Okuma on the Fast Track

 

At IMTS, Okuma announced that it is teaming with Ganessi Racing Teams for the 2011 IZOD IndyCar and Grand-Am Rolex Car Series season. It stands to reason that successful auto racing demands good machine tools. The Indianapolis-based race teams will use Okuma CNC machining technology to manufacture critical parts for the race cars. The pressure is on the guys running these machines (shown above) because this racing team has accumulated more than 100 wins across Indy car and sports car racing circuits. As these cars speed around their respective tracks, try to catch the Okuma logo as it blurs past the TV camera.
