Mission Control Pad

The crew chief's data system, in the car and on the pit box.

The Pad records the session, shows the driver the track, and gives the crew the numbers to make setup decisions in seconds.

Built on 35 years at the track crewchiefsteve.com

Mission Control Pad mounted on the roll cage of a race car in the Brickyard garage at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, its screen armed with the road course map, while co-founder Nick works on a car in the background

Drive

In the car. The Pad shows the driver the track — the map, the corners, the cues — and records the session as it happens.

Analyze

After the run. Lap times, speed traces, and lap-to-lap comparisons on the same screen that recorded them.

Pit box

Handheld tire pressure and temperature tools sync to the Pad after a run. Engineering decisions in seconds — legal in practice and after pit stops.
