There are weeks that change the history of a project forever: for us at Raze, the one we just spent in Cupertino will be etched into the DNA of our company.
A recognition that smells like the future
We landed in California with a suitcase full of dreams and, above all, our new identity: last April, Raze S.R.L. was officially founded โ the startup we built to give a solid home to GPKingdom, GPK Games and all the digital innovations we are planning for you.
Receiving Appleโs invitation to WWDC 2025 so soon was much more than a simple industry event; it was the official recognition that the path of excellence we have embarked on is the right one. Being called to Cupertino as leading developers in the world of motorsport is a pride we share with each and every one of you who downloads our apps every day.
The first fans in the world to see the film โF1โ
The most incredible moment? Being among the first fans in the world to see an advance screening of the new film โF1โ: Apple reserved us a seat in the front rows of the Steve Jobs Theater for what promises to be the cinematic manifesto of our favourite sport.
Our CTO, Alessandro De Blasio, described it like this as soon as he walked out of the screening:
โAn authentic film, shot during the actual championship season with real drivers and team principals. Almost no CGI, zero stunt doubles for the on-track scenes: itโs pure adrenaline. Thereโs a balanced mix of seriousness and humour that will keep even non-hardcore fans glued to the screen. Perhaps the most technically minded will feel the lack of detail on qualifying and sectors, but itโs a work designed to make the entire world fall in love with Formula 1.โ
Going from zero to Apple Park is an immense achievement, but for Raze this is only โ to use a metaphor very dear to us โ โthe Formation Lapโ. Our mission is to revolutionise the digital experience tied to racing, bringing technology where it has never reached before.
Thank you for being part of this great family, our great family. The future is more incredible than ever: we canโt wait to build it together with you, step by step.
