UNSW Redback Racing

· August 16, 2022 ·

Redback Racing is a student project from the University of New South Wales, Sydney. Their vision is to educate students beyond the classroom so that they can take their theoretical knowledge in engineering design and analysis, and business operations to apply it to the real world in the Formula SAE-A Competition.

Each year, Redback works to design, manufacture and race its newest vehicle – optimizing on its previous designs. The team take on the challenge of bringing ideas to life as we work throughout the year – manufacturing and testing each aspect of its cars.  

At the end the year, the vehicle performs against other universities, both international and domestic, to learn from one another and improve their engineering and business skills. The teams take part in various events that challenge decisions on the design of the car, including static examinations alongside dynamic performances.  

As such, Redback takes pride in the team’s commitment to the pursuit of engineering excellence as they take on the challenge of bringing their work to life.  

“Working together with students from a variety of backgrounds and degrees, academics, and people of industry to design, manufacture and race an open-wheeled style race car in an internationally held competition such as Formula SAE has provided me with knowledge and skills that I will take with me throughout the rest of my career. I am living the dream being part of this motorsports team, a student project that has elevated my learning and engineering degree at UNSW to another level” 
– Evan Favos, Treasurer 2022, Team Lead 2021.

ARDC AND PMY GROUP PARTNER TO DEVELOP AUSTRALIA’S NEXT GENERATION MOTORSPORT PRECINCT

· June 28, 2022 ·

28/06/21: Sydney Motorsport Park (SMSP) in Eastern Creek, NSW already sits on pole position as Australia’s only ‘365’ motor racing circuit under permanent LED lighting; now, a new partnership with leading global technology experts PMY Group (PMY) will further drive the motorsport complex into the future with a multi-million-dollar technology transformation.

Operators of the Government-owned racing circuit, the Australian Racing Drivers’ Club (ARDC), has entered into a 10-year investment partnership with PMY, which has invested $4 million into a new and exciting in-venue digital experience project, believed to be the first of its kind in the Asia-Pacific region.

The FIA Grade 2 Circuit, one of only two in the country, will now be lit night and day by state-of the-art LED displays and integrated television and lighting systems. Features such as a giant 45sqm welcome screen, four 12sqm double sided elevated cantilever LED boards, and 144m of pit straight LED screens facing Brabham Straight will be a game changer in the motorsport sphere, enhancing the on-track atmosphere for visitors and driving powerful exposure and engagement for brands direct to live in-venue and broadcast audiences.

In addition to the show stopping LED, PMY Group’s Smart Operating Platform (Platform) will be deployed at SMSP to provide an operational and crowd intelligence solution. Powered by Intel back-end technologies, PMY’s Platform converges technologies, enabling venue management to monitor technology, analyse data, automate communications and operations, and predict future crowd behaviours.

PMY’s Managing Director Paul Yeomans said: “PMY is thrilled to partner with the ARDC to deliver what we expect to be a game changer at SMSP and in the world of motorsport. Our world-class technology solution is focused on enhancing the race day experience through high-impact engagement concepts, dynamic brand, content and sponsor integrations and the latest in venue centric operational intelligence. We can’t wait to see it in action.”

The PMY/ARDC partnership compliments the recent multi-million investment into SMSP by the NSW Government in 2019 which aims to transform the metropolitan motorsport complex into the ‘Silverstone of the southern hemisphere’.

The ARDC’s CEO Glenn Matthews said: “This partnership with PMY not only benefits motorsport; but a broad range of stakeholders in motorsport including local business and tourism, driver training, on-site engineering and education, and much more. Our offering will now stack up against the world’s best, being the only Australian racetrack with permanent lighting and being able to offer 24/7 unique and engaging event opportunities.”

SMSP now also welcomes LG Electronics as its Official Consumer Electronics partner with LG supplying the LED displays required for the project.

“At LG Australia, we are extremely excited to be providing the latest in Information Display technology to SMSP as part of the future vision for this iconic motorsport location. The inclusion of LG’s digital outdoor screens in the venue will give visitors a greatly enhanced entertainment experience. We are confident motorsport fans will love the parks new look and be eager to attend even more events in the future,” said Brad Reed, Head of Marketing – B2B Solutions at LG Electronics Australia.

Works are expected to be completed in time for one of SMSP’s hallmark events, the Repco Supercars Championship Sydney SuperNight on August 22.

Supercars CEO Sean Seamer said: “SMSP is a world-class motorsport facility, and this new technology offering will take the fan experience at the Sydney SuperNight event to another level for our fans at the venue, along with the millions of viewers around the world who watch the event every year.”

The entertainment never stops at SMSP and this technology transformation investment partnership supports both PMY’s and the ARDC’s vision to transform major venues, infrastructure and events through technology and to create a global leading in-venue experience for motorsport competitors and enthusiasts respectively.

The Australian Motor Heritage Foundation

· May 24, 2022 ·

The Australian Motor Heritage Foundation (AMHF) is a not-for-profit national foundation that is dedicated to preserving motoring heritage in all its forms including cars, motorcycles, heavy vehicles, and aircraft. We are a proud partner of the ARDC and are excited to be associated with and located adjacent to the new Australian Motorsport Innovation Precinct at Sydney Motorsport Park.

AMHF detects, collects, preserves, and catalogs a wide range of motoring reference material including thousands of books, magazines, photographs and film, race programmes and results, technical data, brochures, oral history, artwork and other reference material going back to the turn of the 20th century. Much of this information is rare and irreplaceable. A relational database and digitization of this material is well underway so that it can be accessed for research and educational purposes by all involved in the motoring sector including enthusiasts, Schools, Colleges, Universities, commercial enterprises, and the general public.

Our foundation is manned by a loyal and enthusiastic group of Volunteers from varied backgrounds who have detailed expertise in many areas of our motoring heritage. Many of our Volunteers are members of other car and motorcycle clubs and some are active competitors in historic and other car and motorcycle racing. We are here to help and encourage the ongoing interests of members of all clubs and other motoring enthusiasts of all ages across Australia with information and advice.

“The Australian Motor Heritage Foundation provides a special, accessible way to see and understand the way Australians have over the last 120+ years always been innovators and leaders in the development of motoring and aviation, allowing the opening up our vast country, providing employment, economic growth and enjoyment. Those innovators of the past have been an essential part of our national genius in which we can be very proud.  They took risks and made it possible for us to develop Australia and allow us to achieve the standard of living we enjoy.  Our new innovators are embracing the exciting future as they build on the heritage of enterprise of the past which AMHF strives to preserve and make available to all.”
– Hugh King (Chairman AMHF)
