Check if the document is available in the language of your choice. Aston Martin Red Bull Racing designers improved their productivity by leveraging an innovative, high- performing, and easy-to-use virtualization solution from HPE and Citrix®—avoiding the inefficient requirement to run two separate workstations in the process of optimizing its car for each race. Aston Martin Red Bull Racing is a Formula One racing team based in the UK. To be competitive, the team optimizes its car for every race. This results in over 30,000 design changes a year. To deliver so many design updates quickly and accurately to the car each season, the team’s aerodynamics engineers use computational fluid dynamics (CFDs) to simulate airflow over the car. This acts as a virtual wind tunnel, enabling
