Case Study: Renault Sport Formula One Team achieves faster insights and streamlined manufacturing operations with Microsoft Dynamics 365

Formula One racing team accelerates innovation and operations using Office 365

Renault Sport Formula One Team, based in Enstone, UK, designs and builds Renault’s Formula One chassis and transmissions and must innovate continuously to win. The team faces complex challenges: rebuilding cars each season, managing about 15,000 drawings and 4,000 components, processing roughly 35 billion telemetry data points per race weekend from 200+ sensors per car, and protecting high-value IP while coordinating engineers across sites and race locations.

To meet those needs the team adopted Microsoft Office 365 E5 with Exchange Online, SharePoint/OneDrive, Power BI, Dynamics 365 for Operations, Azure Machine Learning, and advanced security tools. The result: real-time Power BI dashboards and self-service Q&A that speed decision-making and work‑order planning, improved simulation and tire-degradation modeling via Azure ML, tighter data controls and threat detection, and better remote collaboration (plus a Skype for Business telephony POC)—delivering faster insights, stronger security, and more efficient race preparation.
