The digital brain of a champion


I
n the world of motorsport, races are won on the track as well as in the workshops. One increasingly crucial aspect is electronics, which enables engineers to analyse a vast amount of data on the operation of the models. The electronic control modules on high-level competition cars and motorcycles are true digital brains. We visited the CUPRA and Ducati facilities in Martorell and Bologna to find out how they work:

- Telemetry, a tool for winning: Each CUPRA TCR features 55 sensors that provide information on all kinds of parameters such as speed, the temperature of the tyres or engine operation. On the Ducati Desmosedici GP, up to 80 sensors register everything that takes place on the track. Continuous measurement is fundamental for both teams: “Our goal is to give our rider the best possible #racing conditions by achieving maximum performance and guaranteeing safety”, explains Roberto Canè, who is Electronic System Director at Ducati Corse.
