On January 12, a series of earthquakes with magnitudes ranging from 6.5 to 7.3 devastated Haiti. The American Red Cross is working with its partners in the global Red Cross and Red Crescent network, including the Haitian Red Cross, and other partners to assist those affected by this disaster.

Gorman Motorsports has donated to American Red Cross to help those who suffer from the recent earthquake in Haiti. If you would like to also contribute, click here. Every dollar counts.

Announced at SEMA, the new Chasecam DIVA (Data Integrated Video Acquisition) promises to usher in a new phase of data acquisition. In the last year we have seen the various video technologies merge with data logging. The idea is video is just another (albeit more challenging to log) channel. So devices set up for video logging can be augmented to add data channels. Chasecam didn’t stop at adding data logging to the new recorder, they added all sorts of features to move the unit to the top of the heap in terms of features. With four video camera channels, a video display, and automatically sync’d video and data, the DIVA has all the great existing features we love like the RJ-45 jack for external control of the unit. We can’t wait to get our hands on a DIVA, and as soon as we do expect a complete review.

Prey Racing has chosen Gorman Motorsports to be it’s data acquisition partner for 2010. Gorman Motorsports will be providing it’s Pro Services package to the team to help with all aspects of the data acquisition system and data analysis. Team Owner and Driver, Chris Prey comments;

After working together at the 3 Grand-Am Continental Sports Car Challenge events Prey Racing contested in 2009, it was a no brainer that the team would again choose Gorman Motorsports for its data acquisition support in the squads “run for the front” campaign this 2010 season. We originally contacted Gorman Motorsports because of their deep knowledge and expertise integrating with Porsche cars. Since that time, it has become obvious this is an understatement. They’ve clearly helped make our #86 Boxster a tool of information that we can consistently use to move our development forward at the pro level. I’d recommend them to anybody trying to advance their program, knowledge of car, and speed at any level.

I just got back from Daytona International Speedway. I was there for the 2010 Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge January Test Days, supporting the #86 Prey Racing ST Boxster effort. What a weekend, the car is showing some serious speed with Chris Prey and Gene Sigal at the wheel. Gorman Motorsports provided consulting services, AiM equipment, installation and configuration. We upgraded the car with the new SmartyCam from AiM as well as new sensors and configs for the 2010 season. The weather was awfully cold with snow one day! We worked through the cold and turned some hot laps. We hope for great results from the Prey Racing team for the race weekend.
