“I love motorsports because there’s nothing like the rush of racing side by side at over 100 mph. Your heart’s pounding, your focus is razor sharp, and your tires are just inches from the other car. One small mistake can change everything. The speed, the risk, the pressure, it all combines into this insane thrill that’s impossible to describe until you’ve lived it. It’s not just a sport to me, it’s where I feel most alive.” -JP
“My competitors push me to be better every time I hit the track, but no one motivates me more than my teammate. In motorsports, your fiercest rival is often the one sharing your garage. You’re chasing the same goals, comparing every lap, every tenth of a second. That pressure pushes me to dig deeper, sharpen my skills, and never settle. It’s a constant battle that fuels my drive to improve and become the best version of myself on and off the track.” -JP
Juan Pablo (JP) pushed us, his parents, to buy him a go-kart to begin his racing journey. What I admire most is his determination and deep love for motorsports. He doesn’t just chase his dream of becoming a Formula 1 driver he drives all of us to believe in it too. I’m incredibly proud of my son for stepping onto the track with no fear, only focus, and the mindset of a winner. His passion is contagious, and his dedication is truly inspiring.
