Le Mans ’66. The Movie, motorsport and innovation …
I enjoyed watching the movie released on November 14th 2019 in Italy too.

The book inspired one of the chapters of my book focusing on Innovation and Motorsport “Innovation full throttle” and actually Ken Miles story (that leaves the movie’s plot) is the one to inspire the writing.
Representing RPM at the Motorsport Games 2019 in Rome!
It has been a pleasure to represent RPM network at the FIA Motorsport Games 2019 ( held in Rome and at the ACI Sport Vallelunga track from October 31st – November 3rd ) together with other companies and colleagues that are part of the network.

In particular it has been a great experience to follow the successful developments relevant to the Formula 4 KCMG developed by Ycom ( here a full Ycom report on this unique project ).
Motorsport and an international perspective on things are two key reference points to my professional and personal life and I felt right in my center there! Stay tuned for developments…

How motorsport firms easily leverage expertise and knowledge from and to other sectors
Motorsport engineering firms are well known for their technical expertise and project management skills, particularly in the latter case around their speed of working. Their technical expertise comes from dealing at the cutting edge of science and technology in areas as diverse as light-weighting, electronics and thermal management for example. Motorsport firms also exemplify leading edge project management capabilities given the rapid turnaround of the motorsport timetable. In this case the latest technical developments are needed not next year or next month, but usually the next week or even the next day,

An in depth qualitative and quantitative analysis is quite intriguing in lighting-up this way…
