Race Lab, one of the five teams equipped with the McLaren GT4 in the British GT Championship, will install a blockchain-powered data tracker to capture 20 data parameters, including vehicle ignition timing, braking, oil pressure, engine temperature, steering angle and rotation, as well as gear switching.Data tracker.

Blockchain’s adoption into the motorsport was made possible by Minima, a layer-1 blockchain for decentralized physical infrastructure networks (DePINs) and data platform Influx Technology.


The partnership between Minima and Influx Technology allows the DePIN Data Logger to collect key metrics in real-time. In a recent test race, the blockchain data logger helped engineers detect a technical fault with the wheel’s turn radius and resolve it before the upcoming races.Source: Minima

Speaking to Cointelegraph, Race Lab team manager Oliver Plucknett revealed the importance of data analytics in motorsport:“Blockchain technology is being widely adopted throughout all major data-driven industries, and motorsport would fall behind if we didn’t start looking into the wide number of benefits it provides.”


Minima’s DePIN data logger secures the hash of the data, which helps prove its history and integrity, while the actual data is stored on the device independent of validators’ permissions.

Plucknett sees this as a benefit for racing teams. Open access to immutable historical data such as service history, engine tuning and maintenance ensures appreciated resale value for the supercars.McLaren digital cluster displaying car vitals. Source: Minima


In addition, it also helps teams comply with racing regulations. Plucknett explained:“After a race, the organizers need to validate that the cars have been racing according to the allowed specs. This means an official has to manually download the engine data and validate that the cars have not been tweaked.”


Plucknett said that such operations can take up to three hours in parc fermé before the winner is confirmed, “so having the immutable data transferred as the cars cross the finish line is hugely attractive.”Data capturing equipment for McLaren GT4. Source: Minima


Lastly, having one data feed supporting multiple platforms could be a real game changer for fan engagement.


A part of the data collected through Minima’s DePIN data logger can be livestreamed to fans. According to Plucknett, “Recording this data as a whole could open up opportunities within the Sim racing world.”
