Intel wanted to leverage their Formula 1 sponsorship and demonstrate how their technology drives success within the BMW Sauber racing team. We executed a global experiential platform that allowed F1 fans to got deeper into the sport by engaging first-hand with Intel technology.
In order to make the most of their new $40MM sponsorship with the BMW/Sauber team, Intel needed to differentiate themselves from the vast multitude of Formula One sponsors and find a meaningful way to engage with fans. The result was Intel’s “The Inside Track,” a unique, brand-driven experience that tapped into the F1 fan’s hunger for insider knowledge on this technology-fueled sport and put what is essentially an ingredient-product at center-stage.
At a traveling footprint that accompanied races the world over, interactive touch-screen tables, customized laptop kiosks and racing helmet-pods gave people exclusive access inside the F1 team and the technology behind it.

To highlight Intel’s exclusive access into the core of F1 racing, we produced two original films featuring team drivers Jacques Villeneuve and Nick Heidfeld, narrated by racing legend Martin Brundle.
