The problem

Race strategy is not always about the fastest race time – the optimum plan.

It is about knowing when to deviate from it.

Strategists are accounting for factors outside their control including rival tactics and race-control events. Many decisions are made inside short windows where points can be won or lost by acting too early, too late, or not at all.

The solution: Adaptive race strategy

Track strategic options and adapt during the race.

Review live projections. Compare strategic options. Adapt your plan.

Three calls. One workflow.

Hold the plan. Change the plan. Respond on demand.

Each lap, SwitchPad™ compares your options and identifies when the optimum plan should hold or change. When it needs to change, it becomes an adaptive plan.

Hold the plan

Confirm the optimum plan still holds under live tyre, traffic, rival, and race-control conditions – so you adjust ahead of time, not in a hurry.

Change the plan

When a scenario shifts enough to justify a different call, the optimum plan becomes an adaptive one – changed early, while the window is still open.

Respond on demand

When something outside your control happens – a safety car, a rival's stop, a change in conditions – act the instant it does, with the response already prepared.

Answer the critical questions

Should we stop?Should we cover?Can we extend?Is traffic changing the plan?How critical is this next overtake?Has race control opened an opportunity?Does the optimum plan still hold?

The scenario engine

Different series. Same scenario engine.

Adaptive strategy formulation is built around a common set of decision levers. Rather than creating separate models for every championship, SwitchPad™ organises race strategy into five modelling groups that can be configured for different series.

The result is a consistent decision-analysis framework that can support Formula 1, Formula E, Formula 2, IndyCar, WEC, GT racing, Supercars, and Super Formula.

Why SIG ML

SIG ML specialises in decision-support systems for complex engineering operations. We build software tools and provide engineering support – to validate, configure, and implement adaptive decision-analysis workflows.

Make it your own

Validate. Connect. Apply.

SwitchPad™ is adaptive strategy software you run on your terms – on your data, your infrastructure. We maintain the platform; the strategy stays yours.

Prove the software in your own environment against your past race data — before any live integration.

Adaptive strategy

Validated vs past races

Modelling groups that leverage advanced analytics and ML run on our ML Core inference, supporting common ML libraries (e.g. scikit-learn, TensorFlow, PyTorch). Representative architecture — configured to specific series and deployment (on-premise or cloud).
