[Animated sequence]
We transition to a white box containing text and graphics displaying against an animated background graphic which slowly wipes across the frame from frame-right to frame-left. The graphic consists of another set of 3D geometric shapes of varying apparent depth, shaded variously in yellow, white, grey and blue. Within the text box, a yellow radiating lightbulb graphic takes the place of the “I” in “Learning”, and the Nissan logo displays below the text.

We transition to two inset screens displaying side-by-side against a background graphic of thick diagonal 3D lines of varying apparent depth, shaded variously in yellow, grey and blue. 3D models of Eco-marathon urban concept vehicles are seen at various points along the lines. The two inset screens display close-up footage of Norman and Tommaso respectively, both looking into the camera while Tommaso speaks. “#MakeTheFuture” displays below the inset screens.
Tommaso Volpe
Whilst the vision is something that should be always permanent in your career. Where you want to go? What is the project? What is the dream you want to deliver with motorsport?

If a race weekend is on, quick decision making, dealing with ambiguity and working as a team is all that makes the difference. Because coming up with a solution next week is just not good enough. And I think that’s what unites motorsport.
