Hot Race Tyres sign Fabrizio Teghesi

Posted: 24 Nov 2017 11:17 AM PST

Italian company Hot Race Tyres have announced the signing of Italian frontrunner Fabrizio Teghesi. Fabrizio is well known in the industry for being a hard worker and for this reason Fabrizio will be not only be a new factory driver but was also appointed as Italian team manager. Fabrizio says:

For the 2018 I will be new Italian HotRace team manager and new Factory driver. I will do my best for Nicola and his company.

I know Nicola from many years, I knew him as a friend but not from a “business point of view”. I received a proposal from him even before his start in the OFF Road market, and my passionate advice was to tell him to desist from starting this journey in a difficult world of buggy Off road … His answer so natural surprised me. “Nico” answered: “If it is difficult it means I will work even harder to get a good results, it doesn’t scare me to work!” Awed by these words I began to follow Hotrace with a sort of “typhoid intrinsic “for his product, looking” from the outside “to the fastest growth of his brand in the Buggy world, and a few months after its birth, the first international drivers began to land in the team and at the end of 2016, after only 1 year that HotRace was on the market, “took the luxury” to win the Italian Nationals in the EXPERT, and to place 3 drivers in the main final of EC.

Now after one more year, Nicola has come back to me with a proposal that pleases me not only from a sporting point of view, but also on the side of the responsibility he has decided togive to me. During this 10 years of my racing career i have been running only with the 2 American big companies(Proline and Aka), but today i know Nicola also as a business man, and his passion,his professionalism and his tireless desire to work convinced me to accept his proposal. For the 2018 i will be new Italian HotRace team manager and new Factory drivers. I will do my best for Nicola and his company.
