Knowing the circuit and how the car will behave at any given moment is obviously a huge advantage. But how do you work that out when you’ve only got the race weekend?\nWell, one way is to use track and car simulations - essentially, incredibly accurate digital twins of a racetrack with a full suite of driving controls and simulated movement, where drivers can test their setups in a variety of conditions, to prepare for race day.\nHere to talk more about that are this week’s guests, from Maserati MSG racing: Cyril Blais, deputy team principal, and driver Maximillian Günther.\nThis is Technology Now, a weekly show from Hewlett Packard Enterprise. Every week we look at a story that's been making headlines, take a look at the technology behind it, and explain why it matters to organizations and what we can learn from it.\nDo you have a question for the expert?
