MyRaceLab is a brand new racing technology application built across desktop and mobile applications that aggregates a range of common data sources, such as engine management systems, chronometric data, spatial tracking via GPS and video footage. Up till now a lot of these data sources were hard to make sense of, let alone understand how it could make you a better race driver.
The data-driven insights help drivers identify areas for improvement and optimise their race strategy. Continuous and incremental improvements come from analysing performance and give drivers actionable technique recommendations. MyRaceLab enables a continuous refinement of driving skills and the ability to more safely push the limits.
As a start up, MyRaceLab was being built from the ground up. Extensive customer interviews provided a solid product development pathway, and our first task was to develop a workable but flexible brand strategy, based on understanding customer needs.
The idea was MyRaceLab was literally putting elite race team technology into drivers’ hands. Incremental improvements in cornering, race-lines could get drivers podium finishes.
The brand needed to immediately say ʻrace technologyʻ and the sentiment we built the brand around was ʻGiving drivers a win everyday’; the sense that any improvement, no matter how incremental, felt like a win.
Beyond the new brand signature, we helped MyRaceLab develop the assets for the application UI, and also their new voice in visual expression and communications.
It’s not kilometres per hour that can win the race, but millimetres.
If you’re not racing, you’re not winning.
Remember that happiness isn’t around the corner, it is the corner.
