WILLIAMS RACING: Corporate Event with Acronis 27th June 2022
We were back at Williams today for the Acronis Freeplay Event. As the name suggests it was freeplay on the simulators and our giant Scalextric track at the Williams Experience Centre. In February 2021 Williams Racing announced an extension to its multi-year partnership with Acronis, a global leader in cyber protection. Acronis will continue as Official Cyber Protection Partner of the Williams Racing team, building on their previous partnership and delivering innovative data protection solutions, including backup, disaster recovery, software-defined storage, and file sync and share to the team.
At todays Freeplay Event we had some fun, fast and at times, crazy racing from Acronis’ guests with Carl getting the top spot with a 8.356 seconds and Greg getting a close second with 8.851 seconds.
Now who’s looking forward to Silverstone? I know we are!!

TEAM BUILDING
– THE WILLIAMS EXPERIENCE
The Williams Experience is design to recreate an authentic race atmosphere, with all of the roles available in an actual race contributing to the team outcome.
Using authentic equipment from the Williams Racing Team, each delegate will assume a role that is important in contributing towards the team’s overall performance and subsequent success during practice and during a live race scenario.
Not only will the team experience the pressures of an actual race team, but will also be able to recognise individual strengths and weaknesses, and learn how to overcome the challenges they face under pressure and as a team.
This team event takes place in our drivers suites and can accommodate up to 100 people. Alternatively this can be run off site for larger numbers.
– THE GAMES ROOM EXPERIENCE
This experience offers a scheduled rotation around the Williams Games room. Groups of 10 will be guided around the various activities during their visit. Each activity will generate a score, in which this can be recorded for either individual or team merit.
ACTIVITIES
– GIANT SCALEXTRIC
Using our bespoke giant four-lane Scalextric track that we built for Williams F1 Racing, the guests will be entertained from start to finish in an absorbing, highly competitive format which can be tailored to the numbers and bespoke requirements of the event. Ideal as a structured team building activity or as informal entertainment during networking and social events.
– F1 PLAYSEAT SIMULATORS
Race head to head on F1 style driving simulators. Complete with the latest pedal system and steering wheel along with force feedback the guests will experience an authentic and exciting race experience.
– PIT STOP CHALLENGE
The ultimate test of teamwork, our Williams Pit Stop challenge suits a vast number of event applications. Replicating an actual Formula 1 Pit Stop, the challenge is a true test of skill, co-ordination and teamwork.
With the choice of either a full or half car complete with Williams’ own livery, electric powered guns and genuine Pirelli tyres. Groups of up to 16 participants assume the roles of the Williams team and compete for the fastest Pit Stop.
The half car Pit Stop is run in Williams own games room, whereas the full car Pit Stop can take place both onsite or offsite of the conference centre.
