anyone have any information on the type of information display used by the various Formula One race teams? As fans know, the mechanics, engineers and team manager are able to receive real-time data from a variety of sensors on the cars, and I believe that the teams are once again allowed to make active adjustments to the cars while on the track.

Given the massive amounts of multivariate data, compounded by other factors such as weather, track conditions, competitors, etc, I would imagine that tremendous effort has gone into the data display, especially when one considers this must all be interpreted for a car racing around a circuit.

Wired magazine did a good article the other year, but there wasn’t any information on the information displays.
