The Importance of Control Software in Motorsport Events

In the frenetic world of Motorsport, where precision and coordination are key, the success of an event depends not only on the roar of engines and the skill of drivers, but also on efficient management behind the scenes. In this regard, control software plays a fundamental role in the organization and flawless execution of every competition, from local karting races to world-class events at renowned international circuits. Applications of Control Software Precise Schedule Programming: Imagine a Motorsport event without a clear and well-structured program. It would be chaos. Control software allows organizers to plan and coordinate every aspect of the event, from free practices to qualifying races and finals. With the ability to schedule and adjust timings with millimetric precision, the software ensures that teams, drivers, and spectators are synchronized and ready for action at every crucial moment. Real-Time Results Tracking: The excitement of racing intensifies when results can be followed instantly. This is where control software shines. With integrated timing and tracking systems, organizers can provide real-time updates on lap times, positions, and rankings. This transparency not only enhances the excitement for spectators but also provides teams and drivers with valuable data to adjust strategies on the fly. Effective Safety Management: Safety is an absolute priority in any Motorsport event. Control software not only helps plan safety measures before the event, such as staffing assignments and implementation of emergency protocols, but also enables a quick and coordinated response in case of incidents during the competition. From managing electronic flags to instant communication with rescue teams, the software ensures that safety is always at the forefront without compromising the pace of the event.

Pixelcom sponsors a single-seater designed by UJI students

Pixelcom sponsors a single-seater designed by UJI students

Committed to our initiative to support all motor sports and to promote innovation and training, Pixelcom is currently collaborating with UJI Motorsport, a team that emerged at the end of 2015 thanks to the initiative of several Mechanical Engineering students from the Universitat Jaume I (UJI) in Castellón. Our History After years of following the competition, they decided to design a UFS05 single-seater following the bases and rules of the international Formula Student competition with which they are currently participating in national and international competitions. They proposed the project to the directors of their respective faculties, and formed a team that participates in the competition representing the University of Castellón. The team is made up of students from all degree courses: engineering, mechanics, industrial, video games, robotics, communication… During the first three years the team has not stopped growing and they were present at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya during their first season, in the second they managed to qualify for a European event, at the Euro-Ring circuit in Hungary and they returned to the championship at the Circuit de Barcelona. And in the third year they managed to qualify for the championship at the Assen circuit in the Netherlands and at the Circuit de Barcelona. It is an honour for us to sponsor this team of young people whose common goal is to promote technological innovation, effort and teamwork. We hope you will be very successful in the following competitions! If you are interested in sponsoring your project, please contact us at info@pixelcom.es and we will look into it.
