Ben Ainslie Racing (BAR) has announced that it will be working with Red Bull Advanced Technologies (RBAT), a division of the Red Bull Formula One group, as it progresses with its campaign to claim the 35th America’s Cup.

Operating as a design house, RBAT is based in Milton Keynes.

Founded on the group’s impressive F1 DNA, which has resulted in eight Formula One World Championships in the last five seasons, RBAT excels in advanced simulation and mathematical modelling.

Sir Ben Ainslie said: “BAR are really excited to be partnering with Red Bull Advanced Technologies.

“We are in a unique position in this country, and this campaign is about assimilating the very best of British in design and engineering – RBAT epitomises this.”
