The announcement comes after an 18-month project where the KX streaming 
analytics platform was deployed across the entire Alpine F1 Team organization, 
in France for the power unit and in the UK for chassis and transmission. KX 
software is used to capture and analyze data across driver simulators, 
wind-tunnels, dynometers, telemetry instruments and sensors. With its 
ultra-high performance, extreme low latency and incredibly small footprint, the 
KX platform can capture, analyse, model and visualize track data faster than a 
live video stream can be broadcast from a race.

The KX logo will appear on Alpine F1 Team's garage environment, symbolising the 
official kick-off of this multi-year, multi-faceted relationship.

Laurent Rossi, Chief Executive Officer, Alpine: "We are delighted to welcome on 
board KX to the Alpine family. In a sport where winning is measured in 
fractions of a second, this partnership will help Alpine F1 Team perform ahead 
of the competition. We look forward to working with them as we collectively 
strive for greater performance in all areas."

Nathan Sykes, Business Systems and Data Science Director, IT Enstone, Alpine F1 
Team: "In such a highly technical and highly regulated sport, the ability to 
make faster and better decisions is a game changer. The relationship we have 
with KX has matured over the last few years and the power of their advanced 
sub-second analytics and maths engine running in our Azure cloud, has 
consolidated its position as our tool of choice for our holistic data science 
platform. KX delivers true end-to-end real-time analytics with unrivalled speed 
of data ingestion and capture, advanced modelling and predictive analysis as 
well as visualization of insights. This means we can spot and react to problems 
before they happen and identify opportunities to increase performance, all in 
milliseconds. We're already seeing significant benefits from using the KX 
platform and we're looking forward to scaling up the deployment to continue 
driving the team forward."

Gerry Buggy, Chief Strategy and Product Officer KX: "We are excited to be 
working with Alpine F1 Team to help them enhance on-track and operational 
performance through real-time data analytics. This partnership strengthens our 
existing relationship, and we look forward to developing the platform to drive 
on and off-track success."
