SailGP Insights bring fans onboard F50

SailGP has launched a new online dashboard which provides fans with vast amounts of data from the identical hydrofoiling F50 catamarans that feature in the purpose-led, global racing league. Called SailGP Insights, the platform complements SailGP’s broadcast partners’ coverage, enabling fans to access in-depth information about the racing while watching the live event feed.

The system tracks every race for fans to follow all eight teams on the dashboard to discover and understand key in-race statistics and incidents, with all the data pulled from the boats in real-time. SailGP Insights is powered by Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), delivering real-time data to fans worldwide – as well as the eight teams themselves and SailGP’s broadcast partners.

SailGP Insights will be available for the very first time at the Australia Sail Grand Prix presented by KPMG, to be held in Sydney on December 17 and 18.

Over 30,000 data points come out of an F50, ranging from the typical race information on a boat’s position, time and current leg, to more in depth technical data to enable fans to get insights on the complexities of the hydrofoiling F50.

Additionally, information on ride height and ride time – key indicators of how well the F50s are being sailed by SailGP’s world-class athletes – will also be available, as well as the current boat speed in real-time and the maximum speed of each boat during a specific race.

The direction of each boat and the live wind speed are also shown on the dashboard. Away from the specific boat data, fans will also be provided with alerts of key race incidents. From Season 3, SailGP Insights will also display wingsail data, rudder differential data and foil pitch movement.
