French term or phrase: font vibrer l'esprit de la gamme
Target = UK
Press release concerning a motor boat event in which 120 boats from the same range participated.
Last year, there were roughly 30 participants

Nous tenons tout particulièrement à remercier les nombreux participants qui font vibrer l’esprit de la gamme XXXXX et on fait de ce week-end un moment magique

XXXXX=name of range


For some reason I keep wanting to use the word 'buzz' and it doesn't really seem to fit. My mind doesn't seem to be able to explore other avenues.
Anyone got any ideas?

I've put this in 'Marketing' because it's the marketing department that come up with these press releases.
