We have 300 sensors on the car.
We pull down one and a half terabytes of data over the course of a weekend.
We run 50 million simulations over the course of a race week.
So the technology is absolutely insane, which is why we have so many technology partners is they are very much integrated into the team.
So you look at the Dell, we're running their servers and their storage and their high-performance computing.
Cisco is responsible for our communications.
Google and Gemini around our AI.
And so that's why I think so much so many technology partners we just announced Intel gravitate towards the sport is it's a place for them to showcase design and develop their technologies.
And I think that's why it's such a fertile playground for these great companies.
Have there been any breakthroughs in car design or manufacturing or testing or anything in that space that have been particularly exciting for you in recent years?
Yeah, I mean, it dates back to the seatbelt in the rearview mirror.
Yeah, those are good ones.
But that started in motor racing.
You know, then you get into carbon fiber chassis.
Safety is a big aspect in racing that gets transferred to the road car.
Materials.
Now, you don't take something off a Formula One car and put it on a road car because...
Road car wants it to go 200,000 miles.
We want it to go 200 miles and then be done with it and move on.
But materials, carbon fiber chassis was something.
