“CPU 24/7 allows us to focus on what makes our racing car faster, the simulation - without the time consuming IT workload. Thanks to the enormous computing capacities, we are able to run far more detailed and extensive simulations than on workstations and therefore get more accurate results. In addition, the service offers the possibility for us to access the simulation from everywhere with any kind of device, which allows us to make adjustments or retrieve data even faster.”
