L’technological innovation it is the beating heart of the Ducati Lenovo Team’s success in MotoGP. Find how the synergy between human talent and advanced technology it transformed motorcycle racing.
The technological revolution in the Ducati garage
In the Ducati garage, at the Mugello circuit, technology plays a fundamental role. Lenovo, with its advanced solutions, supports the team in collecting and analyzing data in real time. Each bike produces an impressive amount of data during races, and this is analyzed to improve performance on the track.
Eliseo Sciarretta, software development manager e applications track for Ducati Corse, underlines how crucial thedata analysis: “We need to know what’s happening on the bike. The pilot is obviously the first sensor, but there are others 50 to draw from.”
The hyperconverged infrastructure of Ducati Lenovo Team
From this year, the Ducati Lenovo Team uses hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) Lenovo ThinkAgile, which allows you to analyze large amounts of data efficiently. Edge servers ThinkSystem SE350 and mobile workstations ThinkPad P1 they are essential tools for Ducati engineers, both on the track and in the Ducati Lenovo Remote Garage.
The Ducati Lenovo Remote Garage, located in Borgo Panigale, receives real-time data from the garage, allowing engineers to perform analyzes complex and improve the performance of motorcycles. Lenovo It also provides additional support via its cloud, which provides additional power and services to quickly adapt to peak workloads.
Thursday’s challenge: the NTB-01 robot
On the Thursday before the race, the technology goes a step further with NTB-01, a semi-autonomous driving robot developed by Andrea Gorfer, electronic engineer at Ducati Corse. This robot collects detailed data on the circuit, improving the precision of useful information for motorcycles.
David Attisano, data analysis manager for Ducati Corseexplore the applications ofartificial intelligence (AI) in motorcycle racing: “With machine learning techniques we try to replicate the intelligence of our engineers”. This technology supports the team in technical and strategic choices, and could in the future allow more direct communication between the bike and the rider.
The collaboration between Ducati Corse And Lenovo it started in 2018 and has strengthened over the years, bringing benefits to both parts. Lenovo obtains a return on image and the possibility of testing its technologies in a competitive context, while Ducati continuously improves its performance thanks to technological support from Lenovo.
