| High Resolution | Superior visual quality without stuttering |
Real-Time Performance Impact
The simulator’s importance extends beyond driver training. Reserve and simulator drivers work intensively during race weekends, testing real-time solutions with engineers that can be immediately applied to race cars in the next session. This rapid iteration capability is crucial for championship success.
Overcoming Global Challenges
With race teams frequently overseas in different time zones, TeamViewer Tensor provides essential flexibility. Key personnel can remotely log in, monitor, and modify simulator devices from anywhere, maximizing simulator utilization while maintaining unmatched security and scalability.
Christian Damm, Simulator Development Engineer, emphasizes the technology’s importance: “Not only are the simulators a sensitive area, they’re also very secretive. We need to be able to trust that the data security is in place.”
Advanced Technical Capabilities
TeamViewer Tensor’s dynamic remoting allows multiple users to connect to one machine for collaborative troubleshooting. The technology’s superior resolution and higher bit rate eliminate the stuttering and freezing issues experienced with previous software, ensuring consistent high-quality performance.
Steven Riley, Head of IT Operation and Service Management, notes the strategic value: “Due to the cost cap all our technology deployments have to deliver value. It is always a balancing act where technology spend will make more of an impact.”
This partnership demonstrates how enterprise-grade remote access solutions can enhance performance in high-stakes environments where every second counts. The integration spans across Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS’s entire digital workplace ecosystem, from factory operations to trackside engineering.
