We’ve come up with a contest to get you to rev your engines in excitement for our partnership with McLaren and get some cool prizes. What prizes you may ask? Well, one's sort of a secret (hint: McLaren related). The other is a free ticket to Inspire 2022 in Denver, Colorado. USA!

 

Contest

 

The Drive to Survive series on Netflix has helped Formula 1’s popularity explode over the past few years. Now that Alteryx is a part of this great sport, it’s going to get even bigger! This series takes you behind the scenes of the Formula 1 season and gives an in-depth look at how these billion dollar teams compete with each other, show camaraderie, and the ups and downs of a Formula 1 season. 

 

Alteryx joined the McLaren team officially in the 2021 Monaco Grand Prix (hint) and was featured on the car the rest of the season. Your job, if you choose to participate, is to watch the new season of Driver To Survive, which covers the 2021 season, and post your answers to the questions below. Get all the answers right, and you are entered into a drawing, where you’ll receive the secret prize and a free ticket to the 2022 Inspire conference.

Bonus: I would tell Zak to ALTERYX ALL THE THINGS!!! ML/Ops for car design seems obvious, but what about measuring Marketing success? Operations automation and optimisation is always nice. Logistics optimisation with the spatial toolset. You could even run race strategy simulations with Analytics Apps if you tried hard enough..

If you were Zack Brown (CEO McLaren Racing) for a day. How would you use the Alteryx Platform to better the team? -- Analyze and identify the overheads/delay in each process. And then improve or rectify it before the next event 😎
