An exciting weekend of Formula One racing comes to India for
the 3rd time with many a drivers and race officials cheering
interest in racing in India, amidst disappointment of Buddh International
Circuit falling of the grid in 2014 – but that’s what F1 excitement is all
about – big money, glamour, speed and controversy
One thing that has fundamentally changed in racing is the
infusion of technology beyond the car engine and mechanicals. Wander around the
pits at a Formula One car race and you're as likely to bump into an iPad armored
scientist or a laptop-wielding engineer as much as a mechanic with an advanced
spanner
Each fraction of a second is important in every race and can
make or mar the performance of car and the driver. Insight into elements of
track, machine performance and driver reflexes offer competitive advantage,
which teams cannot afford to miss. The management, race engineers and
strategists sit during the race and make important decisions regarding pit
stops and strategy.
The pit wall is connected to the garage in order to receive
telemetry, strategy, timing feeds as well as intercom communications with the
garage, race control and even the operations room in the UK. Teams always want
to analyze more data …quicker! During a
Grand Prix decisions have to be made which can affect the performance of the
cars and ultimately the result of the race. As they are racing they cannot
afford to wait before making decisions. Therefore being able to analyze more
data (both live and historical) in real time will help the team make more
informed decisions quicker.
The latest is the use of in-memory computing platform to analyze
the vast amounts of sensor data faster (Each car has over 200 or these …Phew!).
The team will warehouse data so that they will be able
to predict and model race situations for a smarter race strategy.
This real-time analysis of car sensor data can be run against both historical data and predictive models, helping the team to make immediate proactive corrections, avoid costly, dangerous incidents and win the race. With instant analysis of what is happening to the car while the race is on, the driver and engineers can work together to ensure a winning result.

Get Ready! Technology will be the new force on the race track
that is currently reshaping the sports industry.
