nhancing Race Team Performance with Microsoft Tablet PCs and Centel Software

The US race team TCGR has adopted Microsoft Tablet PCs with Centel software to enhance data exchange between pit crews and engineering staff. Previously, data sharing was slow and manual, but the new system allows for secure, instant communication and data storage.
