Flashback

Since I was a child, I always knew that my true love was speed. I grew up in a humble home in Argentina, surrounded by economic hardships, but that never extinguished the fire that burned within me: the dream of becoming a race car driver.

I vividly remember that sunny day when my father took me to my first car race. I was barely five years old, but I was mesmerized by the roar of the engines and the excitement in the air. As I watched the cars race around the corners at top speed, I knew in that moment that this was the world where I belonged.

My father, despite his financial limitations, always supported me in my passion. Every weekend, he took me to the local tracks so I could get up close to the competitions. It was as if the smell of fuel and the deafening sound of engines fueled my determination.

But my real turning point came when I had the chance to be a co-pilot in a local race. It was an overwhelming experience, feeling the adrenaline coursing through my veins as the car accelerated at full speed. That day, I knew I didn't want to be just a spectator; I wanted to be a protagonist in the world of motorsport.
