Manage motor sport data

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: March 2024


This unit describes the performance outcomes required to configure a data acquisition system, and analyse and present motor sport data. It involves preparing for the task, analysing data requirements, configuring an electronic system, and retrieving, analysing and presenting data in various forms, including charts, graphs, tables, comparisons and reports. The data may be related to weather, circuit, driver or rider characteristics, system capability, and vehicle design specifications.

It applies to those working in the motor sport industry.

No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)

Before competency can be determined, individuals must demonstrate they can perform the following according to the standards defined in this unit’s elements, performance criteria, range of conditions and foundation skills:

configure data acquisition process for each of the following types of motor sport data on two occasions:

vehicle data

weather data

circuit data

driver or rider characteristics

acquire, analyse and present above acquired data.

Individuals must be able to demonstrate knowledge of:

work health and safety (WHS) and occupational health and safety (OHS) requirements relating to collecting and logging motor sport data, including procedures for identifying hazards and managing risks

types of motor sport data sources, including vehicle, weather, circuit and driver or rider

motor sport data acquisition systems, including:

types, characteristics, components, uses and limitations of signal devices and sensors

methods for determining component rates and ratios

configuration, inspection and system checks of data acquisition systems

operation of data acquisition systems and inputting of variables

data retrieval processes and techniques

data analysis principles, techniques and methodology, including associated mathematical formulas

types of statistical representations of motor sport data, including vehicle, weather, circuit, and driver or rider

data security and confidentiality procedures

data acquisition system inspection, maintenance and system check procedures, including data acquisition system fault diagnosis.

Assessors must satisfy NVR/AQTF assessor requirements.

Competency is to be assessed in the workplace or a simulated environment that accurately reflects performance in a real workplace setting.

Assessment must include direct observation of tasks.

Where assessment of competency includes third-party evidence, individuals must provide evidence that links them to having managed motor sport data, e.g. analysis reports.

Assessors must verify performance evidence through questioning on skills and knowledge to ensure correct interpretation and application.

The following resources must be made available:

motor sport vehicle

motor sport data acquisition system

motor sport data analysis software.
