Research, people, patents, resources and experiments: the path that led Formula Center Italia from the first driver tests to the different horizons of human telemetry.
THE IDEA OF DAVIDE VENDITTI
Know the medium. Listen to the signals. Understanding the person.

2018–2019 / THE FIRST PROTOTYPE
RCST. Human Telemetry System.
Personal telemetry takes shape in motorsport with RCST, the first prototype of the Formula Center Italia route.
The presentation of 18 April 2018 at the San Raffaele Telematic University of Rome introduces a wearable system to observe the driver while driving. The technical shirt, sensors and track tests are the roots from which Humetry technology develops.

THE ORIGINS / A FAMILY HISTORY
A shared idea. Support to help it grow.
The intuition was born from Davide and his father Gaetano Venditti, combining experience on the track with the desire to better understand the person driving.
The family accompanies the project from the first steps: decisive support, especially at the beginning, to move from the idea to the research and the first prototypes. Fabio participates in the journey as a tester of the device on the track.
2018 → TODAY
Every step opens up a possibility.
Formula Center Italia is the company that develops research and industrial property. Humetry is the technology that brings this vision to different application areas.
On 26 June the company took shape. The idea was born from Davide Venditti together with his father Gaetano, starting from their experience in motorsport. Family support is essential to transform it into an entrepreneurial path, especially in the initial phase. His brother Fabio shares the sporting path and the development of the project. Fabio also participates as an official tester of the device on the track, contributing to field validation. The first prototype bears the name RCST Human Telemetry System.
2018

SKILLS THAT MEET
The path is being built with people.
Motorsport & research
MegaRide, ART, University of Naples Federico II and the experience with the ACI Sport Federal School contributed to the initial path.
Clinical experience
The Policlinico Tor Vergata, with the study coordinated by Prof. Massimo Andreoni, is a stage in the transition to medical experimentation.
Safety & sports
The research in OSH-RO@D and the dialogue with the sporting world, including CONI, open new questions on the human factor.
