Speed. Prestige. Innovation. 

Few sporting properties command attention quite like Formula One. With sold-out races, luxury brand partnerships, celebrity audiences, and rapidly growing popularity in the United States, Formula One has become a case study in modern marketing success. Meanwhile, Formula E is redefining how brands engage consumers through technology, sustainability, and innovation. 

Join Professor T. Bettina Cornwell, Philip H. Knight Chair in Marketing and head of the marketing department at the Lundquist College of Business, for an inside look at the forces driving the growth of formula racing. Together, we'll explore how brands build value through sport, why Formula One has captured the American imagination, and what formula racing reveals about the future of fan engagement.
