Aiming to unlock new levels of performance insight in both motorsport and street sports, Manthey, one of the world's leading Porsche racing teams and specialist for Porsche GT models, and Griiip, an innovator in motorsport data technology, are announcing a strategic partnership.
The goal: to provide drivers and teams across all levels of competition and sport driving with improved access to real-time performance insights. These insights are aimed not only at enabling drivers to achieve a deeper and more detailed understanding of their on-track performance allowing them to improve their results, but also at supporting entire racing teams in making data-driven decisions before, during and after each session.
The access to these insights will be provided through the ‘GriiipPerformance’ app, which will be available to racing teams and drivers, from race drivers, to track day participants and also to sim racers, creating the first global community for sport drivers and a diverse ecosystem of motorsports athletes. The platform will be gradually launched starting in 2025.
As motorsport increasingly embraces data-driven approaches to performance, Manthey and Griiip combine their expertise to make elite-level racing insights available to a much broader audience. Traditionally reserved for top-tier series like WEC and DTM, advanced analytics will be accessible to a wider range of drivers and teams. Moreover, the cutting-edge performance data will also be presented to amateur drivers and the growing ecosystem of sim racing in a gamified and user-friendly way.
Manthey is renowned for its unparalleled expertise in vehicle dynamics and race engineering, particularly with Porsche race cars. With decades of success in endurance racing such as seven overall victories in the 24 Hours of the Nürburgring and five class victories in the 24 Hours of Le Mans and a commitment to excellence, Manthey’s contributions to the partnership ensure top-tier engineering and race performance knowledge.
Griiip’s innovative cloud-based platform, which already enhances fan engagement for premier motorsport leagues, provides advanced data analytics powered by AI. Its platform delivers real-time insights in a user-friendly format, simplifying complex data so that not only race engineers but also drivers, teams, and even fans can easily interpret and act on it.
"We are honored and proud to be collaborating with the global leaders in GT performance driving. We see this partnership as a game-changer for the motorsport world," said Tamir Plachinsky, CEO of Griiip. "By combining Manthey's world-class expertise with our cutting-edge data platform, we’re democratizing access to performance insights. Teams, drivers, and even fans all across the industry will now be able to leverage the same powerful data tools traditionally available only to top-tier engineers. This provides immense added value for our GriiipPerformance platform, for our existing cadre of users and for every new user that will join."
„The partnership between Manthey and Griiip is an extremely exciting collaboration. We quickly recognised the potential in each other and jointly developed an innovative software product that combines the core competencies of both companies. Manthey contributes its expertise in vehicle deployment and in the analysis and preparation of data to get the most out of vehicles. Griiip contributes its in-depth knowledge of data visualisation and transmission. The combination of these two innovative companies opens up new possibilities in motorsport. Our goal is to give more people access to effective analysis tools so that teams and individuals – even those with limited resources – can benefit from the advantages of data analysis. We are excited about the future and have some exciting plans for the further development of this product.”, summarises Nicolas Raeder, Managing Director, Manthey Racing GmbH.
The collaboration will deliver a range of benefits to drivers and teams, including:
Comprehensive Performance Analysis: Holistic data covering all aspects of vehicle and driver performance Real-Time Insights: Instant access to key analytics for in-race decision-making
User-Friendly Interface: Intuitive design enabling users to quickly understand and apply performance data
