But its importance stretches beyond the pursuit of victory. The real-time link between the cars on track and the banks of computer screens scrutinised by the teams and race officials has a part to play in ensuring that the racing is both safe and fair. Nowhere is that more the case than in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship.
Each and every car in the field, both the LMDhs competing in the GTP class and, from this season, the GT3 machinery that makes up the two GT Daytona categories, carries an important piece of equipment supplied by Bosch Motorsport. Its LTE 65 4G-based real-time telemetry system is the conduit through which the sensor-laden modern racing car sends information back to the pits and up to race control.
