Automotive weighing is essential in competition to ensure fairness among competitors and to optimize mass distribution settings. An automobile race is governed by a technical regulation. For each discipline and category of vehicle, a minimum weight is set by the bodies governing motor sport. Teams and preparers must comply with these regulations while optimizing vehicle performance and ensuring driver safety. The measurement of wheel weight and mass distribution is carried out with weighing equipment specially designed for motor racing, such as integrated scales and mobile off-ground scales without wires or wires. Weighing systems for motor sport must meet requirements for accuracy and reliability. Car weighing is a crucial step in any competition, it is important to use equipment of high performance and quality.

The mobile weighing wheels used in competitions are wireless or wired aboveground weighing systems that accurately measure the weight of a vehicle, the distribution of masses and calculate the center of gravity. Extra flat, Captels scales are equipped with stainless steel sensors with strain gauges and are calibrated in masses connected to the COFRAC measuring chain. Motor sport scales are ideal for use in motor racing, motorcycles, karting and heavy duty tractors. Lightweight, easy to set up, they can be quickly moved from one place to another protected by the personalized transport crate.

The built-in wheel weigher also called integrated scale is an essential element for all competitions. It is used to ensure that all vehicles participating in a race meet the specified weight limits. The scale integrated into the control platform, also known as the weighing bench, is usually located in the pit area. It is a large platform perfectly horizontal equipped with lasers, so as to measure perfectly the main dimensions of the car as well as its weight. The balance data is then transmitted to the race officials, who check that each vehicle meets the required regulatory requirements. Drivers are also weighed in order to deduct their weight from that of the car during the checks carried out during the qualifying tests. The integrated scale plays an essential role in ensuring equity between pilots.
