The Spartan Motorsport Performance Lab is looking for excellent graduate students looking to do meaningful work in this type of research.
Automobile racing is one of the largest spectator sports in the world yet there is less than 60 research articles ever published on the physiological stress of driving a race car. We are currently working with NASCAR, IndyCar, Formula 1 and IMSA racing teams to better understand the strain placed on drivers and pit crews during competition. Then using established training and nutrition programs we are already increasing both the performance and safety of these elite motorsport athletes.
Our research based pit crew training program reduced pit stop times by 1 second helping Stewart-Haas Racing win Championship.
Our data shows what aspects of physical fitness make the best Formula 1 drivers.
Our data on physical stressors of IMSA drivers identifies key fluid and nutrient replacement strategies needed for optimal performance.
