NOT JUST MOTOR SPORT

A"Alea iacta est". The die is cast. There is no turning back. The images speak more than the words. Behind our story there is much more than just a "click". There is the dedication to what has been, is and will be our first love: motorsport. But our narration in images does not stop at the two and the four wheels: we like the dynamism and the style that lies behind every single sport. Hence our choice to be "Not Just Motorsport": we do not want to be tied to a single category, but show you the variousfacets of sports, from preparation to action. "Not Just Motorsport"embodiesthisphilosophy.Enjoy!

"Telos", "predestination", "mission", "destiny": in the courseof history wehavetried in many waysto givea name to the achievement of an ultimate goal, what becomessomewhat thepurposeof our life.Wepursue what givesus a thrill, an emotion, or, if you will, that sense of being here, now, at a particular moment. Live, dream, fight: sometimes it feels like a race. Perhapsthisishow some have become champions, or seem destined to become: throwing the achievement of that goal over the obstacle. Someone sees him behind a curve, dancing between a curb and another, someone else beyond a hill. In any case, each of us finds his own way to cross the finish line in front of him. Every drop of sweat, every tear, every liberating scream are nothing more than an extraordinary celebration of life, a tangible sign that you are not passing,but apositiveaffirmation of existence.
