GoPro (Forcite)

· July 1, 2024 ·

Founded in 2013 following a motorcycle accident involving Cofounder and CEO Alfred Boyadgis, Forcite aims to provide a safer, more dynamic riding experience with the Forcite MK1S tech-enabled motorcycle helmet. 

After a decade of successful product sales and development, Forcite Helmet Systems was acquired by GoPro, Inc. in early 2024. 

GoPro plans to leverage its global market presence – particularly in motorsports – and technical capabilities, in combination with Forcite’s expertise in tech-enabled helmets to bring enhanced performance and safety to various types of helmets, starting with motorcycle helmets. GoPro also intends to partner with leading helmet brands as an OEM supplier to help them tech-enable their own premium helmet lines.

GoPro’s involvement in the Australian Motorsport Innovation Precinct at Sydney Motorsport Park provides an exciting location to test new technologies.

AGI Sport takes on the world!

· December 11, 2023 ·

A familiar site on-track, and now too at the AMIP complex at SMSP, is legendary race team operator, Adam Gotch, and his crew from AGI Sport. On top of competing at the highest level in several race categories, AGI Sport also mentors and develops the next generation of Australia’s racing talent, including F4 wunderkind, Jack Beeton.

In recent competitions, AGI Sport and Jack have dominated the field, picking up wins in the first and third races of the South East Asian F4 Championship in Sepang, as well as challenging academy drivers from the likes of Red Bull and Prema Racing at the Macau F4 Grand Prix.

To give an indication of the depth of talent Jack and AGI Sport are taking the fight to, to quote Adam himself, “Prema Racing from Italy is considered the most successful junior single seater team in the world and regularly win championships in F2, F3, and F4. They are heavily tied to Ferrari F1 but also run most of the F1 Academy drivers for Red Bull, Mercedes, McLaren and of course Ferrari.”

In the Feature Race at Macau, Jack was only cruelled a spot on the podium by a safety car in the final laps; still coming in fourth and much to the delight of his team. This, just mere hours before AGI Sport race engineers worked through the night to thanks to a broken chassis in practise.

Adam summed things up perfectly:

“Considering where we were on Saturday morning with a broken chassis, we were excited to be P4 in the main race. With only 3 Prema cars in front of us, we were ahead of two French cars, and well ahead of all the Asian teams,” Adam explained.

“What I was personally most excited about was that we took the fight to the biggest team in Europe, Prema Racing. A great result!”

Congratulations to Adam, Jack and the AGI Sport team, we can’t wait to see where this amazing partnership will lead to next!

UNSW Sunswift Solar Racing Team Wins World Solar Championship

· December 11, 2023 ·

UNSW Sydney’s student-built Sunswift 7 solar-powered car has been declared the winner of the Bridgestone World Solar Challenge in the Cruiser Class.  It is the first time an Australian car has won the Cruiser Class category in the World Solar Challenge since it was first introduced back in 2015.

The team, led by former Red Bull F1 Chief of Operations and AMIP’s inaugural ambassador, Professor Richard Hopkins, was dominantly leading the points classification on day four of the 3600km race from Darwin to Adelaide, before weather conditions threw the competition into disarray.

Up until fierce winds drew the unfortunate conclusion to the on-road race, Sunswift was significantly ahead on points throughout the competition thanks largely to its high rating for ‘person kilometres travelled’, boosted by carrying three passengers as well as its driver, as well as being ahead of the other Cruiser cars in each completed stage.

Still, the team still had to wait until a final scrutineering session on Saturday when a panel of judges gave an additional score to each car based on criteria such as design innovation, environmental impact, ease of access and egress, occupant space and comfort, ease of operation (driving and charging), versatility, and style and desirability.

Following all calculations, Sunswift finished top of the rankings with a total score of 91.1 points to claim the trophy, lightyears ahead of the University of Minnesota in second place on 22.4, with Team Solaride from Estonia finishing third with 14.7.

Sunswift 7 already holds a Guinness World Record after completing 1000km on a single charge in under 12 hours in December 2022.

Sunswift Racing team principal, Professor of Practice Richard Hopkins, said: “I could not be more proud of this team for what they have achieved.

“The work the students have done is simply amazing and I can only say positive things because they have been so focused and committed and professional.

In a recent cover story profile for MTA Magazine, Richard shared his unique perspective on working with budding engineers.

“The beautiful thing about working with students is that nobody tells them they can’t do it. They wake up in the morning with an idea, and all they need is a bit of support and guidance to get them to where they want to go; and I’m someone who never says no to a great,” he told MTA.

While speaking on the AMIP facility and his ambassador role, Richard described it as the ‘Tinder of motorsport’ – and does see a common thread between his work with students, race teams and the ARDC:

“I think [in Australia] there is the passion, there just isn’t necessarily the opportunities –it’s about joining the dots. It’s there –we just need to stoke the fire a little bit.”
