Indy Driver Uses iPad for Real-Time Race Stats

Indy driver Tony Kanaan is among the first professional athletes to integrate an iPad into his workflow. Indycar.com blogger Daniel Incandela noticed Mr. Kanaan holding an iPad during a pitstop, posted an image on Flickr, and then followed it up with a video interview posted to YouTube (see below).

In the video, Mr. Kanaan explains that his engineering team developed a custom app that displays real-time race information and stats so that he can quickly get updated during his pitstops. As he was speaking, he decided that what he really needed was a pocket in his car so that he can pull the iPad out himself, rather than his team having to take the split second to hand it to him.
