The Porsche Cup Now Offers a New Real-Time Telemetry System That Will Transmit Car Data to Teams; Check Out How It Works.
Microsoft has revealed an innovation in the field of advanced telemetry that will be implemented in the next stage of the Porsche Cup, scheduled to take place in São Paulo this Saturday (18). With this feature, competing teams will have real-time access to detailed data from the cars, allowing for immediate identification and correction of issues, as well as providing support to the drivers.
The project, developed in collaboration with the Big Data consulting firm, BlueShift, involves the collection of telemetry data from the Porsche Cup cars, which will be stored on Microsoft Azure, the cloud platform of the tech giant.
Details such as braking time, suspension travel, steering angle, fuel level, lap time, and tire pressure will be captured in real time and transmitted to the Porsche Cup teams via an encrypted 4G network. With access to this data, teams will be in a position to make immediate decisions or make necessary adjustments to the cars.

Check engine light on and car running fine? Understand when it’s okay to drive for a few days, why the fuel can confuse the system, and when the warning goes from simple to a case for the workshop.

A 1953 Fusca that almost no one knows exists can be auctioned for R$ 570,000 in Brazil, and the reason it is worth so much money surprises even experienced collectors.

With 1,900 horsepower, 2,300 Nm of torque, and acceleration from 0 to 100 in less than 2 seconds, the Italian electric hypercar Pininfarina Battista costs 2 million euros — and only 150 will be produced worldwide.

Costing around R$ 100,000: Chevrolet SUV equipped with a 1.2 turbo engine with 133 hp, six airbags, panoramic sunroof, and ABS brakes with EBD can be a good option for a used car; learn more about the 2020 Chevrolet Tracker Premier.
Each vehicle in the competition will be equipped with an IoT device provided by Microsoft’s partner, Ituran, connected to a private and secure network. Communication occurs via induction and does not interfere with the vehicle’s structure or weight. Diagnostics can be performed and, if necessary, relayed to the driver via radio.
Previously, telemetry data was collected through cables connected directly to the cars, a process that could take up to 30 minutes and required the vehicle to stop in the pits. Now, Microsoft’s system allows for information to be obtained much more quickly, eliminating the need for engineers and technicians to move around.
With all Porsche Cup cars being identical, the competition becomes a matter of adjustments and strategy on the part of the drivers and teams. The ability to gain fractions of a second through track adjustments becomes crucial.
With the arrival of 5G, the accuracy and speed of the system will be even greater, allowing for the activation of safety systems in critical situations.
The new advanced telemetry technology will be implemented in the next stage of the Porsche Cup, scheduled for Saturday, November 18, at the Interlagos Racetrack in São Paulo. Renowned drivers such as Bia Figueiredo, Rubens Barrichello, Max Wilson, and Ricardo Zonta will be present on the starting grid.
