Our final race weekend at the Music City Grand Prix was an adrenaline-pumping experience that perfectly blended speed, technology, and unforgettable moments. It was a weekend full of thrills, camaraderie, and lightning-fast Wi-Fi in Nashville. Here’s a rundown of the highlights:
Romain Grosjean's Inside View
Fans were treated to a unique perspective during the race as Romain Grosjean took to the track with an in-car camera. Also visible was the rotating halo designed in collaboration with Seamless Digital, with customizable digital display which encircled Romain during the race (including the DNSFilter logo). It was the first of its kind! This exclusive view offered a heart-racing glimpse into what it’s like behind the wheel of the No. 77 Chevrolet as Grosjean navigated the final race of the season.
Private Dinner with Racing Legends
On Saturday night, our guests had an exclusive dinner with Romain Grosjean, shortly after having a meet and greet with him earlier in the day. But if that wasn’t enough, Ricardo Juncos, former race car driver and owner of Juncos Hollinger, also joined the DNSFilter team and guests. As an additional treat, Dave O’Neill, Team Principal for Juncos Hollinger responsible for Romain’s racing strategy joined us as well. O’Neill is a former F1 Sporting Director and Team Manager, with years of experience in motorsports.
To have a special end to the season, we closed the Juncos Hollinger hospitality tent just for our guests and had an amazing catered dinner. It was the perfect opportunity for our guests to share an evening with three motorsports legends, hearing firsthand about their experiences on and off the track.
Behind-the-Scenes: Juncos Hollinger Racing Garage Tour
Our guests enjoyed an up-close-and-personal tour of the Juncos Hollinger Racing garage. Attendees got to witness the precision and expertise that goes into preparing a race car for competition, met some of the pit crew, and gained insight into the technical side of racing.
Romain Grosjean Hat Giveaway
To top it all off, we gave away exclusive Romain Grosjean hats on Sunday. These limited-edition caps were a huge hit with fans and a fun way to commemorate the event. We gave away 80 hats in under 10 minutes!
Final Race of the Season
The Music City Grand Prix marked the thrilling conclusion of the 2024 IndyCar season. With so much on the line, tensions were high, and every lap was a battle for glory. Watching the final race—while keeping tabs on Grosjean’s performance thanks to that inside-the-car view—was an experience like no other.
This race was special, but we appreciate all of the guests we were able to host this season and the amazing moments we shared together. These race weekends have been special in 2024.
The Visibility Gap: Why Seeing is the Only Antidote to Shadow IT
Every CISO and security engineer eventually has to face: they no longer own their network.
In the era of the decentralized office, the traditional perimeter hasn't just been breached; it has evaporated. It vanished the moment an employee signed up for an AI tool using their corporate email. It vanished when a department stood up a SaaS suite on a personal credit card. It vanishes every time an employee decides that convenience is more important...
Maximum Protection, Minimum Friction: Announcing DNS PreCheck
In the modern era of the hybrid workforce, the traditional corporate perimeter is a thing of the past. Employees have the freedom to connect from home, airport lounges, international hotels, and everywhere in between. While this is a win for productivity, it can be a headache for IT teams who have zero control over the network configuration.
