Bf1systems, Cosworth Renew DigiTyre TPMS Partnership

High performance motorsport technology supplier Cosworth has renewed its partnership with Beru specialist division bf1systems for the exclusive distribution and ongoing support of bf1systems’ DigiTyre products in the USA. The renewed agreement now includes the new Infra Red Tyre Pressure and Temperature Monitoring System, which utilises infrared elements built into the wheel sensors to give engineers what is said to be the most accurate tyre carcass temperature data.

Cosworth has also announced details of a new worldwide distribution and support contract with bf1systems that will allow it to offer DigiTyre products to its motorsport customers worldwide. This agreement will run in parallel with direct distribution from bf1systems and offers Cosworth’s customers a single order point and support contact for all their on-car electronics. The bf1systems DigiTyre range is now available from Cosworth’s electronics division along with a range of data acquisition and control solutions marketed under the Pi Research and Pectel Control Systems brands. 

“With race teams finding it harder to raise funding, we as suppliers, recognise that we need to work harder and think smarter in order to maintain our customer relationships,” said bf1systems’ managing director John Bailey. “The decision to renew our partnership with Cosworth illustrates how two key suppliers to the motorsport industry can work together offering teams high quality equipment, coupled with direct and professional engineering support, at affordable levels. We are delighted to see the relationship continue and expect to do more things in the future as our partnership grows and strengthens.”

“This renewed partnership is an important one for both businesses,” added Martin Tolliday, Cosworth’s director of motorsport electronics. “bf1systems’ DigiTyre range has proved a major success with teams in the IndyCar and NASCAR Series. The latest infra red system provides accurate tyre carcass temperature data alongside pressures and I’m very pleased that Cosworth is able to offer this to all our customers around the world.”
