V8 Supercar races in Australia feature onboard Linux-based computers and wireless technology that sends information on crashes to officials

Linux-based computer systems are being placed on board V8 Supercars to provide visual information on crashes and relay the data to officials over a wireless network.

The systems are central to a programme undertaken by organisers of V8 Supercar racing in Australia to obtain more information about Supercar crashes, in the hopes of reducing the number of incidents at races.
