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!

The 2024 season of the Formula E World Championship saw thetriumph of Pascal Wehrlein on Porsche. The German driver, former F1, is not new to capital performance and his skill was shown until the last race, the E-Prix in London, where the title was decided. A victory that is not the result of chance: in alternating drivers and teamson thehighest stepsof thepodium,Wehrlein has shown consistency and regularity throughout all races of the year. In fact, a second place in London wasenough to allow him to take home the title of driver. To get the victory in the championship reserved for manufacturers is instead Jaguar, who beatsthe "Queen" of Stuttgart by only 4 points. The jaguar-branded team, which has been able to have a line-up of respectable drivers with Mitch Evans and Nick Cassidy, however, did not manage in the best way the internal rivalry: Both Evans and Cassidy have arrived at thelast racewith theintention of getting their hands on the title, but between the two contenders... Wehrlein enjoys it! The German driver gets his hands on a title that is as much desired and expected asit isdeserved.

Sun, heat, humidity, desire for sea or mountain. Desire for holidays, for distractions. The hot summers, which are becoming more frequent, may slow down our daily and routine activities, but they certainly donot stop our passions.Grab aboard,jump into the waves, but also take a plane to follow your favorite race with your favorite champions. It?s curious how certain things can make people move: a place, a board, a race car. Sport ignites something within usthat not even the brutal sun of midsummer can stop. Perhaps nothing like our personal passions can move the human soul. There isno better gasoline that can light the heart more than passion, which burnsthe desire to achieve, do something unusual, to risk. Only the ardor for something manages to make us do things that, under "normal" conditions, would seem of improbable realization. But on the other hand, are not passions that were, yesterday as today, themotor of man and hisprogress?
