A single race weekend generates 800 GB of data, all of which needs to be efficiently collected, rapidly analyzed, and securely stored to increase a team’s chances of bringing home a championship. To achieve that, ROKiT Williams racecars feature 300 independent sensors and run 1,000 channels of data.
