Data Logging Seminar For Karters

To coincide with the $5,000 Gold Rush City of Wodonga Titles (event details HERE), Motorsports Training Australia will be conducting a seminar with two 4 hour sessions on "Introduction to Race Engineering and Data Logging".

Karters are invited to come and find out why and how they can start taking advantage of data from their own kart racing.

Did you know you can use track maps, split times with the basic kart data loggers – even without a speed sensor? Learn how to help a driver get up to speed more quickly and see exactly where and how they can improve; find out how to see exactly where a setup change was an advantage or disadvantage.

Come and join us and we will show you how you can put the same techniques and principles that top teams use into your kart racing. Whether you race for fun or are an aspiring upcoming driver you will see the power of data.
