I think I speak for Filip too when I say this: looking back, we had no idea what we were getting into. The rollercoaster, the struggles, how much this project would define our day-to-day lives. None of that was visible from where we stood. And that's how it works for any project you start. You have a crazy idea that lives off nothing but your pure belief, and then you just.. start. Only knowing the next step directly ahead of you.

And that's how it was for us. We rode our motorcycles in the middle of nowhere in France, and just began this funny experiment in our heads. How could we get into racing? After years of watching, playing F1 split screen, watching endurance races come and go, going through school, graduating, starting uni, finding jobs.. living life. The dream was always there to go racing. It was first articulated between Filip and myself during that motorcycle trip in 2024.

We were discussing cars on our intercoms and the suggestion came: "what about a Twingo?", immediately followed by "no way, this can't work." Then we kept talking. Filip went to "actually, if we do this, or that, this could actually work." So a stupid idea became an achievable goal within a few days. Filip drafted a logo on our campsite, in POWERPOINT. I set up Instagram, created a simple email signup, and we went live. And people loved the idea.

From there it got more and more serious. Bought the base Twingo. Bought the Clio 2 RS for its engine. Got to work. We did our racing licenses with the base 54hp Twingo. We did our first races in a street legal BMW 330d. Drove TO THE TRACK with that car, raced it, then drove back home. Everything on the same old dead semi-slicks. Our "pit box" wasn't a pit box, just stuff literally laying on concrete in the paddock. We slept in Filip's little city car and had cereal as every meal, again on the pavement, without even a table. Now we have an actual camper, mobile box, tools, and it keeps getting better.

I cannot put into words how much has happened since. The most intense highs followed by the most intense lows. The Porsche that crashed into us and almost ended the project. The 24h organizer denying our entry in the most ridiculous, down-putting fashion. None of it stopped us. The dream still lives and we're working our asses off to make it real. The motivation to keep going comes from every one of you.

So a big, big thank you to every single one of you. It's so cool to share something you love with this many people. Everything you see right now runs on close to no budget. I'd even say, in a sport where stupid money gets thrown around, we're a genuine no-budget project. But every day we get closer to finding partners who see in this what we and you see in it. We're getting there.

Thank you also to everyone on our team who helped and stayed along for the ride. You know who you are.
