Formula E: Bridging the gap between the digital and real worlds

In this episode, we’ll be taking you on a trip to London for the final race weekend of the 10th season of the Formula E championship, which was held on the weekend of the 20th and 21st July. We’ve been looking at the tech behind the event, how Formula E is transforming the world of racing, and what our organisations can learn from the cutting edge of motorsport.One of those areas is in training and familiarity. Knowing the circuit and how the car will behave at any given moment is obviously a huge advantage. But how do you work that out when you’ve only got the race weekend?Well, one way is to use track and car simulations - essentially, incredibly accurate digital twins of a racetrack with a full suite of driving controls and simulated movement, where drivers can test their setups in a variety of conditions, to prepare for race day. Here to talk more about that are this week’s guests, from Maserati MSG racing: Cyril Blais, deputy team principal, and driver Maximillian Günther.This is Technology Now, a weekly show from Hewlett Packard Enterprise. Every week we look at a story that's been making headlines, take a look at the technology behind it, and explain why it matters to organizations and what we can learn from it.
