The d.tuned Racing Team, owned by the
Trinidad-based d. group, employs 120 people, from janitors to
aerodynamicists, each playing an integral part in the day-to day
operations of the team. Each of its
employees are properly examined prior to being admitted into the
organisation to ensure they possess the necessary common sense required
to perform what is required of them.
The team travels with 45 members of staff to each
and every track on the CWGT circuit, 20 of these individuals are
responsible for handling, transporting, disassembling and reassembling
the car, as well as changing tyres and refuelling during the race. 10
are the technical staff, who analyse the car's telemetry to diagnose
problems and help fix them, as well as tuning the car at the track.
Another 5 are d.tuned's in-house culinary experts who, coupled with the
5 Personal Relations Officers, are responsible for entertaining the
team's guests and sponsors.
The next 5 are some of the more important parts of
the equation. The primary race car driver, the reserve, in the event of
an illness or injury befalling the primary driver. Next are the
team's two baggage-boys, who carry the rest of the team's stuff to and
fro, preventing exhaustion of the other members of the team. Last, but
not least, of d.tuned's road staff is the team's mascot: Squirrelzilla.
70 Members of d.tuned Racing never leave Trinidad.
40 highly skilled employees are split between the aerodynamic and
mechanical departments of d.tuned, while another 5 are specially
assigned to the Engine Management and Analysis Department. d.tuned also
has 15 Personal Relations Officers who are responsible for securing
sponsorship and forming strategic business alliances for the team. 8
others, and the 2 test drivers also remain in the country testing the
car's response to updates that d.tuned's Research and Development Team
(RDT) produce.
The final 5 in d.tuned's organisation are the
dedicated janitors who clean our crap at the end of the day. |
