Jaguar TCS Racing, the British racing team, has named Google Cloud as its Official Cloud Partner for the 2024/25 season. This partnership will use Google Cloud’s artificial intelligence (AI) and cloud technologies to improve the team’s performance on and off the track. By analyzing real-time data from their Jaguar I-Type 6 race car, the team’s engineers and drivers can make better decisions during races. This gives Jaguar TCS Racing an advantage in the all-electric ABB FIA Formula E World Championship.
