Sennheiser has partnered with FAZZT Race Team and driver Alex Tagliani to adapt its wireless audio technologies for use in communications between driver and crew.
“Communication is everything during a race," said Martin Vigneault, business director for Sennheiser Communications products at Sennheiser Canada. "If the driver can't hear the pit or if the pit can't hear the driver, the race is as good as lost. We are working with the FAZZT Race Team to bring our industry-leading microphone, headphone, and wireless technology to IndyCar."
A specialized headset for Tagliani is under development that will conform to Indy Racing League safety rules, which require that earbuds contain G force monitors.
"Sennheiser's sponsorship of Tagliani and the FAZZT Race Team is fitting as there is symmetry between our unending push for excellence and theirs," said Jean Langlais, president of Sennheiser Canada. "IndyCar is a technology-driven sport, where success depends not only on the skills and instincts of the driver, but also on the pinnacle of automotive technology on which the driver relies.
“Indeed, much of the safety and performance advances in street cars originated with IndyCar. Sennheiser is an engineer-driven company, and we have led the professional and consumer audio industries in microphone, headphone, and wireless technologies for the better part of a century."
