An app to manage NASCAR races is actually a thing

The Redmond company has produced Mobile Inspection and Race Management apps for the racing series, making for some rather interesting changes in the pitlane. The latter is the newest app, being designed for race organisers and officials to keep abreast of the action.

“The race management app collects live video feeds and transponder data from the cars around the track. For the first time, officials have live, detailed braking, throttling, RPM, speed, and lap fraction times directly from each car, in the control booth in real time,” Microsoft explained in a blog post.
