SmartVision Takes to the Track with Caterham Racing Team

SmartVision is pleased to announce a new partnership with Crawley Racing Team for two major race weekends at Donington Park and Oulton Park, as part of the Caterham Seven 270R Championship.

At first glance, highways inspection technology and Caterham racing might seem like two very different worlds.

But look a little closer, and the connection becomes clear:

SmartVision uses AI, data and computer vision to help highway teams to monitor road conditions, act faster and improve outcomes; Caterham racing is all about precision, visibility, split-second decisions, and extracting performance from real-world conditions.

We’ve chosen this partnership as the values that win on track (precision, visibility, data, speed, resilience and trust in technology) are the same values SmartVision brings to highway inspections.

What is the Caterham Seven 270R championship?

The Caterham Seven 270R Championship is a UK-based racing series featuring small, lightweight, open-top Caterham Seven sports cars. The cars are closely matched, which means success depends heavily on the driver's skill, judgement and the ability to perform under pressure.

The Caterham Seven 270R Championship is designed for experienced drivers who have graduated from the Caterham Academy and Roadsport series. It allows professional team support and features fiercely contested 20-minute races across top-tier UK circuits.

It is close, competitive and highly engaging racing, where every corner matters and every decision can make a difference.

The Crawley Racing Team has demonstrated strong progression in recent seasons, with continued championship development and podium success, making the partnership a natural fit for SmartVision’s own commitment to innovation, improvement and real-world performance.

Our team will be at Donington Park on Saturday 20 June and Oulton Park on Saturday 17 August to show our support for the Crawley Racing Team during the championship. If you would like to be part of the action, please contact Mike Mockford (mike.mockford@metricell.com) for further details.

We look forward to sharing more from behind the scenes as the season gets underway.
