In the heat of a Formula E race, teams need fast access to insights that can help drivers make split-second decisions and cross the finish line first. Can your data-science skills help Envision Racing, one of the founding teams in the championship, take home even more trophies?
To do so, you will have to build a machine learning model that predicts the Envision Racing drivers’ lap times for the all-important qualifying sessions that determine what position they start the race in. Winning races involve a combination of both a driver’s skills and data analytics. To help the team you’ll need to consider several factors that affect performance during a session, including weather, track conditions, and a driver’s familiarity with the track.
Genpact, a leading professional services firm that focuses on digital transformation, is collaborating with Envision Racing, a Formula E racing team and digital hackathon platform MachineHack, a brainchild of Analytics India Magazine, is launching ‘Dare in Reality’.’ This two-week hackathon allows data science professionals, machine learning engineers, artificial intelligence practitioners, and other tech enthusiasts to showcase their skills, impress the judges, and stand a chance to win exciting cash prizes.
The FIA Formula E World Championship is the first fully electric international single-seater street racing series. Envision Racing uses digital technologies and human-centred design to stay ahead. As Envision Racing’s partner, Genpact uses data to deliver insights that help the team reach the podium and fulfil its purpose: to win the race against climate change.
Genpact Partners with the team to achieve three core goals: boosting the team’s racing performance, tackling the world’s biggest environmental challenge, and building and energizing a passionate, socially conscious fan base.
Starting on 8 November, the Dare in Reality Hackathon 2021 gives data professionals an exciting opportunity to prove their capabilities by pushing the envelope on innovation, technical prowess, and creativity. The participants will also stand a chance to win incredible cash prizes.
