Whether performing millions of simulations during R&D or analyzing streaming data from cars on the track, “quick data access, quick data analysis, quick decisions” is how BWT Alpine F1 Team gets its competitive edge with KX Insights.
In its historic iterations, BWT Alpine F1 Team has competed in Formula 1 since 1977, starting more than 400 Grands Prix, winning 35 races, and claiming world championship titles in 2005 and 2006.

KX has become BWT Alpine F1 Team’s data science platform of choice, helping spot and react to problems before they happen, and identify opportunities to increase performance – in milliseconds.
