Pitwall OS Automotive

Vehicle readiness, lifing and a season planner that holds up

Automotive is the motorsport and vehicle backbone: race cars, track cars, karts, dragsters, hire fleets and collections all live as assets with readiness state.

Lifing works the way the paddock thinks — distance, hours, runs and heat cycles — and the season planner ties rounds and championships to the cars actually available.

What it adds

  • Vehicle fleet with readiness and status
  • Distance, hours, runs and heat-cycle lifing
  • Work orders, faults and incident history
  • Tyre sets, positions, heat cycles and storage
  • Race season planner with rounds and championships
  • Provenance, valuation and originality for collections

How it runs

01

Fleet

Every vehicle carries status, readiness and its own component tree.

02

Life

Distance, hours, runs and heat cycles tick over from sessions and events.

03

Fix

Work orders, faults and incident history stay attached to the car.

04

Plan

Season planner lines rounds and championships up against real availability.

Case studies

Each of these is a live demo workspace you can sign into. The companies are fictional, created to show how Pitwall OS Automotive works in a real operation.

GridMotion · Single-seater race team

Six cars, two championships, one readiness board

A six-car single-seater programme across two championships couldn't answer which cars were race-ready for the next round without ringing three people.

What they use in Automotive

  • Vehicle fleet with readiness and status
  • Race season planner across two championships
  • Work orders and spares consumption
  • Driver and sponsor records in CRM alongside the cars

Outcome

The team plans rounds against actual car state, and spares reorder points come out of consumption instead of guesswork.

Pacific Nitro Works · Drag racing engine shop

Run-based lifing for parts that live in milliseconds

A drag racing engine shop measured part life in runs and heat cycles, which no off-the-shelf maintenance tool understood.

What they use in Automotive

  • Run and heat-cycle lifing on rotating assemblies
  • Build and teardown jobs with findings recorded
  • Workshop capacity against booked rebuilds
  • Provenance on customer-owned components

Outcome

Teardown findings feed the next build, and the shop quotes rebuild slots from real capacity.

Scuderia Novanta GT · GT and endurance team

Endurance line-ups billed as accurately as they're run

Multi-driver GT entries meant gentleman-driver billing and stint plans were reconstructed after each event from notes.

What they use in Automotive

  • Multi-driver line-ups against car and event
  • Endurance run plans and pit stop sequences
  • Component lifing across long-distance running
  • Customer racing invoices generated from actual usage

Outcome

Stint data and invoicing come from the same record, so customer racing settles within days of the flag.

Arc Fleet · Vehicle fleet and hire

Service, MOT and defects that chase themselves

A commercial hire fleet was tracking service intervals, MOT dates and driver-reported defects across email and paper sheets.

What they use in Automotive

  • Service and MOT reminders per vehicle
  • Driver defect reporting from mobile
  • Hire agreements linked to the vehicle record
  • Distance-based maintenance scheduling

Outcome

Off-road time dropped because reminders and defects arrive before a vehicle is due out on hire.

Valora Kart · Karting and arrive-and-drive

A hire fleet that survives a full season of sessions

An arrive-and-drive centre couldn't tell which karts were carrying the load, so the same chassis wore out while others sat.

What they use in Automotive

  • Kart hire fleet with hours and runs per chassis
  • Session bookings tied to available karts
  • Work orders for damage between sessions
  • Academy driver coaching records in CRM

Outcome

Utilisation is balanced across the fleet and maintenance happens between sessions rather than mid-booking.

Ridgeline Racing · Rally and off-road team

Component life measured stage by stage

A privateer team on tight budgets needed to know exactly how much life remained in heavily worn components after each stage.

What they use in Automotive

  • Component lifing by stage distance and hours
  • Crew rotas, travel and service park logistics
  • Work orders and incident history per machine
  • Sponsorship and commercial records in CRM

Outcome

Parts are replaced on evidence, not superstition, which keeps a privateer budget on the road all season.
