Martin Berry Uses AI to Prepare for Le Mans

Martin Berry is using an AI personal trainer alongside extended simulator sessions to prepare for the 94th 24 Hours of Le Mans, ABC Sport reports. Berry drives the number 61 car for Iron Lynx in the LMGT3 category alongside teammates Rui Andrade and Maxime Martin. Berry told ABC Sport, "I'm quite into AI these days, so I have built this AI personal trainer that has been guiding me for preparation for Le Mans," and said the event is "iconic," ABC Sport reports.

The article does not disclose technical specifics of Berry's AI trainer. Industry-pattern observations: AI personal trainers in high-performance sport typically combine personalized training schedules, physiological monitoring, recovery planning, and sometimes telemetry analysis to align physical conditioning with race demands. High-fidelity driving simulators are frequently used to build muscle memory and optimize race lines without track time, and when paired with data-driven coaching they can compress seat time learning curves.

Professional motorsport has trended toward integrating telemetry, biometrics, and machine learning for marginal gains. For endurance events like Le Mans, where drivers must sustain performance across long stints with limited recovery, tools that personalize workload and simulate extended runs address specific operational constraints that teams and drivers face. Berry is also an entrepreneur and venture capitalist, contextualizing his early adoption of AI tools for performance preparation.

For practitioners: watch for disclosure of measurable outcomes tied to these tools, such as lap consistency, physiological markers across stints, or recovery metrics reported by teams. Also observe whether more drivers or teams publicly adopt AI-driven conditioning and whether event-level performance differentials correlate with documented AI-assisted preparation.
