Corsair announced its definitive agreement with Endor AG to acquire the Fanatec Sim Racing product line. This acquisition includes all existing employees. Is this good or bad? Honestly, Fanatec makes fantastic products, but nurturing a community wasn’t their game. Fans have always complained about Fanatec’s lack of communication and transparency, while Corsair has generally done a good job in this department. The company (Corsair) recently held an Open Q&A on Reddit to showcase that they’re listening. A quote from Andy Paul, Founder and CEO at Corsair, about the acquisition: “We have long admired the Fanatec brand and are excited to bring these incredible products to an even wider audience. We are fully committed to further develop and expand Fanatec’s product lines, improving customer service, and embracing the needs of the Sim Racing community. Racing enthusiasts can look forward to an even more intense and realistic Sim Racing experience.“ Link: https://lnkd.in/gtN5zZjt #technology #tech #hardware #simracing #fanatec #Corsair #gaming #racing #technologynews

RACING AHEAD: Innovation can often benefit from partnerships between the private and public sectors. In this case, between McLaren Racing and the UK Ministry of Defence, where specialist engineering knowledge and skills will develop solutions for a range of defence projects, including electric vehicles with silent running and lower thermal properties to reduce the chances of detection. If you are business in the innovation space, have you proactively considered collaborative partnerships? #business #innovation #partnerships

🚗 How long does it take you to do an alignment? For us, the answer is simple: 👉 As long as it takes to fit the hubstands. In this video, we demonstrate the speed and efficiency of the Trackside Aligner, the fastest motorsport alignment system on the market. The car is on a lift with the wheels removed, replicating the exact conditions you'd find in the pits during inspections or repairs. With our hubstands fitted and the car lowered onto the tables, we instantly get digital toe and camber readings—no additional steps, no wasted time. 💡 Ready to set-up and set-down faster? Let’s talk! #motorsport #alignment #TracksideAligner #precisionengineering #efficiency #innovation

Hear ye, hear ye! Presenting to our cherished followers, the newsletter for the month of May, bringing your attention to all the developments and progress made by us for the upcoming season. Our alumni though no longer a part of the team, continue to inspire every incoming batch through their tales captured via innumerable pictures, and the one of them working on the DR'17, which many of us still recall very fondly as The Beast, is one to stand out. The testing of the DR'24, on the other hand, is another huge task checked off from our To Do list for the month, helping us assess the improvements to be made on the new chassis under design. Furthermore, this is the edition where we have the pleasure to introduce you to one of the most hardworking and jovial members of our team. Someone who can sure shot be termed as a nerd, read through the journey of Harsh Srivastava in his very own words. Shifting the focus from our team for a moment, the world of F1 definitely keeps getting a lot more interesting with each race. With Checo extending his contract with Redbull & Carlos struggling to find a seat for 2025, the news of now Esteban Ocon terminating his contract with Alpine at the end of this season is not what anyone might have expected. With Hamilton already setting the stage on fire by taking his place at Ferrari, 2025 is definitely something that every F1 fan has got his eyes locked on. Finally, as the hearing goes, 'Saving the best till last', we are indeed glad to present Batemo GmbH as our featured sponsor for the month. Batemo combines the three technological assets of battery modeling, battery parameterization, and battery data, which not only makes their products unique worldwide but the Batemo Cell Explorer has been nothing short of a boon for us when it comes to cell modeling. We are truly grateful for their unwavering support in our journey. This is it from us for this edition. Stay tuned for further updates and don't forget to follow us here. Until then, Think. Dream.
