But unlike F1, each of the nine national teams in SailGP can access all those data for post-race analysis. This helps retain the essence of the sport, as winning depends on how teams interpret those data to enhance their sailing performance on water, instead of how much technology investments they can make.
Similar to Formula One (F1), SailGP is another global racing series that leverages high technology and data.
Thousands of sensors are attached to the F50 foiling catamarans and their crew members, generating millions of data points, says Warren Jones, SailGP’s chief technology officer, at a media briefing on the side of Oracle CloudWorld 2022 in Las Vegas.
