PINK SPARROW’s Post

We saw the Mercedes-AMG team use WhatsApp as one channel of communication when launching the new W15  challenger today. TikTok was part of the Aston Martin launch and McLaren have several apps to use when communicating with fans especially. We have now a bunch of the most hyped and also used social media and tech apps in Formula 1 2024. McLaren is the undisputed Tech-Team in Formula 1 2024. This sector is a Trend in Formula 1 2024. #mercedesamgf1 #mclarenracing #formula1

Last week, I came across the captivating artwork promoting the launch of the Infinix Hot 40 series, instantly immersing me in the thrilling world of the recently concluded Formula 1 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix that was won by Max Verstappen, a Belgian and Dutch racing driver who secured the titles of World Champion in 2021, 2022, and 2023 while racing under the Dutch flag for Red Bull in Formula One. Although many of you are familiar with the iconic Lewis Hamilton of Mercedes, my focus today shifts away from Formula 1 despite my appreciation for the aesthetic outfits and the Mercedes cap. Instead, let's explore the brilliance of the Infinix Hot 40 series launch concept and its well-timed introduction. As the saying goes, "creativity knows no boundaries as long as the message reaches." The showcased artwork perfectly embodies this sentiment. Allow me to briefly break down this narrative. Racing cars are renowned for their high speed and reliability; qualities that align with the discerning needs of mobile phone users. In the pursuit of swift, reliable connections, good camera quality and performance, long-lasting battery life, expansive storage, and rapid processing speeds which are key features of the Infinix Hot 40 Series. This makes the excitement of track racing events becomes evident. Just as the thrill of track racing appeals to enthusiasts, the promise of a fun-filled user experience generates curiosity of the possession of the Infinix Hot 40 Series. Kudos to the Infinix and carlcare service center marketing team for conceiving this brilliant concept of launching the #InfinixHot40 Series on a race track. Their approach presented through a racing perspective, effectively communicates how the phone's key features will satisfy customer needs. How does this concept resonate with you? Share your thoughts in the comment section.

🚨 Do you have WhatsApp? That's great. 👇 The Formula 1 car has it too. 🏁 What a brilliant idea straight from the paddock 🏁 🔴 Confirmed The push-to-talk 📻 radio button on Mercedes F1 steering wheels will be replaced with the WhatsApp logo. The integration of a dedicated #WhatsApp button within the W15 cockpit signals a shift towards real-time, in-race communication and fan engagement opportunities. This move builds upon the successful integration of tech sponsorships in Formula 1, such as McLaren's previous partnership with #Google #Chrome. 🎯 My score: 10/10 What an outstanding concept. A small #logo associated with everyday communication appears in a twin form in the most technologically advanced environment in sports, yet still retaining its full "communicative" identity. 🔘 🗨 Delightful.

Belum cuba Belum tahu. (If you haven't tried, you wouldn't know) Sometimes we are hesitant to try something new. Cause sometimes we just write it off as not relevant, too much hassle, not so practical etc. Was browsing through some of my older photos. This was 3 years ago when I signed up for a SIM racing program run by Axle Motorsport, hosted by Malaysia's very own former F1 Driver Alex. It was a unique driving program that taught us the basics of driving, racing etc. Then a majority of the session was putting the knowledge to test on the simulators. And these aren't the same like the games on Playstation or PCs, it was the next level up with force feedback, the brakes were heavy and the realism was next level. Together with me, were a few actual race car drivers who were curious and wanted to give it a go. I was peeking around and seeing how they were doing. "It's not the same" "I can't feel the car and it's hard to adjust my driving" "it's just on the screen and I feel strange" I felt the same way too at first, but then realized how the simulator was very focused on other details - setup, track knowledge, practice without worry 😅 So. 3+ years on. Simulators are so critical that to get on track, the Sims are a prerequisite! Most teams want you to have done Sims before getting on track. Which I agree 👍 Yes, it may not be the same. But you can prepare yourself for the real thing and the knowledge you will gain is immense. So what's the learning point here. Sometimes something new may seem irrelevant now. You just have to give it a try cause you never know how it could be useful and applicable for you in the future! I love trying new things and hopefully I remain curious and excited on new ideas in the future too (cannot be too pessimistic 😅) Anything new you've tried before that helped you improve what you do? #simulation #tryingnewthings #curiosity #personaldevelopment #theincompleteleader

During the 24 Hours of Daytona, the iRacing.com team was spotted scanning new cars, hinting at future additions. Among the speculations, two new American GT3 cars: Chevrolet and Ford are expected.

This shows the capabilities of the community of sim racing to create real racing content even before cars hit the track in real life. 🌐🏎️ 𝗚𝗧 𝗦𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝟭.𝟲𝟵 𝗨𝗽𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗲 - 𝗘𝗻𝗱 𝗼𝗳 𝗮𝗻 𝗘𝗿𝗮 𝗢𝗻𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲 GT Sport Update 1.69 marked the end of an online era, with the suspension of the game's online services on January 31, 2024.

Indeed, Nacon is not on its first project on the sim racing side - they were for years the official WRC game developers, and pioneered the Esports WRC scene. 🌟 𝗧𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗗𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗨𝗻𝗹𝗶𝗺𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗦𝗼𝗹𝗮𝗿 𝗖𝗿𝗼𝘄𝗻: 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗻!

The launch of Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown (TDU SC) was marred by server problems, preventing players from enjoying the game despite their pre-orders. This highlights the limits of the “always online” model, where access to the game depends entirely on server availability. This situation rekindles the debate on the usefulness of guaranteeing offline modes, especially for games whose single-player mode is just as attractive. ♿𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝗮 𝗥𝗮𝗰𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗔𝗰𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗺𝘆: 𝗜𝗻𝗰𝗹𝘂𝘀𝗶𝘃𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗶𝗻 𝗦𝗶𝗺 𝗥𝗮𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴  Quatermass Motorsport launches the Para Racers Academy, an innovative initiative aimed at making sim racing accessible to people with disabilities.
