This 2015, MSI takes its first step into involvement in motor racing through a technical partnership with Liam Talbot Racing who is preparing for this year’s prestigious Blancpain Endurance Series.
MSI believes that they share the same passion and vision with LTR. That is to be the best in its field.
Through this partnership, the new MSI GE62 Gaming Notebooks are provided to the team to ensure off-track analysis of on-track performance works efficiently. With tons of data in the shape of video recordings, photos and telemetry being processed every weekend, there will of course be large amount of data involved, and compact, reliable and high performance devices will be definitely needed. That’s where MSI comes in as the GE62 Gaming notebooks are well-equipped for the tasks.
“The mobility of the system is something that helps massively, as we travel around a lot. Every gram saved is worth its weight in gold when you travel as much as we do. I use it for video analysis and telemetry, and having MSI on board streamlines our trackside process a lot. We also came out with the class victory here at Monza, and we couldn’t have done it without MSI,”

MSI ticked all the boxes and then some! I couldn’t be happier with the partnership,” explains David Hardman, Team Director at LTR.
“Team LTR are professionals, and everything is about pushing limits and maximizing performance. There are a lot of touching points between our Gaming notebooks and racing if you think of it – we’re trying to eke out maximum performance while also keeping the weight down. We provided LTR a couple of GE62s that perfectly encapsulates this philosophy, and we’re extremely happy to be part of LTR’s 2015 season. Also, a lot of visibility for the MSI brand on the #111 car, paired with pole position and a class win at Monza makes us highly excited for the rest of the season and our future cooperation,” ends Jonas Klar, Marketing Manager at MSI Notebook.
The 2015 racing season with Liam Talbot Racing and MSI will see further projects such as a racing simulator being built around the MSI GT72 notebook being put to use for data analysis, in addition to a full Blancpain Endurance Series campaign.
