Photos: Dell creates Team Lotus mobile data centre

Portable F1 facility.

on Jan 21 2011 6:58AM

Dell has created a mobile data centre for Formula 1's Team Lotus that will be trackside at all 19 race meetings this year. The centre collects and processes data from 150 sensors in the team's F1 race car before transmitting the data back to the team's UK factory for further analysis.

The sensors measure tyre temperature, aerodynamics and other variables, allowing engineers to make adjustments to the cars during or after racing, Dell said.

The centre will be shipped to all race meetings and had to be designed to withstand "extreme temperature conditions" at some of the tracks. The team was a complete Dell shop, using high performance computing (HPC) in its factory and a range of Dell laptops and workstations in the field.

We asked for photographs of the kit at work in the pits, but this was as close as the team will allow cameras to get. That kind of shot is "quite sensitive information, competitively" in the world of F1, a spokesman said. Indeed - its a cut-throat world - Team Lotus was formerly called Lotus Racing. It was involved in a legal spat over the use of the name 'Lotus'.
