In the world of motorsport, precision is paramount. Every detail, every measurement, and every decision on the track can make a decisive difference. That’s why we’re thrilled to announce that our OMS Race Sensor has been officially certified by the Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA) for use in Formula 1. This certification allows our technology to be implemented at the highest level of motorsport, supporting the performance of Formula 1 teams.
What Makes Sensoric Solutions’ Race Sensor So Special?
The OMS Race by Sensoric Solutions is a high-precision optical-inertial measurement system specifically designed to accurately capture dynamic driving parameters, such as speed, acceleration (X/Y/Z), and yaw, pitch, and roll angles. Building on the proven technology of the OMS 7, it has been miniaturized to an unprecedented form, focusing on weight reduction. By combining optical and inertial technologies, the sensor provides data with outstanding accuracy and reproducibility—crucial in motorsport, where every millisecond counts.
With a measurement frequency of 1000 Hz, the OMS Race Sensor provides precise real-time data, allowing teams to elevate vehicle dynamics to a new level. This comprehensive analysis of movements and angles, especially the yaw angle of a vehicle on the track, is essential for optimizing both aerodynamics and tire dynamics. This, in turn, ensures optimal tire strategy and the best possible grip.
The FIA Certification: A Mark of the Highest Standards
The FIA certification signifies that the OMS Race Sensor meets all the stringent standards and requirements for use in Formula 1. The FIA not only examines the accuracy and reliability of measurement devices but also assesses their safety and durability in extreme environments. This approval demonstrates that the OMS Race Sensor consistently delivers precise and reliable data, even under the most demanding conditions, meeting the high standards of Formula 1.
How Does the OMS Race Sensor Benefit Formula 1 Teams?
The precise and reliable measurements provided by the OMS Race Sensor are crucial in various areas of vehicle optimization:
- Traction Control and Corner Stability: By accurately capturing speeds and accelerations across different axes, teams can investigate and maximize vehicle traction and stability in corners.
- Tire Management and Wear Analysis: The precise measurement of the yaw angle enables teams to monitor and minimize tire wear, ensuring optimal performance.
- Aerodynamic Adjustments: The OMS Race Sensor’s real-time data helps engineers adapt aerodynamics to race conditions, achieving maximum efficiency.
- Driver Performance Improvement: The data provided by our sensor can also be used to analyze and optimize driving techniques, offering valuable advantages in extreme race situations.
A Step Toward the Future of Motorsport
With FIA certification, Sensoric Solutions’ OMS Race Sensor is now approved for use in Formula 1—a milestone for us and a valuable tool for all teams seeking that decisive advantage. This recognition confirms the innovation and quality of our technology and highlights our commitment to supporting racing teams with highly accurate, reliable sensor solutions. We look forward to advancing motorsport and helping Formula 1 teams set new standards in speed, efficiency, and performance.
