the end of the opening lap. The #67 car stayed at the front of the field and Orange’s teammate Tom Roche brought the McLaren home for the duo’s third victory of the season. The final weekend in July saw the championship return to Silverstone for its traditional four-race format. 22 cars were entered for the event with a weather forecast that was predicting mixed conditions across the two days. Saturday’s two races saw the fourth overall win of the season for Simon Orange and Tom Roche in the pit-stop race while the #32 Cook Racing Audi won the sprint race ahead of the #76 McLaren. It was Sunday’s conditions, however, that really tested both drivers and engineers with the pit-stop race starting behind the safety car for three laps before Andrey Borodin led the field away on the Greystone McLaren. However it was the #32 Audi in the hands of Hugo Cook that took the second win of the weekend for the Cook Racing squad with Tom Roche coming home in second, at the wheel of the #67 McLaren. Sunday’s conditions were some of the worst that JB Data Engineering has ever encountered in over seven years of providing data analysis and support. We look forward to returning to the championship in September when the GT Cup grid meets for its penultimate race weekend of the 2023 season at Donington Park. TCR UK Touring Car Championship JB Data Engineering travelled to Scotland to provide data and video analysis services to teams competing in the TCR UK Touring Car Championship when the series visited Knockhill on the 22nd and 23rd of July. Carl Boardley dominated the weekend at the wheel of the CBM with Hart GT Cupra Leon Competition TCR, with the Suffolk-based driver qualifying the #41 car on pole for Race One and going on to take two out of three race wins. Qualifying saw every driver have at least one lap-time deleted for exceeding track limits as but it was Boardley who put in a 51.457 around the 1.27 miles of the undulating Knockhill circuit to head the qualifying timing screens by just .109s ahead of Jac Constable in the #11 Cupra. Boardley went on to convert that pole position into a victory in Race One but was served a penalty for a track limits infringement in Race Two and went on to finish fourth. The #41 driver returned to the top step of the podium for the final race. Carl Boardley now leads the TCR UK Touring Car Championship by 25 points ahead of Bruce Winfield and, with less than half the season remaining, looks a strong contender for the 2023 title. We had a great time in the TCR UK paddock at Knockhill and look forward to meeting up again with our clients at Silverstone on the 19th of August. Fun Cup Endurance Championship We were delighted to be back working with EDF Motorsports for Round Five of the Fun Cup Endurance Championship when the series visited Oulton Park in the middle of July. EDF Motorsports had three cars on the grid for the four-hour enduro with Simon Coles and Rob Croydon qualifying their #212 car best of the trio. Coles and Croydon started 10th on the overall grid and fifth in the Masters category with Vlad Vassiliev and Matt Dorkings starting from 14th overall in the #246 car. Gary Summers and David Farrow, son of team owner Eddie Farrow started the #104 car 16th on the 21-car grid. All three cars made it to the chequered flag with the #212 car the best of the EDF entries, Coles and Croydon coming home fifth overall and second in the Masters category. Fun Cup racing, as the name implies, is a great series to be involved in with the regulations designed to ensure cost effective, close, exciting and, above all, fun racing. JB Data Engineering is proud to be along-standing partner of EDF Motorsports and we look forward to returning to the Fun Cup at Silverstone later in August. Dates Available With the summer passing quickly, we now have a very few dates available for the remainder of the UK season to support teams and drivers trackside before attention switches to Asia and the start of the Asian Le Mans Series.

Welcome to the July 2023 JB Data Engineering newsletter. We’ve experienced some staggeringly hot days at the circuits over the past few weeks but sadly it doesn’t look like we’ll be replicating last year’s July temperatures over the next few days. It does make for some interesting choices on tyres, though! June was a very busy month for us as we combined data scrutineering duties with support for teams and drivers across the UK in various championships. If you have any testing planned over the next few weeks and believe you could benefit from the support of JB Data Engineering, please contact us on +44 7717 562169 or by email. We can travel anywhere nationally or internationally so, with just a few spots available until mid-September, please let us know how we can help. GT Cup at Snetterton JB Data Engineering enjoyed another fantastic weekend at a sweltering Snetterton when Makehappen Racing returned to Norfolk with its two GTH-class Mercedes AMG GT4s for the third round of the 2023 GT Cup Championship. Stephen Walton and Chris Hart piloted the #96 entry while the sister car saw Jon Currie partnered with Phil Keen for four contests on the 3-mile Snetterton 300 circuit. Leeds-based Makehappen Racing dominated the GTH (GT4) class and the two cars took seven out of the eight possible class podium finishes between them. Chris Hart and Stephen Walton, Executive Chairman and Operations Director respectively at ultrafast broadband connectivity company Makehappen, took the class win in Race One while teammates Jon Currie and Phil Keen stood on the top step of the GTH podium in races three and four. From our perspective, the highlight of the weekend was seeing the progress of Jon Currie as a driver. Being awarded Driver of the Day on the Sunday was a fitting reward for all the hard work that Jon has put in to become a class-winner. JB Data Engineering is looking forward to rejoining Makehappen Racing for two further GT Cup rounds in July when the series visits Oulton Park and Silverstone. TCR UK Touring Car Championship JB Data Engineering was working with a number of teams when the 2023 TCR UK Touring Car Championship visited Oulton Park on the weekend of June 10th and 11th. TCR UK is fast becoming one of the UK’s most popular race series and it was great to see Bruce Winfield take his second victory of the season in the #37 Area Motorsport Hyundai in Round 5. There was a close battle for second place with Jac Constable passing Alex Ley in the closing seconds of the 16-lap contest. Carl Boardley, at the wheel of the #41 CBM with Hart GT Cupra Leon, converted pole position on the reversed grid into the race lead and, ultimately, the win in round six. Boardley, who switched to TCR UK in 2023 after five years competing in the BTCC, was also awarded the Goodyear Diamond Award for drivers over 40 for both of his races. JB Data Engineering is proud to continue its association with the TCR UK Touring Car Championship and looks forward to continuing to provide data analysis services to teams up and down the TCR UK paddock as the 2023 season progresses. Ginetta GT Academy The third weekend of June saw JB Data Engineering back at our ‘home’ circuit of Snetterton supporting Alastair Rushforth Motorsport and Phil McGarty, driver of the team’s #81 car, in rounds 15, 16 and 17 of the Ginetta GT Academy series. This championship is designed to allow drivers at the beginning of their GT racing careers, as well as drivers with some experience, to enjoy close, competitive racing in safe, reliable race cars. Phil McGarty has been competing in Ginettas since he began racing in 2016. Phil qualified 12th overall and finished all three 20-minute contests with a 6th and two 5th-place finishes in class. Phil also put in his fastest lap in Race Three. JB Data Engineering enjoys supporting drivers competing all levels in the sport, from domestic one-make series through to international championships. In addition to our core data engineering services, we can also provide video analysis, race and fuel strategies and human performance engineering. Contact us on 07717 562169 to discuss how we can support your racing goals. British Endurance Championship JB Data Engineering resumed data scrutineering duties at Silverstone over the weekend of June 24th and 25th for Round Four of the British Endurance Championship and the Britcar Trophy. Grids were busy as usual for this popular championship and it was great to be able to assure all the teams and competitors that, through data scrutineering, technical regulations were being applied fairly and consistently. The two-hour British Endurance Championship contest was won by the #9 PB Racing Audi R8 GT3 driven by Peter Erceg and Marcus Clutton with the #63 Scott Sport Lamborghini Super Trofeo piloted by Mikkel Mac and Keith Frieser finishing in second, two laps back. The Team Hard Porsche 991 Cup car completed the podium positions, Brad Thurston and Daryl Deleon finishing nearly 24 seconds back from the #63 car. Victory in the ROWE Britcar Trophy race went to Axel Van Nederveen in his Ginetta. Data Scrutineering for the British Endurance Championship is always a pleasure and we look forward to rejoining the series when it visits Snetterton in September.

Welcome to the June 2023 JB Data Engineering newsletter. What a difference a few weeks makes! A month ago it was cold, wintry and thoroughly un-springlike. Now, the sun is shining, the season is well underway and within a few days we will be past the longest day and looking at summer holidays! We have been busy, as always, and working with both young drivers at the start of their careers and some of the most experienced GT and TCR drivers competing in the UK today. As ever, we’re always keen to work with new clients so if you require any data engineering or analysis support, please email jordan@jbdataengineering.co.uk to discuss how we can assist. TCR UK Touring Car Championship The first weekend of May was spent at a sunny Croft, enjoying the first proper warm weather we’d experienced after our cold spring, supporting the TCR UK Touring Car Championship. JB Data Engineering was present in its Data Scrutineering role as the championship made its return to the North Yorkshire circuit for the first time in four years. Rounds 3 and 4 of the TCR UK Touring Car Championship saw two 25-minute contests for the 20-car grid and, as ever, the racing was close and competitive. Carl Broadley passed pole-sitter Jac Constable for the lead at the start of Race One and took the chequered flag for the on-track victory before being penalised for a track limits violation. This gave Jac Constable his first victory of the year and the inaugural victory for the new #11 Rob Boston Racing Audi RS3LMS TCR Gen2. Jenson Brickley, driving the #246 Cupra Leon Competicion TCR, won Race Two with Adam Shepherd, at the wheel of the #117 Area Motorsport Hyundai i30 N TCR, coming home in second. Adam’s result showed the effectiveness of the BoP regulations in the TCR UK Championship and it was great to see that an older generation car could still be competitive in what is now fast becoming one of the most exciting race series in the UK. Shepherd’s result means that the four-time champion (over multiple series) moves into a qualifying position for the TCR World Ranking Final, after climbing 31 positions to 47th overall. Fantastic weather, great crowds, a packed grid and close racing meant that JB Data Engineering had a very enjoyable visit to Croft and we look forward to working with the TCR UK Touring Championship as the championship visits Oulton Park in June. Mini Challenge Trophy JB Data Engineering supported Ashley Gregory with data analysis in the Mini Challenge Trophy round at Snetterton which was racing over the weekend of May 13th and 14th, JB Data Engineering being present on the Saturday. Ashley is an exciting young racer who began her driving career at just 10 years old in Junior Ministox and graduated to the Junior Saloon Car Championship in 2019. 2023 is Ashley’s first season competing in the Mini Challenge Trophy. Ashley qualified 13th out of the 29-car grid for round four of the Mini Challenge Trophy but contact on the opening lap resulted in a DNF for the opening race on Saturday. Although we were not present for Sunday’s racing, we were delighted to see that Ashley made up 13 places on her grid position in race three to finish 13th overall and 6th in the Rookie Cup class. After Snetterton, Ashley now lies 6th in the Rookie Cup standings and, with the majority of the season ahead of her, we are looking forward to seeing some fantastic results from this young Lancashire driver who certainly has a very bright future ahead of her. Silverstone GT4 Testing Outside of race weekends, JB Data Engineering supported Nick Beaumont’s JWB Motorsport as the team tested its Porsche Cayman GT4 at Silverstone. We were working on data and system support which is always fun on a car as capable as the Cayman GT4. If you are looking for a highly experienced data engineer for your testing sessions, both in the UK and overseas, then contact JB Data Engineering at jordan@jbdataengineering.com. British Endurance Championship It was a return to GT racing for the final weekend of May as JB Data Engineering worked in its Data Scrutineering role for the British Endurance Championship and the ROWE Britcar Trophy. Oulton Park saw another fantastic weekend of racing with a 15-car grid for the British Endurance Championship and 21 cars battling it out in the ROWE Britcar Trophy Championship. We witnessed a superb mixture of machinery on-track for the BEC with the likes of Audi R8s, Mercedes GT4s, McLaren 570s GT4s and the Aston Martin Vulcan of Venture Innovations’ Glebs Stepanovs and Stephen Tomkins making for some great racing. In the ROWE Britcar Trophy Championship, the Datum Motorsport duo of Maurizio Sciglio and Marco Anastasi finished 1-2 in both 50-minute races while PB Racing’s Peter Erceg and Andrew Bentley stood on the top step of the podium in the British Endurance Championship contest. Data scrutineering assures all competitors that technical regulations are being applied fairly and evenly and this has helped make the BEC and the ROWE Britcar Trophy two of the most popular racing series in the UK today. JB Data Engineering is proud to be part of the technical team at race weekends and we look forward to continuing to support these series’ in the months ahead.

Welcome to the February 2023 JB Data Engineering newsletter. We’re planning on making this a monthly feature and providing you with an insight into how professional data engineering operates, as well as news and updates from the various championships we’ll be working in. Last year already seems a long time ago. However, if you’d like to read about how 2022 progressed for us, check out our 2022 Season Review. We had the opportunity to work with some fantastic teams in championships across the world and the highlights have been captured in our Season Review which you can read here.

However there is still time to discuss bookings – we’d love to work with you, wherever you are racing and which ever championship you are competing in. Racing Driver Video Analysis One of the key tools of the competitive racing driver is video analysis, and JB Data Engineering has been helping teams and driver with this key skill for many years. Video analysis helps drivers in understanding visually where they could improve their lap-times. It 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. JB Data Engineering recommends Racelogic’s Circuit Tools data analysis software and Aim’s Smartycam video software which provide the provide the capability to run multiple laps side-by-side. This facility allows the driver to see the 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. Contact JB Data Engineering to discuss how our video analysis tools will help your driver find those essential tenths over a race weekend. Race and Fuel Strategy Race and fuel strategies are a crucial planning particularly when competing in endurance events. JB Date Engineering can provide race and fuel strategies and, with our years of experience working with leading teams, planning time is reduced, allowing more opportunity for discussion and refinement. Our race/fuel strategies include run-plans for each session with fuel usage per lap and per session and have been used in the 24H Series, the British GT Championship and the VW Fun Cup 25 Hour Race at Spa-Francorchamps. If you’d like to discuss how we can help you with race and fuel strategies, call us on 07717 562169. SmartyCam 3 Dual – One is great. Dual is better!

Welcome to the May 2023 JB Data Engineering newsletter. The racing season is well and truly underway and JB Data Engineering has been very busy over the past four weeks, supporting teams and championships across the country. We’ve included some highlights below, but it was great to be working with the TCR UK Touring Car Championship and the British Endurance Championship and experiencing first-hand the the passion for racing and the enthusiasm across all the teams and competitors in those series. As ever, if JB Data Engineering can support your racing activities in 2023, whether through our data analysis services or the provision of the many other services we offer, please contact us on 07717 562169 or email jordan@jbdataengineering.co.uk Fun Cup Endurance Championship The Fun Cup Endurance Championship is, as its name suggests, always a lot of fun and it was great to be back with EDF Motorsports at Brands Hatch, a team with whom we have worked on many occasions with over the past few seasons. EDF Motorsports had three cars entered for the four-hour race at Brands Hatch on April 15th and 16th. With two entries in the Masters Championship, the #212 car driven by Simon Coles and Nick Cassidy and the #104 car piloted by Gary Summers and Victor Kara, along with the #246 entry driven by Vlad Vassilev and Matt Dorkings, we had our work cut out! After four hours of close, competitive racing in changeable conditions, Simon and Nick finished 6th in their class with Gary and Victor finishing 10th. Vlad and Matt enjoyed a solid weekend, finishing 8th overall and 4th in their class. We thoroughly enjoyed our weekend and look forward to more exciting Fun Cup action in the months ahead. GT Cup Flexibility and speed are key attributes of the service provided by JB Data Engineering, so we were delighted to step in at the last minute to provide data analysis support for Chris Hart’s Makehappen Racing at the start of its 2023 GT Cup campaign at Donington Park. The Leeds-based team entered its two-car Mercedes AMG GT4 line-up. Chris Hart and Operations Director Stephen Walton piloted the team’s #69 car while Jon Currie was joined by the highly experienced Phil Keen in the #96 entry. With four races spread over the weekend, GT Cup rounds are very demanding and we were delighted when Chris Hart and Stephen Walton took the GTH class victory in the opening contest. Following their win with a further podium and two seventh-in-class finishes meant that the #69 duo left Donington standing second in the GTH standings. Currie and Keen enjoyed a successful weekend with a podium finish in Race Two and lay fifth in the GTH standings. JB Data Engineering was back with Makehappen Racing at the end of the month for the second GT Cup weekend of the season, this time on the Brands Hatch GP circuit. It was another solid weekend for the squad, tarnished only by disqualifications for a number of entrants due to technical infringements in the fourth race. With eight races completed, Stephen and Chris lie third in the GTH (GT4) standings while Jon and Phil are two places back in fifth. TCR UK Touring Car Championship JB Data Engineering is delighted to be providing data analysis to Makehappen Racing for the 2023 season and we look forward to many more successful weekends as the season progresses. JB Data Engineering worked with the TCR UK Touring Car Championship in a Data Scrutineering role for the opening rounds of the 2023 championship at Snetterton on April the 8th and 9th. 24 cars were on the grid for rounds 1 & 2 of the 14-round championship which will visit iconic UK circuits such as Oulton Park, Silverstone, Donington and Brands Hatch. The racing was as competitive as ever and the feedback from the series organisers was very positive. The weather, which turned from cold and wet to dry and reasonably warm, helped set the atmosphere for a packed weekend of competition. New for the 2023 season is the introduction of the TCR World Ranking where drivers score points via a dedicated season which, at the end of the year, which will see the top 45 drivers in the TCR World Ranking join the top 15 drivers who have completed the TCR World Tour. All 60 drivers will compete in the TCR World Ranking Final. British Endurance Championship & Britcar Trophy Building on our data scrutineering work, JB Data Engineering was delighted to work with the British Endurance Championship and the BritcarTrophy at Brands Hatch during April. Supporting championships in this manner means that competitors can be assured that the technical regulations are being applied fairly and consistently. JB Data Engineering is very much looking forward to working with the TCR UK Touring Car Championship and the British Endurance Championship as the year progresses. Cambridge United Women JB Data Engineering was the proud match sponsor for Cambridge United Women when they met London Seaward FC in the FA Women’s National League at The Abbey Stadium on April 2nd. We were also the sponsor of seven players in the Cambridge United Women’s squad, including Sarah Wiltshire who is the 4th highest goal scorer in the National League. The team took a hard fought 2-2 draw with goals from Hayley Simpson and Sarah Wiltshire. We were delighted to be developing our sporting connections with our involvement in football and we look forward to building on our relationship with the Cambridge United Women’s team in the 2023/24 season. Well, that about wraps it up for this month. We look forward to meeting up with our clients and friends in racing paddocks over the summer.

Welcome to the April 2023 JB Data Engineering newsletter. Despite the continued UK winter weather, the season, for many domestic championships, is now underway and for others, the opening rounds are imminent. JB Data Engineering has already been busy with test support up and down the country and our diaries are now filling up with commitments both domestic and international. However we do still have some dates available if you’re looking for data engineering and analysis support. Please contact us if we can help in any way with your plans for 2023. 2023 Season gets under way at Silverstone with British Endurance Championship JB Data Engineering was delighted to invited back to the Data Scrutineering role within the British Endurance Championship, a role that we fulfilled in 2022. The opening rounds of the British Endurance Championship, the Britcar Trophy and the Britcar Prototype Cup were held at Silverstone on the final weekend of March and enjoyed weather that was, for the most part, dry and sunny. The grids across the British Endurance Championship and the Britcar Trophy were very healthy and entry numbers for the Britcar Prototype Cup are bound to increase as the season progresses, given the growing popularity in sportscar racing recently. The role of the Data Scrutineer is to ensure that all entries are running within the regulated technical parameters which is essential to ensure that racing is fair and equitable. With our experience in providing quick and accurate data analysis across many different championships and series, we were able to report back to the race organisers in a timely manner, giving all competitors confidence that the Balance of Performance rules were being correctly enforced. JB Data Engineering would like to thank Claire Hedley and her team at Britcar for their continued confidence in our services and we very much look forward to working with them throughout 2023. The Britcar paddock is full of old friends and it was a great race weekend to open the season with.

Welcome to the March 2023 JB Data Engineering newsletter. The excitement is building for the start of the new season and the daily emails we’re receiving announcing packed grids for championships both domestic and international is evidence that this year will be busy, highly competitive and a huge amount of fun. JB Data Engineering is in the final stages of confirming its plans for this year but we may still have the resources to support your racing ambitions in 2023 if you're quick! Read below for just some of the aspects we can help you with to reduce your lap times and improve your race strategies and performance. TCR UK Touring Car Car Championship Pre-Season Test Day JB Data Engineering was present at the TCR UK Touring Car Championship Pre-Season test day at Snetterton on Friday February the 24th. After a cautious start in 2018, the TCR UK Touring Car Championship has enjoyed huge growth over the past two seasons with at least 20 cars appearing on the grid for every round in 2022, with some rounds seeing grids of 25 entries. The pre-season Test Day at Snetterton saw 12 cars out on track, getting some early miles in on the Snetterton 300 2.97 mile circuit. Bruce Winfield, who finished third in the 2022 standings, was back in his Area Motorsport Hyundai i30 N TCR, lapping in 1:59.115 in the morning session which put the #37 car sixth quickest over the course of the day. It was great to see Jac Constable, returning for his third season in the championship, topping the timing screens in his latest generation Audi RS3 LMS TCR Gen II. Jac finished fifth in the standings in 2022 and has joined Rob Boston for the new season after a deal was agreed at Autosport in January. The new Audi RS3 looks fast and, combined with Audi’s legendary reliability, should make Jac one of the names to watch in 2023. JB Data Engineering was on hand to provide data collection and analysis support to all the teams present and to liaise with the series organisers following our support for the Data Scrutineering Team in 2022. With seven rounds visiting some of the most iconic circuits in the UK such as Snetterton, Oulton Park, Silverstone and Brands Hatch, the TCR UK championship is the perfect feeder series for drivers looking to make the step up to the BTCC and judging by the lap-times set at the Test Day, 2023 should be another highly competitive season.

JB Data Engineering end of year review 2022 has been an exceptionally busy year for JB Data Engineering. With full racing schedules being announced globally at the start of the year and some remaining pandemic travel restrictions still in place, opportunities became available for us to travel internationally and participate in some of the biggest endurance events on the calendar. DragonSpeed USA – IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship Elton Julian’s DragonSpeed invited JB Data Engineering to travel to Florida for the Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring, providing data services to its #81 ORECA LMP2 driven by Henrik Hedman and the father-and-son duo of ex-Formula 1 pilot and accomplished sportscar driver Juan Pablo Montoya and his son Sebastian. This was the perfect opportunity for us to utilise the skills and experience we had acquired with previous teams who had used the ORECA platform. The Twelve Hours of Sebring was progressing well with the #81 car qualifying second on the class grid and leading the LMP2 category by the end of the second hour before a race-ending crash after 83 laps. + As the team was pleased with the input that JB Data Engineering had provided in Florida, we were invited back to join the team for the Hyundai Monterey Sports Car Championship Presented by Motul at Laguna Seca, the Sahlen’s Six of the Glen, the IMSA Fastlane SportsCar Weekend at Road America and the Motul Petit Le Mans at Road Atlanta. The highlight of the year for JB Data Engineering’s work with DragonSpeed was Petit Le Mans where electrical challenges throughout the weekend meant that teamwork was essential to secure a good result. Second place in the LMP2 class was a fitting reward for the work that had been put in and it could easily have been a class win if not for a late safety car. Working within the packed IMSA timetable, and understanding how to work effectively with drivers with varying levels of experience, meant that the WeatherTech SportsCar Championship season provided some great development and learning opportunities. We very much hope we can repeat the experience in 2023. EDF Motorsports – Fun Cup Endurance Championship We were delighted to be asked to work with EDF Motorsports for two rounds of the 2022 Fun Cup Endurance Cup. At the opening round at Oulton Park in April, EDF fielded two cars – the #246 Vapeclub with EDF Motorsports entry piloted by Matt Dorkings and Vlad Vassilev and the #104 EDF Motorsport car driven by Syd Coombes and Victor Kara. We returned for the Donington round in September where the #104 car was driven by Simon Coles and Robert Croydon. Working in Fun Cup is always rewarding as the grids are highly competitive and focusing on the basics of braking, throttle control, driver technique and engineering allows an experienced data engineer to add some real value to the team. The highlight of the season was the 4th place finish at Donington for Vlad Vassilev and Matt Dorkings in the #246 car. Both drivers went into the weekend full of confidence and, if not for a safety car, could have finished the weekend on the podium. The Fun Cup Endurance Championship reminds us very much of the European Le Mans Series in that each race is a series of sprints and there is rarely much of a gap between the front runners. Less than 15 seconds separated the top four at Donington Park. If you are looking for fun, competitive racing on a reasonable budget, you should definitely consider the Fun Cup Endurance Championship. JB Data Engineering would be very happy to work with you to get the results on-track that your effort deserves. Trade Centre Formula Woman – GT Cup Championship JB Data Engineering’s commitment to encourage diversity in motorsport fitted perfectly with the opportunity to work with Trade Centre Formula Woman and its two-car entry into selected rounds of the GT Cup Championship. Four graduates from the Formula Woman programme completed the driver line up with Erika Hoffman and Jodie Sloss piloting the #64 McLaren 570S GT4 and Sara Misir and Steph Sore sharing the driving duties in the sister #65 McLaren. GT Cup weekends are always demanding with a packed schedule of practice and qualifying and a mix of sprint and endurance races. JB Data Engineering’s experience of working to similar schedules at IMSA weekends helped the team to focus on the essentials and work fast to get the four drivers up to speed as quickly as possible. JB Data engineering supported the Snetterton rounds in June and the Oulton Park and Silverstone weekends in July. Combining the roles of engineering both cars and analysing the data meant that the pressure was on over the three weekends but everybody worked hard and we found some extra life in the Pirelli tyres which even the manufacturer was surprised at. With the focus that Erika, Jodie, Sara and Steph applied over the weekends we worked with them, it’s clear they all have bright futures in GT racing and we look forward to supporting them in future seasons. VMS Racing – Race of Remembrance The annual Race of Remembrance, held at Anglesey Circuit to coincide with Remembrance Sunday, is one of the most poignant weekends in the motorsport calendar. JB Data Engineering worked with VMS Racing and its two-car team of the #9 BMW 116i driven by Warren McKinlay, Robert Mallett, Freddie Tatham and Leaun Evans and the #90 entry piloted by Tim Crighton, Matthew Graham, Ryan Ambrose and David Lawrence. VMS Racing is a new name to endurance events and the team intends to develop its BMW 116i programme in 2023. Finishing 19th and 22nd respectively was an excellent result, especially given that the #90 car had an all-rookie driving squad, many of which had obtained their ASRDS licences just days before event. Of course, the Race of Remembrance is more than just a motorsport event and to play a small part in such a memorable race to honour fallen heroes was very special. We hope to be back on the RoR grid in 2023 and build on the work of VMS Racing as it develops as a race team. TCR UK, British Endurance Championship, Praga Cup – Data Scrutineer We were delighted to become part of the data scrutineering team for the TCR UK Championship, the British Endurance Cup and the Praga Cup. Our job, to ensure all entries are running their cars within the regulated technical parameters, is essential to ensure that racing is fair and equitable. With JB Data Engineering’s experience in quick and accurate data analysis, we were able to report back to the race organisers in a timely manner, giving all competitors confidence that the Balance of Performance rules were being correctly enforced. This was our first time of working within a championship scrutineering team and tested our ability to deliver under tight time constraints, where accuracy and the ability to work with varied conditions and volumes are paramount. Lots of lessons have been learnt and we hope that we can build on 2022’s scrutineering experience with our existing partnerships and demonstrate our value to more championships next season. Everyone at JB Data Engineering would like to take this opportunity to offer our sincerest thanks to the teams and drivers we have worked with this year and we very much look forward to hopefully developing those relationships in 2023.

What a busy year this has been! It was great to have a packed schedule throughout 2021 to make up for the frustrations of the previous year. We’d like to take this opportunity to review some of the highlights of the drivers, teams and championships that JB Data Engineering has worked with throughout the season. Amigo Motorsport – Britcar Trophy We made contact with Richard Bernard in late 2020 and discussed how JB Data Engineering could support him in his Britcar Trophy campaign in 2021. Richard had the Ecumaster ADU, EMU, PDM , Battery Isolator, Keypad along with the USB to Can and GPS installed in his Porsche Boxster 986S and wanted some help in optimising the system before the season got underway. Testing went well and we learned a lot about the system, meaning that we went to the first round at Silverstone full of confidence. Some teething problems meant that qualifying didn’t go as we wished but Rich made a great start in Race One before a mechanical issue forced his retirement. Race Two was much more positive and we made eight places up at the start to finish 21st overall out of 34 finishers. Round Two at Snetterton was disappointing with a spin in Race One and a fire in Race Two. Richard decided not to continue with the season following the second round. There were, however, many positives to come out of the two-round campaign. Firstly, we had excellent discipline throughout the team, the engineering plans were good as were communications and when we spotted a development point, we worked on it. We hope to work with Richard again in 2022. Amigo Motorsport – Silverlake C1 Challenge 24-Hour Race JB Data Engineering’s support at the C1 Challenge 24 Hour Race was a relatively last-minute arrangement after Chelmsford-based Amigo Motorsport decided to enter a second car for Ben Hurst, Keith Hemsworth, Ashley Woodman and 2019 British GT champion Graham Davidson. As JB Data Engineering had previously worked with three of the four drivers, we quickly established a rhythm that resulted in the #450 car qualifying in 33rd position. The race was going well but a mechanical failure during the night meant an engine change. The resulting loss of time was impossible to make back and the #450 car finished in 43rd position. We were also compromised by contact out on track, an inevitability when you have a large grid with many novice drivers. The finishing position was a great shame, as the result didn’t reflect the immense amount of hard work that the team put in to keep the car running. Breakell Racing – Revolution Cup James Breakell’s Lancashire-based team competes with Revolution A-Ones, Radical SR3s, Ginettas and TCR Saloon Cars. We had contacted them at the start of the year to see if JB Data Engineering could offer support to any of their entries. James invited us to a test day where Richard Wells was testing his Revolution A-One. We provided data engineering to James, Richard and the team at the Silverstone round of the Revolution A-One Cup. We also supplied VBOX equipment for Richard in his Praga as well as data equipment for Breakell Racing to support them for the rest of the season. We thoroughly enjoyed working with James’ team and we look forward to building on that relationship as move into 2022. CCK Motorsport – Porsche Carrera Cup GB JB Data Engineering was approached to support Charles Rainford in his debut in the Porsche Carrera Cup GB campaign with CCK Motorsport. Charles had a lot of experience in historic racing machinery but less so in contemporary sportscars so we were very pleased to assist him in getting up to speed in what is a demanding racecar. Testing went well and everything was positive for the first round at Snetterton where Charles qualified sixth in the Pro-Am class. Fifth- and fourth-place finishes in class in the two 30-minute races demonstrated that Charles was making good progress. Sadly, however, operational constraints meant that the team was unable to retain our services for the remainder of the season. Porsche Carrera Cup racing is probably amongst the most competitive single-make series on the calendar and we very much looking forward to returning to the PCGB grid in 2022. Ultimate Speed – Intelligent Money British GT Championship JB Data Engineering worked with Mike Brown and Matt Manderson in 2020 so we were delighted to be invited back to support the team for the opening round of the British GT Championship in 2021. The team was probably hampered by a lack of pre-season testing and the pace of the Aston Martin Vantage GT3 was not improved by rear-end contact during the first practice session. After the car was repaired, the team pushed as hard as it could and it was great to see Mike Brown enjoying himself in the Aston Martin. Sadly, that was Ultimate Speed’s only British GT outing in 2021 but we hope to see them back on the grid for the premier domestic GT series next season. Valluga – GT Cup We were contacted by team owner Benjamin Heatherington at the start of the year with a request to provide VBOX support. After some initial discussions, we attended a test day at Snetterton after which the team asked if we could provide VBOX support and data analysis for their GT Cup campaign. We worked closely with the team at a number of GT Cup rounds and were delighted to be part of the highly professional outfit that clearly has ambitions to race at the highest level of GT Racing. There is no doubt they have the drive and determination to do so and we hope we can continue our working relationship as we look ahead to the new season. SVG Motorsport – Ginetta GT5 Challenge and Ginetta Academy JB Data Engineering’s working relationship with SVG Motorsport began in 2019 and when we were approached by team owner Andy Johnson to support Owen Hizzey in his Ginetta GT5 Challenge campaign in 2021 the answer was, of course, yes! Owen is very much at the start of his racing career so we were very pleased to provide some coaching along with data services. We have known Toby Trice from his days in the GRDC in 2019 so when the Kent-based driver decided to move to Ginetta Academy, we were there to support him. Toby had an astonishing season, resulting in him winning the inaugural Ginetta Academy championship. Toby now has ambitions to move into Porsche Carrera Cup racing with ultimate goal to race at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. JB Data Engineering wishes him the best of luck in his future campaigns and looks forward to being part of Toby’s team, wherever he may race. EDF Motorsport – Britcar Endurance Championship We have worked with Eddie Farrow’s EDF Motorsport since 2017 and when we were asked to support their 2021 British Endurance Championship TCR entry of Ashley Woodman and Martin Byford, we were delighted to help. Testing in the early part of the year helped the duo’s pace and consistency with the hard work and excellent preparation of the team being rewarded with second place in the Endurance category’s E4 standings at the end of the season. Had the team not been unlucky with two DNFs, there is no doubt that Woodman and Byford would have had a chance at the E4 title and this was all due to thorough pre-season planning and testing and the determination to keep improving as the year progressed. We look forward to being part of EDF Motorsport’s continued success in 2022. Throughout a very busy season, we were also fortunate, and grateful, to have supported Jacob Heap as he contested the 2021 Junior Sports Car Championship. It was great to see the progress that Jacob made over the course of the season. Jacob has a big future ahead of him and we hope to continue providing support as he moves up the championship ladder. There were a number of other teams and drivers that we worked with but sadly space prevents us from commenting on them all. However, to all the competitors that we worked with, we had a lot of fun and we hope to see you all again next year. A huge ‘Thank You’ to all our customers! So as 2021 draws to a close, JB Data Engineering would like to say a huge thank you to all our customers throughout the season. The last twelve months have been hugely satisfying and we very much look forward to providing data support, analysis and coaching wherever you may require it as we look forward to the new season. We wish you a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy, Healthy and Prosperous New Year! #MerryChristmas #2021SeasonReview #JBDataEngineering #Racing
