Analysing motor racing performance
This resource from the IET Faraday programme, supported by MEI and Tomorrow's Engineers, provides students the opportunity to explore information generated from a motor race.
"Modern data analysis techniques can be used to provide ongoing performance analysis of the vehicles in a motor race. However, even the most sophisticated of data analysis systems will only tell part of the story, they will often identify an issue, but will rarely provide a solution unless it is relatively simple. Additional expert input is normally required to interpret data and find solutions to problems."
The resources include a presentation that includes a speed-distance graph and a series of questions for students to explore. The teaching guide includes additional questions and discussion points, extension activity suggestions, answers and details of the curriculum content covered.
