Andretti Global Car Testing for INDYCAR 2026--Detroit Grand Prix-Banner

Siemens & Andretti Global at the Detroit Grand Prix

Before a racecar turns a wheel, our software has already predicted how it will perform. For 28 years, that same technology has been a key competitive edge behind Andretti Global’s racecars—and it's available to the world's most demanding factory floors.

28 years, one platform, and zero margin for error

Siemens is Andretti Global's longest-standing partner—and its official software technology provider. Their racecars are built on the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio: a digital ecosystem that models the car, simulates its designs, tests its components, and predicts its performance before production begins.

Taking a virtual approach reduces physical prototypes and accelerates innovation. Andretti Global uses Siemens Xcelerator to achieve an 80-percent reduction in engineering analysis time, allowing them to pivot designs faster than competitors while solving complex physics problems with real-time data.

Andretti Global’s drivers can then hit the track armed with the knowledge of how well a racecar performed in simulations. This is confidence that is engineered—not assumed—for the 2026 Detroit Grand Prix.

Predict performance before production

Siemens digital twin technology creates a physics-based model of Andretti Global’s racecars to predict performance in the virtual world—reducing reliance on physical test track runs and enabling real-time, data-driven decisions.

Simulate and solve failures before they’re real

By simulating thousands of "what-if" scenarios, from extreme thermal stress to sudden aerodynamic shifts, Andretti Global engineers can identify and mitigate failures in the virtual world before they can occur in the physical one.

Synchronize across every location

Siemens Teamcenter serves as the Single Source of Truth, keeping trackside crews and HQ engineers fully in sync. When conditions change, everyone knows immediately—enabling real-time, data-driven decisions at race speed.

From trackside agility to factory uptime

Predict on the track, prevent on the production line

The AI-driven analytics Siemens uses to predict component wear at the Detroit Grand Prix are the same tools used for predictive maintenance on manufacturing assembly lines. These analytics eliminate unplanned downtime and maximize asset performance. Same model. Same logic. Just a different environment.

The digital platform built for the extreme

The same tools available to Andretti Global are available to manufacturers worldwide. Siemens NX designs components optimized for weight and durability at over 200 mph—and can set the gold standard for industrial hardware design. Simcenter's high-fidelity physics-based simulation provides the real-time data needed for critical adjustments.

Efficiency and resilience are the same goal

By optimizing fuel maps and material usage for Andretti Global, Siemens proves that performance and sustainability reinforce each other. The operational discipline that makes a racecar fast can also make a manufacturing operation lean. Less waste. Faster decisions. The same outcome: competitive performance.

Flashback to Detroit 2025: Victory for Andretti Global

Driving the Siemens-sponsored No. 27 car last year, Andretti Global driver Kyle Kirkwood built on an earlier win in the Streets of Long Beach course to race to an outstanding victory at the 2025 Detroit Grand Prix, finishing 3.59-seconds ahead of second place, having led for 48 of the 100 laps of the Detroit road course.
