Track operators worldwide face constant pressure to manage complex racetrack environments, where even minor oversights can lead to catastrophic consequences. The motorsport industry, though significantly safer due to advances like the Halo and TecPro barrier technologies, still suffers from fundamental challenges related to track infrastructure. With decentralized asset management, paper-based records and inconsistent maintenance schedules, these issues can quickly escalate, compromising safety and operational efficiency and inflating costs. TrackWalk was developed by motorsport professionals to address these exact challenges, transforming how racetracks operate.

The Challenges Track Operators Face

Despite the innovations spearheaded by tracks, suppliers and governing bodies, the risk in motorsport isn't confined to drivers alone. Poor track maintenance, disjointed workflows and inefficient data handling can endanger spectators, officials and teams.

Real-world incidents highlight these dangers: in the past two years alone fans have witnessed cars crash into grandstands, loose manhole covers halt racing and more. Such preventable issues underscore a dire need for a system that centralizes information, enforces rigorous inspection standards and optimizes maintenance.

TrackWalk is designed to do precisely this.

Operational Efficiency

At the heart of TrackWalk's efficiency solutions is its centralized asset management system. Racetrack operators gain access to a cloud-based, comprehensive digital record of every asset and even the condition of the asphalt itself.

Instead of relying on paper records stored in various locations, operators can now view and update the status of assets instantly. By automating workflows and standardizing processes, TrackWalk reduces administrative burdens, freeing up resources for crucial trackside activities. This means faster decision-making and response times, helping teams to act swiftly when an issue arises​​.

For example, by incorporating automated, pre-defined inspection protocols, operators spend less time managing paperwork and more on proactive safety measures. The system's intuitive interface allows for seamless coordination, reducing human error and ensuring that all tasks, from inspections to repairs, are handled with precision. These efficiencies don't just save time but also significantly minimize the risk of errors that can lead to costly repairs or hazardous situations​​.

Enhanced Safety Standards

Safety is non-negotiable in motorsport, and TrackWalk elevates safety protocols to a new level. The platform ensures standardized survey and inspection protocols, ensuring every asset is scrutinized with the same rigor, regardless of the operator.

Consistency is crucial in minimizing risks, as irregular or subjective inspections leave room for critical safety gaps. Furthermore, TrackWalk's detailed, auditable incident reporting builds a comprehensive safety record, ensuring accountability and preventing recurring problems​​.

Cost Savings and Financial Protection

Racetrack maintenance isn't just a matter of safety; it's a financial imperative. TrackWalk introduces cost-effective maintenance scheduling by leveraging data analytics in conjunction with site survey data to suggest optimal repair and upgrade intervals. This strategic planning extends the life of track assets and curtails expenses. By reducing emergency fixes, operators avoid the financial strain of unplanned shutdowns and high repair costs, leading to better budget management​​​.

Moreover, TrackWalk provides a substantial shield against potential legal liabilities. The platform's detailed asset and incident histories create a reliable evidence trail, demonstrating due diligence and adherence to safety regulations. In the event of an incident, having comprehensive, easily accessible records minimizes the risk of costly legal battles. Operators can not only prove that inspections were conducted properly but also illustrate a history of proactive safety management​​.

"TrackWalk allows us and our customers to manage their circuits as efficiently and effectively as possible. The application ensures that there is accurate real-time data on the condition of the asphalt and the trackside infrastructure, it supports the homologation process and allows facility management teams to forecast and schedule crucial maintenance whilst minimizing disruption."
