On Thursday, October 17th, some of Austin’s most influential business and community leaders gathered at The Falling Leaves Estate in Westlake Hills for an exclusive, invitation-only F1 kick-off dinner and afterparty co-hosted by The Krim Group and the Edward Charles Foundation.  Lamborghini Austin served as the presenting sponsor and displayed the all-new Lamborghini Revuelto, the first HPEV hybrid super sports car on the market.   Guests were treated to specialty cocktails compliments of Dulce Vida Tequila and Empress 1908 Gin, while Chef Colter Peck and Elementary Catering prepared a three-course dinner for those lucky enough to score an invite.  Following dinner, guests raced each other on F1 racing simulators developed by PushStart Sims and were treated to La Aurora cigars straight from the Dominican Republic.  Wall Street Journal sports reporters Joshua Robinson & Jonathan Clegg, authors of The Formula: How Rogues, Geniuses, and Speed Freaks Reengineered F1 into the World’s Fastest-Growing Sport, were on-hand to personally sign copies of their New York Times best-selling book.  DJ CRSTO kept the party going into the wee hours with many exclaiming it to be one of the highlights of Austin’s famed F1 weekend.
