Formula 1 is one of the most exciting motor sports around. Several teams vie for the constructors championship. To help achieve this effort, everything should be fine. Each system must be carefully controlled so that the teams play at the highest level in every race this season. For the drivers to their cars for the crew, all must be well prepared before the start of the season or before a race begins. The start of the new F1 season is approaching, and in relation to this, the Formula One team Honda Racing has replaced its IT systems. Later this month, the step taken by the team ensures that the technology to use, not subject to breakdowns and malfunctions. A team of a computer system goes where the race goes. They should be readily available as these systems play an important role for the team and for the whole race. As these devices continue the rest of the race teams and drivers are exposed to heat, cold, dust, noise and vibration of the different circuits around the world. Therefore, the systems are replaced every two years. This is necessary because the races to take the drivers, vehicles, equipment and IT systems worldwide. See, in some countries, the F1 Grand Prix of visitors each year are Australia, Bahrain, Canada, England, Brazil, Malaysia and USA Honda director of IT, David France, said that "the team is essential to obtain the data from the cars and make them immediately available for analysis of the earth." He added, "there must be a connection to the main plant to allow data exchange with strategic systems. We're going to replace everything from servers to switches, routers and laptops for staff. " The data that IT systems are expected very essential to ensure the best performance of the car. Some of the data obtained from the race cars is the amount of fuel left and that is a fundamental piece of information because in Formula One, one of the strategies used to win the competition is the number of stops in a car done to refuel. The brakes are controlled by the system, it is crucial to protect the car and the driver of the Assembly of an accident on the track. In addition to the restructuring of its computer system, Honda has also launched its new car design and launch a website to support it. The site will be available in a few weeks before the new season later this month. "The IT department has been presented in five weeks to develop the site," says France. "Pipex has hosted our site for several years and was asked to develop the new site," he further added. Pipex Communications plc is a British company specializing in Internet and telecommunications solutions. The company moved to new sites elsewhere in order to increase the bandwidth. This means continuous availability, speed, safety and support. Mark Blowers, Butler Group analyst, said the Formula 1 team uses technology to leverage. "It is vital that data is available all the time for the infrastructure must be robust and durable, must be replaced before they fail," says Blower. "Cost is less of a problem as it is in other commercial environments. Given that Honda has a mobile phone infrastructure, should be easier to simply remove and replace existing equipment," Blower added more.
