How this event plays at JW Marriott Orlando Grande Lakes
The format that works: arrive at JW Marriott Orlando Grande Lakes, split the team into bracketed groups, run qualifying laps, then run elimination rounds through the day with a final showdown between the top seeds. Every guest drives. Every guest has a moment on the leaderboard. And the cross-department rivalry that forms over lap times is the actual team building — people who didn't interact before lunch are coaching each other by dinner. Our operators facilitate the whole format: explain the cars, coach new drivers, run the bracket, MC the finals. Your people leaders at JW Marriott Orlando Grande Lakes just show up and participate.
