Yesterday, the sun was shining as Team Williams Manufacturing made the annual trip to the Festival of Speed, always one of the best days of the year! 🌞 💜 A focal point this year was "Horseless to Hybrid" 🐎 ➡ 🔋 to celebrate the evolution of motorsport - as always the festival was a true showcase of the advancement of #engineering in all things #automotive over the years. The Goodwood Group The Best of British Manufacturers were on display as well as many car manufacturers who have manufacturing, production and assembly sites in the UK. JLR Bentley Motors McLaren Automotive Ltd Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Land Rover UK Aston Martin Lagonda Ltd Group Lotus BMW Group Nissan Motor Corporation We enjoyed a fantastic performance from Royal Air Force (RAF) Red Arrows, which never disappoints and is always a personal highlight ❤️ DID YOU KNOW ❓ ▪ The UK car manufacturing industry employs over 198,000 who are directly involved in #production however the bigger picture is that the total number of people employed across the wider #automotive industry is around 813,000 according to the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT). ▪ The car manufacturing industry is a major contributor to the UK economy, generating billions in revenue and exports. Always a great day out and always proud to supply to British manufacturing, Philippa 📩 [email protected] #goodwoodfos #automotive #ukmanufacturing #britishmanufacturing #carmanufacturing #production #employment #electricavenue #rafredarrows #hybridvehicles #f1 #ukeconomy

Today I took on the challenge of assembling a Torque Tank alone in a Mercedes-Benz car park. It was a test of patience and resilience, reflecting the daily unexpected hurdles we face in business. Great learning experience in improvisation and adaptation! #TaylorMadeChaos #GymDesign #FunctionalTraining #TorqueFitness #FitnessEquipment #FitIntoshape #DontQuitEver #FunctionalTraining #FunctionalFitness

Great article here by #jeremyclarkson - worth a read. It’s not just Porsche. Almost every car I have driven with these “safety features” has tried to kill me or others at some stage. I particularly like the way, when you move right to give a cyclist more room, the wheel jerks left and the car tries to run them over. Or the way it tries to follow the studs left on the motorway from old road works and steer straight under the nearest articulated lorry. https://lnkd.in/eqh4W8sD

This article shares how in the early 1950s, Mercedes-Benz sought new sales strategies in the post-war era, leveraging its racing experience to enhance its car lineup. The 300SL Gullwing, derived from the victorious W194 race car, was introduced, but its high price made it a niche product. To appeal to a broader market, Mercedes launched the 190SL. Priced more affordably and based on the Ponton W120 sedan, it still featured race-inspired technology like independent suspension on all four wheels. Mercedes initially created a few 190SL prototypes with the Gullwing's 3.0-liter inline-six engine. However, the production models sold between 1955 and 1963 were equipped with a more modest 1.9-liter inline-four engine (the M121). This engine shared the 300SL's 85-mm cylinder bore but had two fewer cylinders.

In the 30 years since the tragic deaths of Ayrton Senna and Roland Ratzenberger at the 1994 San Marino Grand Prix, the world of Formula 1 has undergone a transformative journey in safety and high reliability. This period has served as a pivotal chapter in motorsports, fundamentally reshaping the approach to safety protocols, vehicle design, and track safety. The immediate aftermath of the accidents was marked by a collective call to action. The FIA, Formula 1's governing body, initiated a series of rigorous enhancements to both cars and circuits. This drive was emblematic of the reactive resilience necessary to respond to tragedies. It exemplifies how organizations can mobilize swiftly and effectively to address the immediate risks and vulnerabilities exposed by catastrophic events. Over the years, this reactive stance evolved into a more adaptive and innovative approach. Formula 1 has embraced cutting-edge technology not only to improve performance but also to enhance safety measures. The introduction of features like the HANS device (Head and Neck Support device), safer barrier systems, and the halo cockpit protection system are testaments to the sport's commitment to driver safety. These innovations reflect a fundamental shift from merely reacting to incidents towards a proactive anticipation of potential safety issues. Moreover, Formula 1's journey mirrors the transformation seen in high reliability organizations (HROs) which operate under high-risk conditions but achieve a higher safety level. These organizations maintain a relentless commitment to safety as a core operational principle. Formula 1’s continuous refinement of safety standards and protocols, rigorous testing regimes, and the integration of feedback loops into safety practices underscore its status as an HRO. This ongoing commitment to safety has not only safeguarded the lives of drivers but has also enhanced the sport's credibility and public image. It demonstrates the potential for resilience and transformation within organizations, highlighting how a blend of adaptive resilience and innovative capacity can pivot a sector from the depths of tragedy to new heights of safety and reliability. As we look back over these three decades, the legacy of Senna and Ratzenberger continues to influence the sport. Their memory serves as a continual reminder of the importance of safety, driving relentless progress that ensures the horrors of 1994 are never repeated. This narrative is a profound example of how tragedy can catalyze a lasting culture of safety and innovation, resonating across generations and industries. #Performance #Transformation #HighReliability #PsychologicalSafety #SustainableWorkplaces

For my racing, track day and off-road colleagues - What do you see as the most pressing need in the racing and off-road safety market today? Is it the proper implementation of UTV 5-6 point harnesses and fire systems, the continuous evolution of driver suits and helmets, or something else? What stands out as the most critical safety issue in your opinion?
