The Future of Work in the Racing Industry

Networking technology giant Cisco has this year expanded its partnership with McLaren Racing, providing collaboration infrastructure to enhance the F1 team’s speed, scale and power across their stack. 

McLaren Racing was founded by New Zealand racing driver Bruce McLaren in 1963, and with more than 180 F1 Grand Prix wins under their belt, they are one of the most iconic motorsport brands in the world.

They now use Cisco’s solutions across their enterprise, upgrading their offices as well as their on-site race day deployments. 

EM360 visited the team’s headquarters in Surrey - the McLaren Technology Centre - to check out everything from VR headsets to real-time office space virtualisation. 

In this special episode of the EM360 Podcast, Editor Matt Harris spoke to Gary Blenkarn, Technology Solutions Architect at Cisco, about the future of work in the racing industry.
