In last month’s e-newsletter we highlighted karting days here at VIMC. If you are a fan of the nimbleness of kart driving, you would definitely appreciate the ultra lightweight and kart-like handling of the Lotus! Their raison d’être is embedded in their well-known catch phrase, ‘For The Drivers.’ We couldn’t be more excited to introduce them to our GAIN family.
Evan’s automotive journey began back in high school where his passion for all things automotive started to grow. However, after witnessing a fellow student completely stripping a E30 BMW to use solely for auto cross, his gears shifted.

Boasting 385 horsepower and a very healthy 384 lb-ft of torque, the C43 is definitely not shy and perhaps one of our most powerful vehicles in the fleet. In signature Mercedes-Benz form, its traditional styling is both elegant and contemporary. However, add the letters AMG to the badge and what you’ll find is unexpected and dynamic track potential.
In last month’s newsletter, we shared our thoughts about this year’s upcoming Formula 1 season. With F1 representing the height of open-wheeled racing, this month we thought we would pay homage to where it often all began…karting. Karting started in 1956 in California, with the first Karting Federation founded in 1957 in the USA. It didn’t take long after that to become popular in Europe. By the 1970’s, it was established around the world, leading to international competitions and championships. It turned out that kart racing was the best preparation for ‘moving up the ladder’ to race in bigger and faster open-wheel racing series.
If it wasn’t assumed, our team is very passionate about motorsports and devote followers of various racing series around the world. As with many sports enthusiasts, we each have our own thoughts and predictions about the upcoming year in F1. Discover our teams F1 pre-season thoughts and predications.
