RACING · RESEARCH
Motorsport is more than competition. It is a system in which technology, organisation and decision-making become visible under extreme conditions. It is precisely at this point that knowledge is gained.

Our Mission

Racing Research analyses motorsport as a complex interaction of technology, organisation and data. This work is guided by three core principles.

Analysis

Decisions, technologies and strategies in motorsport are examined in a fact-based, transparent and reproducible manner, without relying on simplified narratives.

Technology

The focus lies on engineering and data-driven foundations that shape motorsport as a high-performance system.

Safety

Safety is understood as an integral component of performance, development and responsibility in motorsport.

Racing Research is an independent research platform focusing on motorsport as a real-world environment for the analysis of technical systems, organisational structures and data-driven decision-making under extreme conditions.

The platform combines scientific methods, interdisciplinary perspectives and practical experience to examine how technological innovation emerges, is validated and transferred within high-performance environments.

Research Areas

Mission

The mission of Racing Research is to analyse motorsport not as spectacle, but as a complex socio-technical system. The focus lies on understanding interactions between technology, organisation, human decision-making and environmental constraints.

Motorsport as an Innovation Driver

Motorsport has long served as a proof-of-concept environment for emerging automotive technologies. Under extreme conditions, new solutions are developed, tested and refined before entering broader industrial and societal contexts.

Racing Research examines this process critically, with particular attention to technological feasibility, transferability and long-term impact.
