The recap of our first full year. Twelve months that took us from a Twingo project with everything to prove, to National A, International D and Nordschleife licenses, a debut win, and over 70k new followers. The most intense year of our lives, and only the beginning.
Before 2025 closed out, we wanted to give you a proper recap of our first full year. Short version: the most intense year of both our lives, and one that took us further than we thought possible in twelve months.
We came into the year with a Twingo project, a plan to go racing, and a lot to prove. By the end of it we were holding National A, International D and Nordschleife licenses, had a car that wins, and a community around the project that keeps growing.
Here's roughly how the racing year went. We knew the Twingo build would take time, and that we needed a T-Car to work toward our International D licenses, so we brought a BMW 330d into the fold as our stepping stone. First NATC weekend in Oschersleben: we finished every race we started, even after taking contact on track. Hockenheim followed. Then the Nordschleife permit, which we completed in the Twingo prototype.
On our final permit lap, a driver who ignored the briefing rules drove straight into us. It wasn't even his car. That one hurt, but we rebuilt and kept going.
Then the milestone we'd been chasing all year: the Twingo passed compliance and got its Wagenpass, just in time for the final NATC weekend. It debuted, and it won on debut. For a car and a team in their first full season, that meant everything.
Alongside the racing, the project grew fast. Over 70,000 new followers, the webshop live, our sim racing department up and running, this community built, and a fully working Assetto Corsa model of the Twingo that becomes the foundation for our own Twingo Cup.
The biggest lesson of the year was simple. Keep moving. Take the next step, learn from it, take the one after. That is how all of this got built.
Towards the end of the year we put real work into the foundations, the structure and planning a project like this needs to last. So if the off-season felt a little quieter, that is why. Quiet doesn't mean gone. It means we're building something that lasts.
Massive thank you to everyone who was part of this year. Our crew especially, and every single one of you. Onto the next one.
