Thank you Carbon Calculators
It has been a busy month for the Motorsport UK volunteers who assist clubs with the carbon footprint calculations and data collection on events. They do this by talking to spectators, competitors and teams, marshals and spectators as well as the venue to identify how they travelled to the event. They work closely with the club both pre, during and post event to collect any additional data needed for the calculator.
Daria and Alice at the Trackrod Rally Yorkshire
Ben supported Rali Ceredigion to measure their carbon emissions, Lowenna took two new local volunteers to the FIA Euro Final Drag Racing Championship to train them in how to use the carbon calculator, supported by Santa Pod Racers Club. Another volunteer received training at the All Wheel Drive Club Competitive Safari. Two further volunteers attended the Trackrod Yorkshire Rally, plus one volunteers also supported the Bushwhacker Rally virtually, assisting Omagh Motor Club to use the calculator.
Well done and thank you to everyone involved – keep up the good work!
FIA and Siemens collaborate to reduce emissions
The Fédération Internationale de l’ Automobile( FIA), has named Siemens Digital Industries Software as its official digital twin sponsor. The collaboration will see the FIA expand its use of Siemens’ Xcelerator software including the award-winning Designcenter NX software, which enables FIA engineers to create detailed digital models of race cars and simulate their performance in a virtual environment. The virtual-first approach plays a key role in shaping the technical regulations of singleseater categories, from Formula 1 to Formula 4.
By reducing the need for physical prototypes and wind tunnel testing, the FIA can lower its environmental impact and accelerate progress toward its goal to halve emissions by 2030. Since 2022, the FIA has used Siemens’ software to generate more than 14,000 computer aided design CAD parts in over 10,000 computational fluid dynamics( CFD) simulations.
