Cinderpoint Alpha competes in GP Premier. Cinderpoint Axiom runs FF Premier. Both programs feed live race data directly into the SwipeManager simulation platform. Every result on track is a calibration point.
SwipeManager launched as a motorsport management simulation. The physics model was built from published data, telemetry archives, and engineering literature. It was accurate enough — but accurate enough is not the same as correct.
The question was simple: what would it take to know the simulation was right? The answer was a race car. Cinder Sportsworks was formed to put Cinderpoint™ equipment and strategy models into live championship competition, at speed, under pressure, against real opponents.
Cinderpoint Alpha entered GP Premier as the flagship program. Cinderpoint Axiom followed in FF Premier — Formula Ford provides a different mechanical signature, different tire behavior, and a different strategic envelope. Running both series simultaneously doubled the calibration surface.
The division does not exist for exposure. It exists because a simulation company that does not compete has no external check on whether its models are right. The track is the check.
The GP program and the founding team of Cinder Sportsworks. Cinderpoint Alpha runs GP Premier full championship rounds. The livery is deep navy and copper — Cinderpoint™ brand colors applied to a high-downforce package built for circuit racing. GP Premier demands aero precision; the Alpha program is designed to surface setup sensitivity data that maps directly to simulation parameters.
The FF program. Cinderpoint Axiom runs FF Premier — Formula Ford is a mechanically pure category with minimal aerodynamic complexity, high mechanical grip reliance, and tight driver performance variation. That makes it a precise environment for testing driver model accuracy in SwipeManager. Where Alpha stresses aero parameters, Axiom stresses mechanical and driver variables. The livery mirrors Alpha: deep navy primary with copper detail, distinguished by white secondary panels and Axiom-specific numbering.
Both programs are active in their respective Premier series. The season structure is built around maximum data coverage — every round, every circuit type, every competitive condition.
