A Formula 1 car is more than man and machine - it is man, machine and a whole array of
information technology to give Panasonic Toyota Racing's engineers a full picture of what
happens on track, and more importantly, why.
Whenever a TF107 is on track, its every move is recorded by around 250 sensors in
various parts of the car. The team receives information on approximately 1,300 different
parameters, from basics like tyre pressures and engine temperature to more complex
information on how the gearbox and engine behave.
