Circuit Engineering have a big role in new circuit design liaising with track designers and architects’ years in advance of the event to ensure F1 systems will be able to be deployed efficiently and safely for the race.
They also survey each Formula One circuit, primarily using GPS, collecting, and continually updating topographical data used as the foundation to the F1 timing systems and to create the digital circuit maps given to the media and other 3rd parties to show key timing data. This information is also used to produce the detailed drawings that FOM uses internally for event and rig planning and provide track topography for the F1 Video game.
Formula One is committed to reducing the impact of its operations on the environment, and the Circuit Engineering team are involved in many exciting projects, working with Promoters and key stakeholders to work towards our Net Zero Carbon by 2030.
