Case Study: Renault Sport Formula One Team achieves faster race-car development and real-time insights with Microsoft Dynamics 365

Renault Sport Formula One Team uses data to make rapid changes for an even faster race car

Renault Sport Formula One Team, a 510‑employee F1 constructor based in the UK and France, faces extreme speed and innovation demands: parts must be designed, manufactured, and turned around in about 24 hours while cars stream real‑time data from 200+ sensors (≈20,000 virtual channels) across 21 global races. Aging, siloed systems made it hard to process that volume of data and act quickly between races.

The team moved to cloud‑based Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Operations, Power BI, and Azure Machine Learning to centralize data, automate ERP processes, build real‑time dashboards, and run simulator‑driven predictions. The changes cut reporting time from a week to a few hours, eliminated data‑access bottlenecks, improved cross‑team visibility and decision speed, and enabled faster, more informed design and race‑day adjustments for a competitive performance edge.
