Infiniti Red Bull Racing relying on Siemens software

June 2014 News

At the team’s factory in Milton Keynes, over 100 engineers are using Siemens software to redevelop the world champion race car for Sebastian Vettel and Daniel Ricciardo. New rules issued for the 2014 Formula One season by the FIA, motorsport’s global governing body, mandate wide-ranging changes in the car’s design. Siemens’ product lifecycle management (PLM) software is helping ensure their rapid implementation. The Siemens software allows Infiniti Red Bull Racing engineers to design new car components, test them in the virtual domain and initiate their production and installation with a mouse click.
