An article has cropped up on the red-top* IT site regarding the use of IT by the Lotus F1 team.

 

It gives, at least to an ex-wirehead like me, an interesting insight in the specific issues that an F1 team faces with its IT provisions - having to build an fairly big IT center every 2 weeks or so, the climate/environmental issues, handling the volume of traffic generated, and a wee bit about the amount of work this creates - a material change to the car every 7 minutes, though precisely what a material change is is not specified...

*EDIT: red-top = tabloid.  The material on the site is very variable, ranging from fascinating, to salacious, to whatever the hacks happen to be interested in.

One of Lotus' biggest challenges is paying their bills. They were my customer last year - took them 10 months to pay invoices of around £1200. Don't bother with them anymore.
