Original abstract

This study focuses on the use of eye-tracking technology to analyse the rider’s visual attention during racing on a Ducati Panigale V2 motorcycle. Using the TOBII Pro Glasses 2 system, the rider’s gaze dynamics were recorded, including fixations, eye movements (saccades) and gaze distribution on key sections of the track. The results revealed a link between gaze stability and cornering efficiency, particularly in optimising braking points and selecting the ideal trajectory. Identifying unstable visual behavior—such as frequent gaze deviations or constant switching between reference points—provides valuable insights for improving driving technique. This approach confirms the importance of eye-tracking as a tool for objective evaluation and optimization of rider performance in motorsport.
