Engaging in a second campaign with Porsche Motorsport’s new 992 GT3R, MPS are delighted to be selected by Team Parker Racing to provide Data and Systems Engineering Services for their new GT World Challenge Europe Endurance Championship programme too.
With clashes in the calendar between GTWCE and MLMC, MPS couldn’t commit to a full season in GTWCE but working with the same team for both championships has worked brilliantly and MPS can transfer all of their work on the Cosworth Electronics Systems within the car, thanks to being Cosworth Electronics Specialists, to the team to help them stay up to speed as best as possible when we can’t be on event with them directly.
The team’s entry will be in the AM class and is made up with friends of TPR & MPS.
Businessman Derek Pierce, who we previously raced with in his Bentley GT3, will be the team’s Bronze graded entrant.
2022 Carrera Cup GB Champion, young Kiern Jewiss, will be the team’s super quick Silver graded driver in his first season racing a GT3 car and seasoned professional, Andy Meyrick, will be continuing on his relationship with both TPR and Derek as the Gold graded driver.
The Championship is arguably the most competitive GT3 Championship in the world, with huge manufacturer supported entries, and the highlight of the season which races at some of the best tracks in Europe is undoubtedly the prestigious Spa 24 Hours.
MPS’ experience competing in a number of prestigious 24 hours races previously can be seen in a multitude of different ways in how that we operate on event, including in how we design our live telemetry workbooks. As fatigue sets in, you don’t want to have to be making complex analytical decisions in order to operate effectively as the race plays out and therefore MPS have developed a number of complex maths channels and display features in their Pi Toolbox workbooks in order to take complex data inputs and boil it down to making simple decisions / display the information in an easy to interpret way.
MPS can help our customers develop their own data analysis and live telemetry workbooks (available just as a small project on its own, without having to commit to a full season of track support etc. with us) in any data analysis programme that they work with, although we are specialists with the hugely powerful Pi Toolbox.
