I genuinely love working for this company and the people that are in it. We work hard, but we also know how to play hard! (I am considering giving some written warnings for those that tried to run me off the go kart track though....)
As we wrapped up another financial year, our Leadership and Sales team took some time to reflect on the year's achievements and express our gratitude for everyone’s hard work. Though our end-of-year celebration was a bit delayed, we made up for it with an action-packed day of Go-Kart Racing and Laser Tag at Game Over, Helensvale! The competitive spirit was in full swing, and we may have enjoyed the laser battles a bit too much. After all, nothing says 'team building' like a little friendly fire! #teambuilding

#11 Christopher Medford - I genuinely believe that the most effective way to inject some excitement and unpredictability into the Formula One paddock is by fostering more competition among teams that operate independently, without any affiliations or connections to other teams.
The presence of secondary teams, often referred to as 'Team 2' or 'B teams', can undermine the competitive spirit of the sport. While I'm not suggesting that teams shouldn't be allowed to purchase engines or other components from more established teams, I do think that the current setup can hinder drivers' ability to compete freely against all opponents.
This is primarily because team orders might be issued to ensure that smaller, affiliated teams don't upset the strategic plans or standings of their larger, parent organisations. For example, we often see situations where a driver from a 'B team' might be subtly influenced to hold back against a driver from the main team, especially if the latter is in contention for the championship.
Such dynamics can prevent races from being truly competitive spectacles, where every driver is free to challenge every other driver on the grid, without any considerations beyond their own team's success. In essence, a more level playing field, where each team is an independent entity, could lead to more thrilling races and a more engaging championship.

With this weekend’s #USGrandPrix at Circuit of The Americas - a personal favourite of Tom Millen - he looks back at the growth of the sport Stateside since he started working at the event.
“Formula 1’s rise in the US is a masterclass in the power of storytelling. For over 8 years, I worked with F1 teams thanks to KLH, and remember a time when the sport catered mostly to purists—people like me, who love the stats and data.
Back then, F1 struggled to gain a foothold in the US market. From the chaos of the Indianapolis GP, where only six cars raced, a five-year hiatus, to eventually finding a home in Austin, Texas, the sport just seemingly connecting with American audiences.
Back at the start, I’d stand next to an F1 car at events, and the first question I’d get was, “What’s Formula 1?” Maybe they’d heard of Lewis Hamilton, but that was it. I was even at an event with a former F1 world champion, and hardly anyone recognised him.
Then Netflix launched ‘Drive to Survive’, and it was a game-changer. Now, millions of fans know all 20 drivers, the teams, the cars, and the rivalries. It’s still the same sport, but the fanbase has exploded.
Sure, some purists argue that some of the storytelling hypes up drama, but it’s hard to deny the impact. Now, we have more people to share our passion with. For instance, this coming US Grand Prix is sold out with over 400,000 attendees.
For those new fans, though, the best part is yet to come. There’s a whole history they’ve yet to uncover— Fangio, Ascari, Hunt, Lauda, Senna, Prost, Mansell, Schumacher, Hakkinen, Alonso, Hamilton... and so many more legends. I’m honestly a bit jealous—they get to discover it all for the first time.”

NASCAR Chicago 2024: Excitement vs. Commute Challenges
The excitement for NASCAR Chicago 2024 is already palpable, but it's not without its challenges. Road closures and increasing traffic are making commutes tougher, and parking restrictions in the city are adding to the inconvenience. Despite these hurdles, the anticipation and energy surrounding the event make it all worthwhile.
