Hey guys, wanted to share a little sometnig my team is working on.

Were a little startup based in central europe and are all ex Formula student members. Currently one of the topics our team is working on is building a thermal tyre model that computes surface tyre temperature without any temperature sensors mounted on the wheels or the wheel arches.

This is our first working version V1, its is just a 1D model and you can see how it compares to real surface temperature data. All logged from a GT3 race car.

Thought this might be interesting for some of you.

Hi Everybody

RaceVault is a non-profit collaborative community for motorsports fans to collect the ever changing story of the sport we love together.

We launched a few months ago and have steadily been growing, but we have now officially gone live and anybody interested can sign up through the below link to receive our bespoke racing trading card directly to your door!

Existing trading cards focus heavily on F1, but they don’t cover the wide variety of other diverse and incredible championships out there. RaceVault is for fans of F1, Indycar, Formula E, WEC, DTM, GT World Challenge, Formula 2 and 3 and much more!

What you get by joining RaceVault

- Monthly drops of exclusive cards delivered to you. These include driver cards, circuit cards, iconic liveries, historic moments or achievements, special editions and anniversary cards covering the story of racing together.

- Joining a community that is entirely shaped by its members and what you want to see. This includes opportunities to take part in fan votes, shape the direction of the collection and even get involved in designing cards.

I’ve attached some of the hard copy demos that we have created, but expect around 200 cards from the 2026 season. This will include all the drivers from the F1, Indycar, Formula E and WEC Hypercar grids as well as a wide variety of other series.

The group is going to start small at 50 passionate members, so places are limited! We operate a not for profit model with a small monthly donation for those who wish to do so, as it is very much a collaborative project for the fans, by the fans

If that interests you then please check us out on r/RaceVault or secure your spot directly through the below link. Places are expected to go fast so don’t miss out 🙂

The entry list for the Suzuka 1000km, the next round of the IGTC, has sadly been unveiled, revealing a disappointing lack of Pro entries for BMW.

Instead, fans will have to settle for four BMW M4 GT3 EVOs fighting in the lower classes: the No. 5 Team Studie (Yamaguchi/Hirota/Ara), the No. 69 WRT (McIntosh/Thompson/Harper), and the No. 89 Team KRC (Ruan/Oosten/Hesse) are relegated to the Bronze category, while Team KRC’s second car, the No. 10 (Lee/Farfus/Tomasoni), is left isolated in Pro-Am.

I follow F1 and a lot of other racing series, and I kept having the same problem every weekend: figuring out what was actually being streamed and where.

There are tons of free broadcasts out there, especially for smaller championships, but they're scattered across different YouTube channels, series websites and organizers.

So I built a site that puts them together.

It shows what's live right now, what's scheduled for the next few days, and recent replays.

It's completely free. No subscription or paywall.

I'm still adding more series and channels, so I'd love to know what I'm missing, especially from people here who also follow F2, F3 or other motorsport outside F1.

TL;DR: I built a free site that collects live and upcoming motorsport streams in one place. Link in the comments.

Enjoy !

Any questions? If you want i can give you a tutorial to get most part of the Apps

Enjoy !

Yes I know the car was a glorified Oreca 07 but I still thought it was the coolest Lmdh on the grid from the front headlights to the sharp angled rear brake cooling ducts, always fighting near the front. It’s a shame that HRC can’t continue to support the car. I’m still holding out hope an Asian Le Mans series privateer may run the car.

Edit: if anyone has cool stories about car or the team i would love to hear about them in the comments

Enjoy !

Solid day overall at the track! The day started out SUPER foggy, Cappy couldn't even see the Sargento Bridge from our upper paddock spot, but it quickly burned off as the sun rose! Our driver made noticeable progress in both test sessions today, finding time and dialing things in.

Huge shoutout to the team chef, keeping the crew well-fed under the awning makes a world of difference during these long track days.

Tomorrow is another Porsche-only schedule: one final test session in the morning, followed by official practice in the afternoon.

Check out a few shots from pit lane, the setup, today's lunch spread AND OF COURSE CAPPY! Sorry but I forgot to take pictures of our dinner 😂 🏁🏎️

If you have any interesting questions about PSCNA or Mustang Cup, post them here and I'll try to get you answers tomorrow!
