| The new 2007 Corvette Racing Pit Stand Control Center:
2 floors of electronics, big gig computing power, wireless communications hardware, 4 of its own cameras focused up and down pit lane, 25 monitors, 20 computer stations, a 6000 watt power supply, weatherstation, and more.
It constantly monitors everything the C6.R is doing on the track and then some. (Rumor has it that Godug can even tell when driver bladder pressure goes critical).
The crew calls it the "Sportsbar", we just call it sir. With all that computing power it's probably reading our thoughts right now and a 2.5 hour power backup means there's no stopping it should it ever get angry.
By the way, Corvette broadcasts the communication between the cars and the pits live on an open FM channel from this thing during every race for fans who want to listen in. |
