John, also known as the ‘Morecambe Missile’, is a legend in the motorcycle racing world with a distinguished 25-year history in motorcycle racing, and is a 21-time winner at the famous Isle of Man TT races.
At the Circuit Monteblanco in Spain, EMC captured over 700,000 rows of performance, biometric and mechanical data from sensors fitted on the racing suits and bikes of both John and a control subject, Adam “Chad” Child, Senior Road Tester with Motor Cycle News. Engine RPM, lean angle, g-force, pulse and respiration were some of the variables that were measured moment by moment during the race, to assist uncover exactly how the rider interfaced with machine.
The competition offered a broad range of insights into John McGuinness’ racing style. The winner of the data analytics competition, Stefan Jol of a leading UK radio group split up each element of the track for analysis. This allowed them to be assessed and, like any business process, the data identified which stages had the most impact on overall performance. As a result a bike can be set up for the most important elements of the track, and the information can guide the rider on where best to focus.
The winner of the visualization piece, Charlotte Wickham, assistant Professor of Statistics at Oregon State University, made the relative performance of each rider more apparent to the non-data scientist. By displaying them on the track, the difference in cornering was made very clear. While one entered the corner faster, this didn’t equate to a fast exit. John McGuinness braked harder, taking a better line, which in turn allowed him to accelerate quicker and exit at a faster speed.
