THE CHALLENGE
Detecting Strategy Shifts Ahead of Competitors
Race strategists bring deep expertise to the planning, simulation, and execution of race strategy.
The challenge is, the optimal strategy can shift at any moment. Tyre performance, pit timing, tyre phase transitions, compound selection, energy deployment, and traffic management all depend on rapidly changing race dynamics. A strategy teams advantage comes from recognising these shifts before their competitors.
SOLUTION
A platform built for modern race strategy
Track, predict, and optimize every decision as the race evolves.
Nexgineer™ Strategy Optimizer transforms pre-race simulations into real-time, multi-stage strategy decisions. It links tyre models, traffic evolution, pit windows, energy management, and competitor behaviour into a single predictive, optimisation-driven workflow.
Better Strategy Calls, Faster
Real-time evaluation of alternatives using predictive models, simulations, and live telemetry – so teams can act earlier than competitors and execute the optimal decision at exactly the right moment.
Reduce Manual Effort
A structured, multi-stage workflow that transforms tyres, traffic, energy, pit windows, and competitor behaviour into coordinated strategy decisions – reducing ad-hoc analysis and improving decision consistency.
Track, Assess, Improve
Your strategy decision-making framework becomes systematic, defensible, and explainable across drivers and conditions.
HOW STRATEGY OPTIMIZER WORKS
Combine physics, AI, and optimization into a real-time decision analysis
1
Start with Pre-Race Strategy Baselines
Use Monte Carlo simulations, RL methods, and tyre models to define Plan A/B/C, expected stint lengths, pit windows, competitor archetypes, and scenario boundaries. Strategy Optimizer uses these as the baseline.
2
Update Predictions Every Lap
As the race evolves, the system forecasts pace trends, degradation, traffic impacts, pit-loss sensitivities, safety car impacts, and competitor behaviour. It then evaluates pre-defined scenarios for potential deviations.
3
Evaluate the Next Best Decision
Strategy Optimizer recommends optimal number of pit stops, stop timing, energy management and overtaking timing. This gives teams the ability to determine when to pit, extend, defend, or offset.
4
Execute with Confidence
Every recommendation is tied to race-level objectives, uncertainty bounds, and timing windows. The tool helps teams coordinate decisions across pit wall, strategy engineers, and vehicle performance groups.
