PREMA Racing partners with Monolith to boost IndyCar performance
PREMA Racing aim to improve their on-track performance in the NTT IndyCar Series after teaming with AI software specialist Monolith.
As development partner to PREMA Racing, London headquartered Monolith will apply its proprietary AI technology to produce bespoke models for the PREMA Racing engineering team, enabling it to use new, highly efficient channels for unlocking on-track performance.
PREMA Racing’s engineering teams will utilise Monolith to implement customised aerodynamic maps and virtual sensors, with trackside anomaly detection validating data as it’s gathered on the circuit.
Monolith said its suite of machine learning solutions will provide highly time-efficient support for rapidly analysing the challenging variables affecting racecar set-up, from track characteristics and weather conditions to driving style.

Sam Emeny-Smith, Head of Automotive and Motorsport at Monolith, explained that the company’s AI models ‘plug directly’ into PREMA’s current engineering workflow, providing enhanced data analysis that complements rather than replaces their existing setup methodologies.
He added that racing regulations strictly limit the number of physical sensors teams can install.
