“In every boy there is a potential race car champion”

description

This presentation was delivered to the ICT Cluster community here in Auckland in Jan 2008 and describes the story behind the the SimDeck Formula One styled race car simulator developed by ICE AV Technology. NZ produces the world's best rugby players (generally !!), the best sailers and now the best Indy 500 race car drivers. (yes we won this morning ...thanks to Scott Dixon) We follow this unstoppable trend by creating the best Virtual Reality Formula race experience. Now we have now been nominated as the best team building activity in NZ for 2008 by the www.corporateventguide.co.nz here in NZ.

Our brand story….SimDeck.

Bruce McLaren, Stirling Moss, Boys Own,

Scouts, we had an innocence in our youth, mechano sets, we learnt to create our own fun. There was an naivety in our youth, life seemed so less complicated and our imaginations could explore what ever we could dream up. Biggles saved the world and Dexter Duxton amused us on each night on the radio from the BBC.
