Is Your VBOX HD2 Ready For The Heat? Hello and welcome to the JB Data Engineering July Newsletter. If you’ve been out racing or testing in the UK or Europe over the last ten days, we hope you survived the heat! June has been a predictably busy month for us. We began the month with a visit to Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli for Rounds Four and Five of International GT Open supporting Greystone GT. Drivers Zak Meakin and Dean MacDonald were on top form throughout the weekend with Dean qualifying the #33 McLaren 720S GT3 Evo on pole, ahead of the Elite Motorsport Ferrari. Dean MacDonald after qualifying the Greystone GT McLaren 720S Evo GT3 on pole at Misano - June 2026 (Photo: Fotospeedy / GT Sport) Two second place finishes, both by margins of less than a second, meant that Dean and Zak left Italy lying third on the overall points table, just seven points behind Team Motorpark’s Maxi Götz and Christian Mansell. The next event is at the Hungaroring in July and we can’t wait to rejoin the team and compete of podium glory in Hungary! The #33 Greystone GT McLaren 720S GT3 at the start of Race One at Misano - June 2026 (Photo: Fotospeedy / GT Sport) The month finished with a busy weekend at Donington with SVG Motorsport, competing in the GT Cup Championship. The team enjoyed a solid weekend with the #888 Ginetta G56 EVO GT4 driven by Marc Elman and Alex Toth-Jones and the #24 GTA BMW M4 GT4 piloted by Neil Wallace and Ian Astley, recording seven out of eight possible podiums in class, including wins in GTA and GTH. Outside of attending race weekends, we were as busy as ever providing data support and equipment supply to clients up and down the country and the year shows no signs of slowing down any time soon! Looking ahead, we’ve mentioned below that we have dates available for the 2026/27 Asian Le Mans Series and Asian Le Mans Cup. We’re aware that the calendar has yet to be finalised but please contact us if you’d like to discuss ‘locking in’ your data and video analysis resource before the diary starts filling up. Lock in Second Half Performance: The Ultimate Mid-Season Equipment Check With racing across the UK taking place in demanding high-temperature conditions last month, cockpit management in the heat has never been more critical. When cabin temperatures climb, it isn’t just driver performance that suffers; your on-board electronics face a massive thermal strain as well. For club racers looking to protect themselves and their data without the complexity of professional factory systems, two paddock-proven upgrades stand out. The Dimension 3D Manual 1.5-Litre Drink System (Photo: Dimension 3D) Dimension 3D Manual 1.5-Litre Drink System Hydration is your primary line of defence against heat fatigue, faded concentration and slowed reaction times during a punishing sprint or club enduro. The Dimension 3D Manual 1.5-Litre Drink System Kit (£195.00 ex VAT) delivers elite, zero-distraction hydration tailored for the self-funded competitor. Unlike complex, powered kits that require intricate 12V wiring and added failure points, this manual system relies on a reliable, food-grade tubing setup equipped with a high-flow bite valve. The 1.5-litre capacity strikes the perfect weight-to-volume for club formats, offering ample fluid for extended track sessions. Wrapped in a secure, roll cage-mounted bracket configuration, the Dimension 3D Manual 1.5-Litre Drink System is an affordable, robust, afternoon installation that ensures you stay sharp until the chequered flag. Contact JB Data Engineering to order your Dimension 3D 1.5-Litre Drink System Kit or to discuss the full range of Dimension 3D motorsport drink solutions. Cooling Fan for VBOX Video HD2 It isn’t just the driver who feels the heat; critical data loggers are equally susceptible to extreme ambient temperatures. If your cockpit breaches the 50°C mark, the VBOX HD2 Cooling Fan changes from a luxury to an absolute necessity. This specialised, clip-on cooling fan attaches directly to the casing fins of the HD2 unit, rapidly lowering the enclosure’s temperature to prevent thermal throttling or unexpected data corruption mid-race. Crucially for club racers, installation require zero custom wiring. The fan plugs directly into the unit’s power socket, featuring a trailing in-line socket so your existing vehicle power hooks straight back into it. The VBOX HD2 Cooling Fan is a simple plug-and-play insurance policy for your most valuable data asset. Contact JB Data Engineering now to discuss how we can help you make the most of your mid-Summer racing without overheating! Looking Ahead to 2027 Even though we have barely passed the halfway point of the 2026 season, motorsport never stops and many teams are already making plans for racing in Asia in 2026/27. The announcement of the introduction of the Asian Le Mans Cup for LMP3 machinery to run alongside the Asian Le Mans Series with the new Hypercar Pro/Am class means that many teams will see Asia as a key focus of competition on their way to ELMS and WEC glory. At JB Data Engineering we have extensive experience working with prototypes, including stints working in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship and the WEC. If you would like to discuss how we can help and start the process of locking in your data support for the 2026/27 season, we’d be delighted to assist. Please email, call us on 00(44) 7717 562169 or book an exploratory chat using the links below and let’s explore how JB Data Engineering can support your racing ambitions for the end of this year and beyond. Wherever you are racing, we hope you have a fantastic July and we look forward to our paths crossing in a paddock soon! Have a great July! The JB Data Engineering Team. Jorda Jordan

Five Essential Trackside Spares for the 2026 Season With the first green flag of 2026 imminent, your spares inventory should be at 100%. While mechanical components are usually covered, data and video spares are frequently overlooked. Don’t let a £50 cable or a cracked hose result in a DNS or loss of critical data. Here are five “paddock proven” essentials JB Data Engineering recommends for your 2026 spares kit. RaceSense Replacement Tyre Pressure Hose (Photo: RaceSense) 1) RaceSense: Replacement Tyre Pressure Hose Your RaceSense Digital Gauge is one of the most-used tools in the garage. Over multiple seasons, hoses can split, crack or develop valve fatigue. Carrying a replacement ensures your tyre pressures - and your car’s performance - remain precise. Order your RaceSense Replacment Tyre Pressure Hose now from JB Data Engineering. CARTEK Battery Isolator (Kill Switch) (Photo: CARTEK) 2) CARTEK: Battery Isolator (Kill Switch) Motorsport UK General Technical Regulations are non-negotiable: your car must have a fully functional master switch. If your isolator fails scrutiny or develops an intermittent fault, you won’t be allowed on the grid. We supply CARTEK units to ensure you pass scrutineering every time. JB Data Engineering can re-stock your spares store with CARTEK kill switches. Call us now to discuss your requirements. VBOX Unterminated Power Supply Cable (Photo: VBOX) 3) VBOX: Power & Interface Cables The cockpit is a brutal environment. Heat, vibration and constant adjustments can compromise even the most professional installations. We recommend carrying a “Data Kit” containing: Unterminated Power Supply Cables CAN Interface & OBDII Cables USB Logging Cables A damaged lead shouldn’t cost you a weekend’s worth of coaching videos. Let JB Data Engineering advise you on the appropriate spares to carry. VBOX Roll Cage Camera Mount with Thumb Nut (Photo: VBOX) 4) VBOX: Roll Cage Camera Mount Repeated over-tightening and high-frequency vibration eventually leads to mount fatigue. A loose camera isn’t just a data risk; it’s a safety hazard. Keep a spare Roll Cage Mount with Thumb Nut in your spares store to ensure your “POV” is always secure and compliant. AiM GPS09 Module (Photo: AiM) 5) AiM: GPS09 Module Your data system is only as good as its satellite fix. A GPS failure renders your lap timing, predictive delta and track mapping useless. Carrying a spare AiM GPS09 Module (available in both Standard and Open versions) is the only way to guarantee your data integrity if your primary unit takes a hit or fails. The JB Data Engineering Verdict Data and video are your most powerful tools for driver development. Don’t leave your progress to chance. Call us on 00(44) 7717 562169 to audut your data and video spares and ensure you’re fully equipped for 2026. Have a Successful April! Please call if you need any assistance with deciding on your next data and video acquisition or need technical support to configure your setup. We’d be delighted to help. We look forward to our paths crossing in a paddock very soon! Have a great April! The JB Data Engineering Team. Jorda Jordan

Make Video Work Harder For You! Hello and welcome to the March edition of the JB Data Engineering newsletter. We hope your preparations have gone well and that you’re excited about getting out on track for the 2026 season. JB Data Engineering is currently in Europe as part of the test team for an exciting historic GT3 project - more on that as the weeks progress! In this newsletter we suggest how club racers can make better use of video…..and it’s not necessarily all about watching complete laps. We also present the Ecumaster RF Steering Wheel Panel (supplied by JB Data Engineering) and show how the unit can tidy up cockpit wiring and improve ergonomics for racers. Finally, we introduce a new associate for JB Data Engineering; P1 Productions and its new Prebuilt Website service - an essential marketing tool for those starting out on the motorsport ladder. We’re pretty much working at capacity now for the upcoming season (thank you to all existing clients who booked JB Data Engineering for this year) but we may have a few dates available if you’re looking for data and video support. Please call us on 00(44) 7717 562169 to see if we can help. Make Video Work Harder For You! If you’ve invested in video equipment for 2026, you may be tempted to just review complete laps and see where you can save time. But….video can do so much more! Video review is a powerful tool so here are FIVE engineering -focused tips for club racers looking to move beyond basic review sessions. 1) Sync Video with Predictive Delta Timing The most powerful use of video can be found in identifying the exact moment when your Delta-T (time difference) begins to deteriorate. Use analysis software like VBOX Circuit Tools or Aim RaceStudio to sync your video with a GPS-Based Delta graph. Objective: Don’t just look for where you are slow - look at the video the moment the delta line ticks upward. Was it a difference in corner entry, getting on the throttle later or downshifting too early? Seeing the error on video makes the lesson easier to remember than just looking at data traces. 2) Perform “Reference Points Audits” Use your video to build a library of visual reference points for every corner by freeze-framing your video at three crucial points: Braking, Turn-In and Apex. Objective: Identify a permanent track feature (marshal post, curb end) for each point. This avoids ‘feel’ which can be inconsistent. If your video shows you braking at one point on your quickest lap but a different point on your slowest, you’ve uncovered an inconsistency that you can correct   3) Listen To Your Tyres Listen to, as much as watch, your videos, especially at the mid-corner phase. Objective: A constant, scrubbing sound indicates you’re at the limit of your grip. No sound and you have untapped grip. If you hear the engine stutter or dip mid-corner, you are likely inducing understeer. Use audio to judge if you are truly maximising your car’s lateral potential. 4) Use ‘Ghost’ Overlays If you have a teammate or faster friend, use ‘side-by-side’ or ‘transparency’ overlays. Many software packages allow you to put two videos in one frame, synced by the same GPS coordinates. Objective: Look at the ‘ghost’ car. If they pull away at the exit of a corner, it’s likely to indicate you’re either late on the throttle or using a compromised line. A ‘Lead-Follow’ video comparison is often more intuitive for a club racer to grasp than a speed trace. 5) Monitor Inputs vs Reactions Mount a second, driver-facing camera or wide-angle POV that includes your hands and feet. Objective: Look for corrective inputs. If your hands are constantly ‘sawing’ at the wheel mid-corner, you are reacting to a car imbalance rather than driving it. Video allows you to see if you are initiating the slide or just reacting. JB Data Engineering is an expert in supplying and installing video systems to suit all budgets. We also provide provide training on their use and can supprt your driver-coach. Call JB Data Engineering on 00(44) 7717 562169 or email jordan@jbdataengineering.co.uk to explore how we can help. De-Clutter Your Cockpit with Ecumaster If you’re looking to clean up your cockpit, remove unnecessary cabling and improve ergonomic efficiency while racing, the Ecumaster RF Steering Wheel Panel is a must-have. Using an encrypted radio frequency (RF) to talk to your car’s PMU or ECU, the Ecumaster RF Steering Wheel Panel eliminates the need for the dreaded ‘“Curly Cable” connecting your steering wheel to the dashboard. Why switch to the Ecumaster RF Steering Wheel Panel? Weight and Complexity Reduction: For a clean cockpit build, the RF Panel is unbeatable, removing the need to run wiring through a hollow steering column or use expensive military-spec slip rings. The panel is powered by a small, internal battery designed to last for over 1.5m button presses, meaning that the wheel remains completely autonomous from the car’s electrical system. Integration with CAN Bus Systems: The Ecumaster RF Steering Wheel Panel communicates directly with its receiver which is plugged directly into your car’s CAN Bus network. Each of the panel’s eight buttons and two rotary encoders can be mapped to any function with your Ecumaster EMU or PMU. Elimination of the Dreaded “Curly Cable”!: Traditional racing steering wheels with buttons require a coiled cable that stretches and twists as you steer. These cables are a common failure point; they can snag on gear levers, wrap around the steering column and eventually fray due to constant fatigue. Removing the cable deletes a failure point and improves safety as there is no physical tether that can can interfere with either rapid steering inputs or the driver’s ability to exit the vehicle in an emergency. Universal Fitment: The Ecumaster RF Steering Wheel Panel is designed to fit standard 6-bolt steering wheels like MOMO, Sparco or OMP that have a 70mm bolt pattern. You can swap the steering wheel between different cars (if they have the RF receiver installed) without re-wiring the entire setup. The Ecumaster RF Steering Wheel Panel is perfect for lap timers, radio, wipers and traction control maps. (For safety, critical “kill” switches should remain hard-wired). JB Data Engineering can supply, install and provide expert advice on how to optimise your investment in the Ecumaster RF Steering Wheel. A Professional Web Presence for the JB Data Engineering Community Teams and drivers at all levels invest hours in analysing data and perfecting car setups to find tenths of a second. However, are they as focused on ensuring that their brand, and those of their partners, receive the same amount of attention? Social media is a great tool for instant engagement but it’s a volatile place to guarantee that your message is getting across. Changes in algorithms and the risk of hacks mean posts can get buried. For a serious team or driver seeking new sponsors and looking to provide their existlng partners with meaningful exposure, owning your personal on-line space is non-negotiable. hat’s why we’re delighted to announce our collaboration with P1 Productions . P1 Productions has launched a new, motorsport-specific, prebuilt website service, focused on drivers and teams. This is not a static “on-line advert”: this is a high-performance marketing tool. For an accessible initial fee and a modest monthly subscription of less than £100, you get a professional website that tells the world you mean business. Why a P1 Productions Website? Monthly Content Updates: Your site remains fresh and sharp with monthly news updates provided by EnduranceandGT , ensuring your latest results and messages are always current and available. Partner Credibility: Give your sponsors a dedicated space with high-res graphics, permanent logo placement and links to their websites, marketing material and contact details. (P1 Productions maintains direct contact with your partners, if requested, to ensure that your messages are aligned.) Clear, Well-Designed and Easy to Navigate: P1 Productions is expert in providing legible websites that are easy to navigate and have a strong, visual appeal, ensuring your messages always get across. To view it from a racing perspective, a professional website is the “chassis” of your on-line marketing and supports everything else you do - from social media to email newsletters and merchandise. If you’re ready to get on the grid with a site that works as hard as you do, and at a price that fits your budget, email tom@P1graphics.co.uk , call 00(44) 7555 684473 or click here . The Best of Luck for 2026! Don’t forget that JB Data Engineering is always at the end of the phone if you need advice or guidance, and, subject to availability, we can be wherever you need us to resolve your data and video issues before the new season’s track action starts earnestly. We hope to see you in a paddock or workshop soon. Have a great March! The JB Data Engineering Team. Jorda Jordan

Could the Aim MX Strada Light Series Be Your Go-To Dash Display? Hello and welcome to our February Newsletter! With many teams now out testing, the days getting longer (slightly!) and the prospect of the new season closer than ever, now is the time to make sure your video and data systems are tested, prepared and ready to go for another year of on-track action. In this month’s newsletter, we offer our four-point essential checklist to get you race-ready for 2026. This month, we’re shining the spotlight on the Aim MX Strada Light series of dash displays which are perfect for ‘plug-and-go’ applications where full data logging isn’t required. We’re also highlighting some 2026 updates and improvements to the ever-popular VBOX Circuit Tools 3 so read through to the end of this month’s newsletter to see what’s changed for the new season! Countdown to Racing! Teams and club-racers will now be working flat-out to get their racecars into the best possible shape to start intensive testing and preparation for the start of the 2026 season. Naturally, mechanical preparations will be paramount, with new parts and spares being ordered and prepared. Don’t, however, forget your data and video systems in the focus to get out for the first time. Problems in the garage could waste valuable track-time or, worse, lead to scrutineering problems. Here are our four essential checks to ensure a smooth start to racing in 2026. 1) Is Hardware Tested and Checked? You may have been working extensively on developing your car mechanically in the off-season but what about your data and video systems? Chafed wires can cause data glitches and video break-up while dirt and moisture from off-track excursions and contact in 2025 could be the cause of equipment malfunctions in early-season racing JB Data Engineering supplies, installs, services and repairs data and video equipment from all major manufacturers. We can check and prepare your systems in your workshop and ensure you’re ready to go when the pitlane light turns green for your first 2026 session.

2025 Season Review Hello and welcome to the JB Data Engineering End of Season Review for 2025! Where have the last twelve months gone!? Before we start looking at the series and teams we supported, the JB Data Engineering team would like to say a huge thank you to everybody who has used our services or bought products from us throughout the year. We are all aware of the current economic realities of professional motorsport and the demands on budgets. Your support in 2025 has been incredible and we hope we can continue to provide our products and services to you, as teams, drivers or championships, as we move into the new season. Protyre Motorsport Ginetta GT Championship 2025 has been a very busy season and one of the most engrossing projects we were involved in was providing data support to DTO Motorsports in the Protyre Motorsport Ginetta GT Championship. We were delighted to be given the opportunity to support Emma Tomlinson in the #47 Ginetta G56 GTP8 and I think everybody learned a lot throughout the season. Being one of the few teams with only one car in the championship meant that we had to learn quickly at the circuit, without the benefit of data from multiple entries. Also, with the G56 GTP8 being a new car and in constant development by Ginetta, there were some challenges we had to work through but everybody worked as a team to ensure a high level of competitiveness. Above:  Emma Tomlinson at the wheel of the #47 DTO Motorsport Ginetta G56 GTP8 at Brands Hatch (Photo: Ginetta) We were pleased that there were several benefits that we could bring to the programme that we hope made a difference. Our ability to study data quickly and decide which setup options offered the most advantages was an area where we could make a big difference. Using our prior Ginetta experience, we knew where to look and how to react when faced with questions. Our ten years of experience working within garages throughout the world also meant that we could offer clear guidelines and steer decision-making in the right direction. We also brought in some ‘best practice’ processes to the team and suggested some race weekend disciplines that we hope everyone benefited from. Above: The 2025 Ginetta GT Championship grid in action (Photo: Ginetta) Emma Tomlinson raced to two podium finishes on her way to finishing 13 th overall in the Ginetta GT Championship and third in the Am category – a fantastic result for only her first season competing at this level. Airtec Motorsport Fiesta ST240 Championship   Above: Airtec Motorsport Fiesta ST240 Championship grid in action at Anglesey (Photo: Fiesta ST240) One of the most demanding programmes for us in 2025 was supporting JRW Motorsport in the Airtec Motorsport Fiesta ST240 Championship. Drivers Sean Reynolds, Zachary Lucas, Morgan Kidd, James Pope, Christopher Blackburn, Connor Blackburn, Maggie Webster, Matt Chambers and Simon Horrobin were a pleasure to work with. It was fantastic to see the drivers commitment and determination rewarded with 10 podium finishes across the classes they competed in when the championship concluded at the BRSCC Formula Ford Festival at Brands Hatch in October. The relationship with JRW Motorsport came about after we were invited to support a pre-season test day. That led to an offer to join the team for the season and an early indication of where we could help occurred when the team had an ABS issue on one car. A review of the data suggested an issue with a wheel speed sensor, resulting in the diagnosis of water ingress to the wheel bearing. This issue would have been impossible to spot without stripping the car down but JB Data Engineering’s data insight enabled the team to resolve the issue quickly and effectively without the need for an extensive tear-down. Above: The Airtec Motorsport Fiesta ST240 Championship in action at Snetterton (Photo: Fiesta ST240) As the season progressed, we all gained a much better understanding of the Fiesta ST240. Using data to diagnose performance issues meant we could avoid spending money on spare parts in the hope that it would make for a quicker race car. We were delighted to develop a very productive working relationship with driver coach Bobby Thompson. With Bobby looking after the drivers and JB Data Engineering reviewing data, we created a package for the team so that everybody knew what to focus on. When the season came to an end, we were delighted to see the number of our drivers who finished within the top ten of their respective classes. As a result, we look forward to 2026 with the confidence to be even more competitive. GT Cup Championship Above: The #24 SVG Motorsport BMW M4 GT4 in action at Brands Hatch (Photo: GT Cup Championship) Previous experience of competing, and winning, in the GT Cup Championship was the ‘USP’ that led to an invitation from SVG Motorsport to join them for 2025 as they campaigned their Ginetta G56 EVO GT4, driven by Marc Elman and Owen Hizzey, and BMW M4 GT4, piloted by Neil Wallace and Ian Astley. Calling on our knowledge of both the series and the cars, we suggested some procedural changes to improve operating efficiencies over a race weekend as well as investment in VBOX Pit Lane Timers and RaceSense Digital Tyre Pressure Gauges. As the season progressed, it was satisfying to see that both the Ginetta and the BMW could battle with every car in their respective classes with the result that Neil and Ian comfortably won the GTA class with Marc and Owen finishing third in the GTH category. Photo: The #99 SVG Motorsport Ginetta G56 EVO GT4 (Photo: GT Cup Championship) We were delighted that the team could see the value of working with a data engineer who could plug in to a car and quickly and efficiently diagnose a problem and suggest solutions. We hope we can be part of the SVG Motorsport GT Cup journey again in 2026. British Endurance Championship Above: The British Endurance Championship on track at Donington (Photo: British Endurance Championship) 2025 was our fourth year of supporting the British Endurance Championship, managed and run by Claire Hedley and her team, and it was fantastic to see the enthusiasm for the new format with racing now taking place over one day, rather than the whole weekend. JB Data Engineering has worked across a large number of series and championships and we must offer our congratulations to Claire and her colleagues for making the new calendar work so well. Visiting eight different venues over eight weekends is a real accomplishment and, as a contractor working as part of the motorsport industry, we are very grateful to the BEC for keeping teams, drivers and professionals like us busy throughout the season. Above: Ash Woodman in the EDF Cupra TCR (Photo British Endurance Championship) Our focus this year was data scrutineering for the TCR entries and then, when time allowed, supporting the rest of the grid. This allowed us to demonstrate one of the key strengths of JB Data Engineering; the ability to work under pressure, questioning where necessary, and the confidence to make decisions. As always, the racing was excellent and a great season was enjoyed by all. We very much hope to back in the British Endurance Championship paddock in 2026.

Regularly checking your tyre temps and pressures can improve your lap times. Taking regular tyre temperature and pressure readings is essential to perfecting your setup and lengthening tyre life. Using the traditional gauge, pyrometer and recording data manually takes time, with  every second of delay reducing the accuracy of your readings. We're taking a detailed look at the RaceSense Tyre Gauge with optional temperature probe and we explain why the RaceSense Tyre Gauge should be an essential tool for you at the track. The RaceSense Tyre Gauge Changes The Game! Tyre pressures and temperatures are racing’s gold. Get them right and lap times drop while tyres last longer. Normally you’d be juggling a pressure gauge, pyrometer, a notebook and a pen while rushing to capture accurate data before tyres cool. The RaceSense Tyre Gauge changes the game. Here are six reasons why we think the RaceSense Tyre Gauge should be essential equipment in your tool box.   1) Record Pressures Fast and Accurately Record pressures on all four tyres without pressing any buttons. The starting tyre and direction (i.e. FL, RL, RR, FR - clockwise or anti-clockwise) can be preset, as can two- and four-tyre mode. The unit has the capacity for seven vehicles, allowing for easy switching between entries for a multi-car team.   2) Some Like It Hot Include the optional thermocouple probe and the RaceSense Tyre Gauge can record the inner, middle and outer tyre temperatures. Data captured is accurate to within +/-1º C and the unit will additionally record time, date and ambient temperature, all of which can be exported. 3) There’s An App For That The RaceSense Tyre Gauge has a built-in phone link, allowing you to upload data in less than a second and view it in the RaceSense app. If your phone isn’t available, you can plug the gauge directly into your laptop and download a CSV file.   4) Keep Your Data Secret Instead of displaying your pressures on the RaceSense Tyre Gauge for all to see, select OFFSET MODE. This allows you to input your desired pressures beforehand, with the unit then showing the offset from these values rather than actual pressures on the screen. Adjust pressures until you reach zero and no one will know what pressures you’re running 5) It’s Tough! The RaceSense Tyre Gauges’s die-cast, powder-coated, water-resistant aluminium case is designed to take a beating and with its durable polycarbonate screen, this tool will be a trackside essential for many years to come….as long as someone doesn’t ‘borrow’ it in the meantime! (Pro Tip: Inscribe your name on it.)   6) Battery Life Will Not Be a Problem The RaceSense Tyre Gauge charges, upgrades and downloads via a USB connection and a single charge will last for 24 hours when the unit is in constant use - perfect for the world’s longest endurance races! Using the RaceSense Tyre Gauge transforms the collection of tyre and pressure data. If you want to discuss a technical issue, review options for new equipment purchases or generally get advice about data and video capture, you can book a 30-minute telephone consultation where we can discuss your issues in detail and provide solutions. At just £20.00 + VAT for half an hour, we think this represents excellent value and we hope we can provide some insightful support for you during that time. A 30-minute consultation with a data engineering expert could be invaluable if you’re struggling with an issue and just want a detailed conversation. Jordan

Welcome to the July 2025 JB Data Engineering Newsletter. Is poor cable management and GPS receiver positioning compromising your data? Hello and welcome to our latest newsletter! As we’re now at the peak of the motorsport season, the JB Data Engineering team has been working flat-out over the past few weeks and it doesn’t look like it’s slowing down any time soon. We hope your season is going well and that you’re seeing the results of all your hard work in podium finshes and series success. (Above: SVG Motorsport Team Principal Andy Johnson in conversation with JB Data Engineering - Snetterton - June 2025) In our June newsletter, we outlined some work we’d carried out in conjunction with Racelogic, focused on the development of new graphic overlay files. We were recently speaking with our friends at the company after they had returned from Spa, supporting teams in the British GT Championship. Racelogic mentioned that some teams are still struggling to optimise the position of their GPS antenna - a critical factor in ensuring accurate, efficient data. As a result, we thought we’d include some hints and tips on VBOX HD2 installation that we hope you might find helpful. We have also included links to two excellent Racelogic videos, presented by Customer Support Manager Mark Winwood, which provide expert guidance on the important areas of cable routing, camera placement and antenna installation. For expert data, engineering or video support, whether it’s for equipment supply, installation, training or support at the track, please email us at www.jbdataengineering.co.uk or call (44) 7717 562169 . We’d love to hear from you! VBOX HD2 Installation: Precision for Drivers at all levels Photo: Racelogic For drivers seeking faster laps, Racelogic’s VBOX HD2 delivers pro-level data, but making sure the unit is installed correctly is crucial for optimum performance. JB Data Engineering, trusted by teams ranging from club-level competitors through to FIA WEC champions, shares expert tips to ensure your HD2’s 1080p video and 25Hz GPS delivers the data you need. Avoid common pitfalls and boost performance – here’s how: Plug-and-Play Simplicity: The VBOX HD2 is a breeze to install – just watch the video below featuring DTO Motorsport’s Jack Goldie for an expert view on installation into the team’s new Ginetta GTP8. Connect power, CAN, cameras and GPS via pre-pinned connectors – no soldering needed. The CAN system integrates with your car’s dash (e.g., MoTeC), piggy-backing brake, throttle and engine data in minutes. Installation is quick and efficient –perfect for club racers short on time. ((Photo: Racelogic) Protect Cables, Preserve Data: Avoid crimping or bending cables. Tight bends near seats or dashboards (common in MX5s, for example) disrupt signals, skewing brake trails or gear selections – vital for spotting those 0.2s gains. Use loose cable ties and allow for slack, especially at the back of the camera. Route cables without kinks to avoid interference. The excellent video below from Racelogic explains in more detail the best way to cable your VBOX HD2. Smart GPS Mounting: Mount the GPS antenna externally on a flat, metallic surface (roof or bonnet) and avoid dashboards (non-metallic) or roll cages (blocked sky view). British GT teams at Spa learned this the hard way, with many teams struggling with poor antenna placement. Locate the antenna at least 10cms away from other similar devices and, for cars with carbon fibre and composite roofs, add metal tape as a mounting point. This ensures pinpoint track map accuracy. The video below shows precisely how to locate your antenna. Why It Works: Proper setup delivers reliable data and video for drivers, teams and race engineers with poor installs potentially wasting time and money. JB Data Engineering has been installing and working with VBOX HD2 installations for many years and we can ensure that you are able extract maximum value from your VBOX investment. JB Data Engineering offers expert HD2 installations and trackside support. We can ensure cables are correctly routed and secured and that your GPS is spot-on, maximising your data and video for sponsor-ready clips!

Asia’s growing wealth and car culture, especially in Malaysia and the UAE, pack grandstands.

You can also manually make panels bigger or smaller. New Graphs: The data graphs within Circuit Tools have been enhanced to improve their clarity and sharpness. A new drag-and-drop function allows you to consolidate multiple channels onto a single axis, with the added ability to easily change the colour on each data set for better differentiation.
