In a world where split-second decisions need to be made at a moments notice, it’s vital the team has a clear overview of the race as it unfolds.
UST Global, Virgin Racing’s IT services partner, is developing a bespoke race management tool that will provide our engineers with the 360 degree race perspective they need. This software collation programme will integrate a number of data streams from the FIA and FOM, the GPS positioning of the Virgin Racing cars relative to their competition, and FOM visual feeds enabling our engineers to optimise our race strategy.
In addition, UST Global will also integrate the Wirth Research simulator with set-up data for the VR-01, to ensure a constant two-way correlation between the two.
When they’re not at the race track helping us find those vital few seconds, UST Global’s day job is to be a leading provider of end-to-end IT services and solutions for Global 2000 companies.
The company has a client-centric Global Engagement Model that combines local, senior, on-site resources with the cost, scale, and quality advantages of off-shore operations.
UST Global follows a philosophy of “Fewer Clients, More Attention” to be able to service each of its customers individually.
