HP technology is powering the Dreyer & Reinbold drivers and their teams at nearly every stage of the race.
- The pit crews will use HP notebooks at trackside to monitor every move the cars make and remotely adjust suspension, telemetry and engine systems for optimal performance during every second of the race.
- Also on the track, the team will use industry-leading
HP TouchSmart touch-enabled computers and notebooks to quickly and easily log and analyze race times and scores, then send them to powerful
HP servers for further analysis.
- HP printers and high-definition plotter products create detailed drawings and printouts used for data comparison before, during and after the race.
- The cars on the track were designed on HP Workstations – used worldwide by engineering and design professionals at the top of their game – to squeeze every ounce of horsepower into the cars.
