“Since our inception, Aim Technologies' mission has been clear; we pioneer cutting-edge automotive and motorsport technologies.”

An Introduction

In motor racing, as in any sport, keeping the competition alive and the playing field level is key. Re-launched for the 2018 motor racing season, Aim began rolling out their data analysis methods throughout the sport by integrating their market leading data acquisition technology within cars and providing electronic eligibility scrutineering across multiple championships. Detecting inequality in motor racing is not a new concept, in fact it has been attempted for many years and on a global scale, with championships using various methods to ensure fairness of competition in racing. But with varying ad hoc approaches to methods, regulations and technology, there has not until now been a clear and effective process to lead the way in the motor racing arena.

Aim’s electronic eligibility scrutineering techniques are set to raise the bar and guarantee the parity of cars across championships, to the benefit of both teams and championship organisers alike. Their innovative and revolutionary performance measuring techniques, along with their esteemed hardware and software solutions, bring together two elements never used in unison for the purpose of fair competition in motorsport creating a truly unique approach.

Not only are championship organisers able to be safe in the knowledge that they are running equitable events, but teams too are able to reap the benefits of Aim’s hardware being installed within their vehicles. The systems fitted are of bonus and benefit to competitors as they provide in depth information to assist with vehicle analysis and driver coaching for enhanced performance.

Aim Technologies have extensive motorsport experience, paired with their many years of refinement and research developing their software and hardware solutions. Aim Technologies are firmly placed at the forefront of design and manufacture for motorsport vehicle monitoring equipment. Aim products are used by tens of thousands of race drivers and teams, making Aim highly regarded as the go-to brand for data acquisition technology worldwide.

Balance of Performance

Services and Equipment.

Services

  • Working with championships and manufacturers who have different types of vehicles racing to establish a level playing field.
  • Collaboration with championships and manufacturers to write balance of performance guidelines, regulations and compliance.
  • Ensuring vehicle eligibility across the board; from making sure regulations and guidelines are legitimate to power detection tests, and eliminating the requirement of dyno tests by using live rolling road dyno tests.
  • Analysing the power curves of different cars in championships to identify foul play or if a vehicle is doing something different.

Equipment

  • Aim’s GPS logging equipment automatically creates data channels within session data files to measure the vehicles dynamic performance.
  • Our equipment analyses lateral acceleration, longitudinal acceleration and yaw rate to identify any abnormal data that may elude to cheating, allowing for further investigation to take place.
  • Our equipment eludes to an interface with vehicles, running independently to get information from dedicated software to work out any abnormalities in the behavior of vehicles to highlight any data that isn’t correct.

Standards Scrutineering

Support and Cheat Detection.

  • Using the Balance of Performance and championship regulations and guidelines to provide a technical scrutineering assessment of all vehicles in the championship.
  • Aim’s scrutineers will assess vehicle eligibility to identify if and where cheating may be taking place.
  • Integrating with vehicle ECUs we are able to determine if ECUs have been tampered with.
  • By monitoring ECU inputs and outputs we are able to work out what vehicles may be doing differently to other competitors and then measure if anything irregular is happening.
  • Once we have identified any irregularities we are able to work with the GPS and accelerometer data of vehicles to ascertain whether a vehicle is performing well due to driver performance or if something else is aiding the vehicles performance.
  • An example of this would be if a certain vehicle was out-performing other vehicles repeatedly on corners, that would elude to the tyres being the performance enhancer as they are closest to the track, therefore the necessary checks could be commissioned to conclude whether a different compound was being used in that vehicles tyres.
  • We implement our uniquely developed software which allows our data engineers to instantly and accurately identify infringements of pre-defined championship regulations.

Data Engineers

Lead, second, backup or support engineers for championships.

  • Aim will provide track side championship and manufacturer support to those using Aim hardware for Scrutineering and/or Balance of Performance within the championship.
  • Aim employee highly experienced Data Engineers; from lead engineers to secondary engineers and can also offer whole team solutions.
  • Our backup and support engineers are also able to provide trackside to support existing manufacturer or championship teams.
  • The benefits of having Aim Data Engineers track side include the assistance in hardware support and ensuring all data is collected and analysed effectively.
  • Our whole team solution takes the onus of sourcing Data Engineers to work with Aim’s hardware and software from the championship and manufacturer and places it with our experienced and highly effective teams

Crash, Yellow Flag
and Incident Support

Identifying Yellow Flag Breaches using Data and Video Footage for Corroboration.

  • Identifying Yellow Flag Breaches using Data and Video Footage for Corroboration.
  • Video Footage Recording for Judicial Reasons, Incidents and Crashes incident/crash or judicial for accidents and breaches.
  • Our video recording hardware is installed in all championship vehicles to allow post incident evaluation.
  • Video footage recording allows accident investigation to be more detailed and accurate, allowing for effective accident reporting and post-accident recommendations.
  • Footage can be used to corroborate any violations in the instance of a dispute.
  • Data recording allows championship organisers to assess and evaluate any data from a vehicle in the instance of a breach or incident; both improving the safety of drivers and maintaining a level playing field in their championship.
