Abstract

Car racing at a high level is a physically and mentally intensive sport. Despite the fact that a large number of variables are measured on the car during racing, nothing is measured on the driver. It is well known that to achieve peak performance in competitive sports it is important that the athlete is at their peak both physically and mentally. The objective of this work is to monitor the mental state of the driver in real-time and provide this information to the pit crew. A number of interesting cases are presented that show the potential of real-time stress monitoring in race car driving as a means for driver performance optimisation and as a means to reduce accidents.
