Honda Racing F1 Team's New Development Process Improved UK-Japan Collaboration and Accelerated Vehicle Development to Allow Time for Extensive Testing

The Honda F1 Racing Team specializes in Formula 1 auto racing. Honda team wanted to design and build a new Formula One car in the brief, five-month off-season. To master these needs Hoda team chose Siemens PLM Software. Honda team deployed NX software digital product development system and Teamcenter software digital lifecycle management solution throughout new car development. The software was used at every stage of the development cycle, from creating initial design concepts, supporting the rigorous testing routines and manufacturing processes, through to live track-to-factory web collaboration that facilitates fine adjustments to the car based on its racing event performance.
