Matt Stone Racing is pleased to announce a new collaboration with Red Hat, bringing together two organisations united by a shared commitment to delivering performance where it matters most. While one operates at over 280km/h on the racetrack and the other powers mission-critical technology across industries, both recognise that success is driven by real-time data, rapid adaptability and resilient systems that perform under pressure. The collaboration also reflects a mutual passion for supporting the Australian Defence Force, where secure, software-defined platforms and advanced computing are essential to delivering results in highly dynamic environments. Matt Stone Racing has worked extensively with the Army for many years, and we’re proud to now expand our relationship with the ADF to include Red Hat.
The collaboration between MSR and Red Hat illustrates how the technologies that create a winning edge in motorsport—real-time analytics, resilient software platforms and continuous innovation—also enable the Australian Defence Force to deliver mission assurance in the most demanding environments,” commented Brendan Hawke, Red Hat. “Whether on a Supercar or a Defence platform, the ability to process data at the edge and make informed decisions in real time is critical to achieving the best possible outcomes.
Matt Stone, Team Owner of Matt Stone Racing, said the collaboration was a natural fit. “Our team lives in an environment where every millisecond counts and reliability is everything. Collaborating with Red Hat aligns us with a global technology leader that shares our focus on innovation, adaptability and high-performance execution, while also highlighting how the lessons learned in elite motorsport can support broader applications in mission-critical environments such as the Australian Defence Force.
The Red Hat branding will feature on the No.10 Bendix Racing Camaro from Round 7 of the Supercars Championship onwards.
