Reliable Computing for Demanding Race Conditions
During race weekends, Invicta Racing creates a dedicated track network to share telemetry data across the entire team in real time. This allows engineers to quickly analyze vehicle performance, make adjustments, and optimize strategies before and during races.
However, the racing environment presents significant challenges for standard IT equipment. Devices used in the pits and garages are exposed to accidental drops, liquid spills, vibrations, and changing weather conditions.Since even a single device failure could affect race operations, Invicta needed a rugged computing solution capable of maintaining stable performance in extreme environments.
Switching to Getac Rugged Tablets and Laptops
Before adopting Getac technology, Invicta Racing used semi-rugged devices that were not designed for professional motorsport applications. Although these devices offered basic protection, their limited performance could not fully support the team’s increasingly demanding data requirements.
After evaluating different options, Invicta selected Getac rugged computing solutions and introduced a combination of:
The devices are now used both during international race weekends and at Invicta Racing’s headquarters in Attleborough, UK.
Supporting Real-Time Racing Operations
The Getac F110 fully rugged tablet provides engineers with a powerful mobile solution during races.
Engineers use the F110 to collect immediate feedback from drivers after practice and qualifying sessions, while also monitoring critical race information such as track position and tyre pressures from the pit wall.
Designed for outdoor motorsport environments, the F110 features:
Meanwhile, the Getac S410 and S510 rugged laptops support garage operations throughout race weekends.
Mechanics use the laptops to run specialized applications for vehicle assembly, repair, maintenance, and performance adjustments. Their powerful computing capability enables the team to process information quickly and efficiently in demanding workshop environments.
Built to Perform in Extreme Environments
Formula 2 garages are fast-paced workplaces where equipment must withstand continuous movement, vibration, temperature changes, and accidental damage.
With MIL-STD-810H and IP53 certifications, Getac rugged laptops and tablets provide the durability required for motorsport operations.
Their reliable design helps Invicta Racing maintain uninterrupted workflows, allowing engineers and mechanics to focus on improving racing performance instead of worrying about equipment failures.
Improving Reliability and Operational Efficiency
Since implementing Getac rugged technology, Invicta Racing has experienced no device failures during race weekends.
Compared with previous equipment, Getac laptops and tablets provide significantly improved computing performance and reliability, helping the team maintain operational efficiency throughout the racing season.
Looking ahead, Invicta Racing is also exploring additional applications of the F110’s integrated scanner, which could allow mechanics to quickly order replacement parts during race weekends without requiring additional scanning equipment.
Driving Towards Anothe Championship Victory
For a professional racing team, speed and reliability are essential. Getac rugged computing solutions provide Invicta Racing with dependable technology designed specifically for high-pressure environments.
With improved digital workflows and reliable field performance, Invicta Racing can remain focused on its goal of securing a third consecutive FIA Formula 2 Teams’ and Drivers’ Championship title.
