As well as sponsoring the team, CDW provides networking and IT products to the RSPORTS team, equipment that allows the car's diagnostics to be monitored in real time. Engineers monitor information on engine temperature, fuel level, damper settings, and hundreds of other systems relayed from sensors placed throughout the chassis. During the race, the team congregates on the timing stand, monitoring six different LCD displays, each of which provides a separate set of data related to the car.
