>From what I was told from talking to the on-site IT guy for Caterham, all teams are provide an MPLS connection back to their respective factory. I seem to recall was an insanely small connection for what is the "pinnacle of motorsports"... something like 4mbit or so. Admittedly this was input from only one team, and a "lower tier" team at that. This was also last year (2011). I remember being distinctly surprised at the relatively low amount of bandwidth they were provided at the track. Tom Walsh
