In conjunction with a leading F1 racing team, CDP developed an information system which manages the complex parameters used to configure a racing car for peak performance. The system records the configuration of a variety of the car's components (e.g. aerodynamics, suspension, tyres) during testing and pre-race laps. It also records results in terms of timings and driver comments for each configuration.
Written in Oracle Forms 6 and backed by Oracle 8i database, the system uses a number of different screens which interact with one another to give engineers and mechanics different views of the configuration and to communicate requests for changes and actions performed between the two.
