What does a world-class car racing team do to gain a competitive edge at the biggest race of the year? It turns to the latest technology advances from Microsoft Corp. During this year's Indianapolis 500 qualifying trials and on race day, Target Chip Ganassi Racing (TCGR) will streamline communications between its two pit crews using Microsoft® Windows® Messenger running on Tablet PCs powered by Windows XP Tablet PC Edition, and a custom-built application using the new Microsoft Real-Time Communications Server 2003 (RTC Server 2003).
"The key to staying ahead of our competition is all about getting the best performance from our cars," said team owner Chip Ganassi. "And quickly sharing driver feedback and information on car adjustments between our two pit crews is essential to making that happen." With the Microsoft solution, TCGR can share that vital information wirelessly in a fast, more-secure way.
