Data platform · In architecture

Motorsport Engineering Platform

Personal platform still in architecture to study motorsport data and telemetry. The proposal foresees data pipelines, lap analysis and interactive visualisations; aerodynamics and simulation studies are future research stages.

Type
Independent personal project
Status
In architecture, nothing implemented
Scope
Motorsport telemetry and data
Motorsport Engineering Platform cover: concept art of a single-seater in motion, with telemetry. Not a simulator.

The idea

The proposal brings telemetry ingestion, data processing, a 3D view and, as a research stage, fluid dynamics and optimisation studies into one place. Today there is the architecture sketch and the list of questions the project has to answer.

  1. Public telemetry source
  2. Ingestion and cleaning
  3. Data model by lap and sector
  4. 3D view
  5. Simulation research (CFD)

Four planned fronts

Telemetry

Find out where public racing data comes from and in what format, before deciding how to store it.

Data engineering

Design ingestion, cleaning and a model that allows comparing laps, sectors and sessions.

3D visualisation

Show the track and the data readout in space, as an aid to analysis and not as decoration.

CFD and optimisation research

Study, with free tools, how aerodynamic simulation and optimisation could enter the flow. This is the most distant front.

Conceptual schematic

Illustrative technical schematic of the planned modules. It is a conceptual drawing, not evidence of wind-tunnel work or running software.

Original conceptual illustration, no brand or team. Planned modules, nothing implemented.

Principles

Public data and free tools only. No use of brands, teams or sponsors, and no suggestion of affiliation with anyone in the sport.

Planned stack

Tools foreseen for each front. This is architecture planning: none of it is implemented and the final choice is still under evaluation.

What does not exist yet

No aerodynamic simulation has been run, there is no committed schedule and the technologies to be chosen are still being evaluated. This page shows the architecture thinking, not results.
