"Alea iact a est ". The die is cast .

Ther e is no going back anymor e.

Images speak mor e t han wor ds.

Behind our st or y t her e is much mor e t han just a "click". Ther e is t he dedicat ion t o what has been, is and w ill be our f ir st love: mot or spor t . But our nar r at ion in images does not st op at t he t wo and t he four wheels: we like t he dynamism and t he st yle t hat lies behind ever y single spor t . Hence our choice t o be "Not Just Mot or spor t ": we do not want t o be t ied t o a single cat egor y, but show you t he var ious facet s of spor t s, f r om pr epar at ion t o act ion. "Not Just Mot or spor t " embodies t his philosophy. Enjoy!

electric single-seaters saw the triumph of Jake Dennis, driver of the Andretti team, equipped with a Porsche engine. The victory of the British driver is obviously not the result of chance: in a season that saw various drivers and various teams (including Maserati) on the top step of the podium, Dennis was the driver who showed more regularity, scoring 11 podiums. Envision Racing won the Constructors' Championship. It was perhaps expected something more from the Maserati team, in its first season in Form still managed to achieve a victory in the E-prix of Jaka generation of single-seaters, which received an increa bringing the total power to 350Kw.

You list en t o a song, and all of a sudden you f ind your self br owsing your memor y libr ar y. Even as you walk on t he sidewalk , in t hese f ir st cold and r ainy aut umn days, sudden memor ies emer ge. It happens in seemingly t r ivial moment s, when you ar e at a spor t ing event t o phot ogr aph, w r it e, document . Well, you f ind your self t hink ing t hat if you?ve got t en t o wher e you ar e, you owe it t o someone. If you?ve become what you ar e now, it?s because of someone who, in his ow n way, has lef t a mar k on your life.
