Q. How many different screens are on the digital dash?
A. The digital dash will have 16 preset screens, but teams have the opportunity to customize them as they see fit.
Q. Can teams customize the displays on the digital dash?
A. Yes, the units are fully customizable for teams. They have the ability to display data using numbers, bar graphs, color scales or a digital version of the familiar gauge with needle. Teams can also customize which information is shown on the screen as well as its size and position.
Q. What information is available to teams on the digital dash?
A. For 2015, teams will have access to the same information that is currently available via analog gauges -- RPM, water temperature, oil temperature, oil pressure, water pressure, fuel pressure and voltage. We are working on including additional information for the future to help strengthen the competition level and fan experience.
Q. We’ve heard you talk about two-way communication with the car, what does that mean?
A. We are working on a network to allow the dash to send real-time information to NASCAR and teams and vice versa. Crew chiefs will be able to monitor important information such as oil pressure or water temperature, and NASCAR will be able to directly communicate information such as caution periods or penalties. This network will ultimately provide teams more information that will increase the competition level and safety, and will provide fans with more engaging data.
Q. Will the digital dash also measure tire pressures?
A. We are working with Goodyear to identify options for the dash to measure tire pressure, however any potential decision would not go into effect this season. To maintain a level playing field, teams using the digital dash will only have access to the same data as teams using analog gauges.
Q. How will the digital dash enhance the fan experience?
A. Ultimately, fans will have access to more comprehensive, and accurate, data from their favorite teams. Fans could consume this information real-time through the race broadcasts as well as NASCAR’s digital platforms.
Q. How will the digital dash enhance the competition level?
A. Teams will have access to more reliable and accurate data through the digital dash. This will allow drivers and crew chiefs to have an exact understanding of what is happening in the car as well as what adjustments need to be made.
