PHOOZY Partners with RAFA Racing Team to Protect the Tech That Powers Championship Performance

In the fast paced world of professional motorsports, milliseconds matter, and so does the technology behind the race. That’s why PHOOZY, the industry leader in high performance technology protection, has partnered with RAFA Racing Team, one of North America’s premier championship winning sports car teams, as their Official Technology Protection Partner.

Whether it’s the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship, SRO GT World Challenge Series, or the global stage of Formula 1 racing, data is king. RAFA Racing Team relies on laptops, tablets, and smartphones to manage race operations, fine-tune engineering setups, and optimize both driver performance and pit crew execution. Every device must operate flawlessly, no matter the temperatures.

The Thermal Challenge in Motorsports

Trackside technology is subjected to relentless stress during every race weekend. Devices such as iPhones, iPads, and laptops must endure soaring track temperatures, sudden weather shifts, and the nonstop pace of race operations. Under these conditions, electronics are vulnerable to overheating, system freezes, and significantly reduced battery performance.

When a phone shuts down in the middle of a race or a laptop fails during critical data logging, the consequences go far beyond inconvenience; they can directly impact strategy, results, and even championship outcomes.

PHOOZY’s Aerospace-Inspired Solution

PHOOZY products, from insulated phone capsules to thermal laptop sleeves, are engineered with patented materials developed by rocket scientists and aerospace engineers. These are the same minds behind advanced NASA spacesuits and aerospace thermal management systems. At the core is our proprietary Chromium Thermal Barrier™ technology, designed to deliver unmatched protection by:

• Reflecting Heat: Shields devices from intense sunlight and high ambient temperatures.
• Insulating from Cold: Preserves battery life in freezing conditions, extending smartphone performance by up to 4X.
• Shielding from Impact & Moisture: Provides drop protection and water resistance for electronics in the most demanding environments.

Recognized by the NASA Spinoff program for the successful commercialization of aerospace technology, PHOOZY has also developed cutting-edge thermal solutions for the U.S. Air Force. The same thermal science that protects astronauts in space and components in high-performance race cars now safeguards RAFA Racing Team’s mission-critical devices, ensuring performance when it matters most.

A Real-World R&D Partnership

By partnering with RAFA Racing Team, PHOOZY gains a unique real world testbed for pushing the limits of its technology. Motorsports is one of the most demanding proving grounds, combining heat along with other weather extremes, and the need for absolute reliability.

“RAFA Racing Team operates in one of the most extreme, data-driven sports in the world,” said Josh Inglis, COO of PHOOZY. “They push performance to the limit, and so do we. This partnership ensures our technology delivers when it matters most.”

RAFA Racing Team: Data-Driven Performance

In professional motorsports, every lap generates gigabytes of data, from tire temperatures and brake wear to driver throttle inputs and aerodynamic performance. RAFA Racing Team’s engineering staff relies on high powered laptops and tablets to:

• Analyze telemetry in real time.
• Optimize pit stop strategy.
• Refine driver techniques for maximum lap time improvement.
• Monitor car health to prevent mechanical issues before they occur.

By keeping these devices fully operational in every element, PHOOZY enables RAFA’s engineers to work without interruption, translating data into results on the track.

From Track to Everyday Life

While RAFA Racing Team’s environment is at the elite end of motorsports, the same thermal protection challenges exist for anyone using technology outdoors. Whether it’s an iPhone losing battery life while skiing, or an overheated phone shutting down on the beach, PHOOZY provides the same protection trusted by professional race teams.

From sports cars to smartphones, the formula is the same: keep technology protected, keep performance high, and eliminate the risk of failure when it matters most.
