The new app idea was sparked during Otmar Szafnaur’s time in the F1 paddock.
Former Force India, Aston Martin, and Alpine team principal Otmar Szafnauer has launched a new app aimed at streamlining travel and event planning processes. The idea for the app originated from Szafnauer’s frustration with paper-based itineraries during his time at Aston Martin. After leaving Alpine last August, Szafnauer saw an opportunity to offer this time-saving service to various businesses. The Eventr app, developed by Szafnauer’s Softpauer organization, simplifies corporate event management with digital itineraries and enhanced team communication capabilities. Szafnauer recently presented the app to F1, F2, and F3 teams at the Bahrain Grand Prix, where it garnered interest from Red Bull, Ferrari, Pirelli, Sky, and others. The app is currently free for small groups of up to eight users, with pricing plans available for larger groups. Szafnauer envisions widespread adoption of the app, especially in collegiate sports, following a suggestion from his son, a golfer at a Division 1 college in the US.
