To add to that, the pinnacle of motorsport, F1 uses Linux for its
internal systems. AMD Opteron's working in a grid, comprised of
several hundreds computing nodes running on linux in an attempt
to advance Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) calculations, which
is a critical factor complementing aerodynamics testing... (The
telemetry transmits 100+ MB of data per lap * total no of ~70 laps
at around ~80+ seconds per lap, The DAS systems) Some data!

As a side note, these systems were first used by Ferrari and Sauber
(BMW-Sauber), brought in line by their technology partner AMD (now
the official technology partner for FIA), running on Linux.
