Gary brings a wealth of relevant content and case studies to helping students understanding marketing in Formula 1. This course has facilitated an excitement to go beyond the course material and understand how I might fit into this sport. A special note, the homework assignment were deliberately engaging and insightful - not something you see everday!

Although, as an Automotive Engineer, I don't have much interest in marketing, management, statistics, and that stuff. But in Brazil, many universities have some modules related to that in their engineering programs, so I was already familiarized with it. And, if you are at this field of study and want to understand how marketing works in motorsport and F1, you must take this course. Gary is fantastic, very kind, and very experienced. Basically, I couldn't expect less from Motorsport Engineer Thank you, Luiz.
Great course!
