Earlier this month, as the Formula 1 United States Grand Prix roared into Circuit of the Americas (COTA), NMC² joined Atlassian Williams Racing at the Williams Fan Zone in Austin for an evening that celebrated the power of connection — between people, data, and performance.
Where Precision Meets People
Set against the excitement of race week at COTA, the event brought together students, engineers, and innovators to explore what happens when teamwork and technology operate in perfect sync. Guests enjoyed an engaging insight session and live Q&A with André Trotter, President of NMC², and Paul Williams, Chief Trackside Engineer at Atlassian Williams Racing.
Together, they shared perspectives on how collaboration, compute power, and data-driven decision-making fuel both race strategy and breakthroughs beyond the track.
“At NMC², we’re building the infrastructure that helps innovators push boundaries — in technology, in science, and even in sport.”
André Trotter, President, NMC²
“Whether it’s milliseconds on track or microseconds in compute, performance comes from teamwork, precision, and the relentless pursuit of better.”
Paul Williams, Chief Race Engineer, Atlassian Williams Racing
As the city of Austin pulsed with Grand Prix energy, the collaboration between NMC² and Atlassian Williams Racing highlighted how shared goals, connected systems, and collective expertise power performance — on the racetrack and far beyond it.
