Motor racing is a world full of extreme emotions and risks. Our drivers literally risk their lives, especially in rally racing. They drive at speeds of up to 200 km/h on narrow forest roads, often weaving between trees. It's not just about technique, but about the relentless ambition to be the best. These drivers want to win in every situation, not just on the track. It is this insatiable will to win that drives them, and not just in motor racing.
