First season of racing complete. It had everything from extreme highs and extreme lows. A class win, multiple trophies, lots of learning, great competition, mechanical challenges and of course a scary crash. 🙄 The question people often ask is, 'Why go racing?' There are many reasons not do. Cost, safety, time, ego, environmental impact, business relevance... There are however, many positive reasons that far outweigh the negatives: Product development: Both car and driver were fitted with multiple prototype Bluetooth/ANT+ sensors, detecting everything from heart rate, R-R intervals, temperature and sheer force Nm on suspension components. RF engineers will understand the challenges of broadcasting 2.4GHz around large solid objects. Try doing this on a car travelling 120+ MPH in torrential rain with extreme vibration. Teamwork: I could never have raced on my own. You need a team. Led by former racer, Callum MacGregor and chartered engineer Henry Stephens MEng CEng MIMechE, the team kept the car in top shape, making intricate setup adjustments from my feedback and making last minute strategy calls that resulted in a class win. The cliché 'you win and lose as a team' is so true. Networking: Possibly the most overused business phrase. We didn't go racing to make a name for ourselves or join a network of motorsport professionals. Yet, in one season we formed close relationships and learnt from people in different industries and have started a R&D project with an established motorsports facility (more on than to come). All because we shared a common interest. Competition: There is nothing more competitive than business, even racing. We face increased competition from larger/lower cost OEMs every year. Sometimes its good to remind yourself how important competition is. You don't just want to beat your competition, but also learn from them, respect what they do well, drive motivation, understand how they overcome similar challenges and ultimately remember - healthy competition is good.

There is no motorsport in the world that provides the sensory experience like NHRA: Championship Drag Racing. The market research conducted for my fans shows that 82% will make a buying decision based on whether a business has partnered with my team. Big things are coming for Right2Breathe and our outreach to the NHRA fanbase, so now is the time to get involved before it's too late. If you are interested in bringing your brand to a responsive audience, let's talk soon. #sorrynotsorry #bestvalueinsportsmarketing #makeadifference

I love how this article that our DCI team placed ties in a well-known sports entity and how its investment in a city can impact an entire economy by attracting complementary industries, residents and visitors. A tri-fecta of place marketing success. We know that sports tourism is one of the fastest growing sectors in attracting leisure visitors, and we also know through Development Counsellors International's proprietary research that a potential workforce likes to visit a place first before relocation. So here's a quick tip when it comes to #talentattraction marketing: If you want to elevate your region as a great place to live and do business, don't be afraid to leverage the brand reputation of your sports teams and the development they bring to your economy. It's a winning combination. (Also...if I was more sports inclined I'd probably have a better pun... please don't tell my husband, who played college baseball, how woefully ignorant I am with these types of analogies:) #econdev #economicdevelopment

Finally, a Race Director who truly understands what drivers need to feel safe and compete in a fair environment! 🏁🙌 George Russell was full of praise for Rui Marques, saying: "Sincerely, the impressions are positive. We went through a time where our feedback was heard, but very little would change. Now, for example, many drivers talked about track limits at Turn 4. We felt that on a street circuit, it was a bit unnecessary, and he made a change in no time. That’s what drivers want. We all want to be heard, and we want action immediately. So far, it’s been positive." Carlos Sainz also shared his appreciation, starting with how challenging the role of Race Director is: "From the very first weekend, he has been really good. Yesterday’s drivers' meeting was the best in a long time. We also asked for changes at the pit lane entry to make the line more visible because we couldn’t see it, which worried us. Today, we arrive on the track, and the entry line has been widened with a blue strip, and we all liked it. A nice change with a very good approach. The way we were listened to yesterday was very positive, and it makes me happy." It’s refreshing to see such proactive and driver-focused leadership in F1. Marques is setting a fantastic example, and I hope this trend continues. Here's to a safer and more competitive future in the sport! 🚀👏 #F1 #Motorsport #SafetyFirst
