Happy Friday!

Last week our live auction of the Datsun 240Z at the Driven Auto Show couldn’t have gone any better..

The auction had a 20 minute bidding war and during that time Phil had a crowd of people gathered around the car, all enjoying the action from their phones and getting hyped for every bid - it even turned out that the winning bidder was one of those people in the crowd!

Having an event such as Driven Auto Show using our software & network to run an auction activation was pretty awesome, and we look forward to sharing some new partner announcements very, very soon….

Thanks again for all the support!

Formula 1

The Grandstand with Daniel Ricciardo and Will Arnett

Yes, that’s the name of the new Formula 1 broadcast on ESPN and yes, you’ve read that correctly - Daniel Ricciardo is pairing up with one of the funniest men on television, Will Arnett, to broadcast Formula 1.

The former Red Bull driver and the comedic TV star have teamed up to make everything silly. The two have a limited run of broadcasts set for the 2023 season, which only covers the remaining events on this side of the pond (Canada, COTA & Vegas).

As weird as the duo might sound for broadcasting, Danny Ricc is beloved in the Paddock and Will Arnett is just flat out hilarious - so expect some fireworks at the very least 😂

Next race: Canadian GP - Sunday, June 18th @ 2pm EST
