The Ruote Classiche Club in Prato is vey active in organizing unforgettable events with key protagonist of the Italian and international motorsport scene, events that unmistakably go to the roots of traditional motorsport values of talent, growth, commitment and continuous improvement.  On May 19th the event has seen as protagonist of the evening Thierry Boutsen: 164 F1 World Championship Gran Prix, 3 F1 wins, 15 F1 podiums.

He also raced in many other categories in Europe and also the USA showing a remarkable versatility and winning in any category he has raced.  His career is truly unique because he started racing late (18 years old, he had to wait for a driving license first) and coming from a small country (Belgium) he never had solid financial backing. Nevertheless he always made the best of what he actually had appreciating the fact that from such humble beginning racing for 10 years (1983-1993) in F1 has been already a key achievement.

Data shows that he could have have achieved much more in his F1 career given he had more support financial or technical support yet he does not regret anything: Boutsen has a winning mentality, focusing on the positive side and appreciating than anything is ‘character building’. Even luck is not a factor to him, luck is just a matter of opportunities passing by and simply being ready to catch them. No doubt he has been utilizing this mindset to achieve results not only in motorsport but also in the florid career in executive aviation he has undertaken as an entrepreneur since many years. It has been a pleasure to listen to him talking about grit, determination, his very close friendship with Senna (beyond racing) with his unmistakable sense of flair and elegance.

We spoke about the fact that a book about his career and approach to life would be well worth it, he keeps being too busy to focus on it right now, but eventually he will also get this goal done to the benefit of many people that will have the opportunity to appreciate the the timeless wisdom of a man besides the achievements and talent of the race driver.

Mika Hakkinen to me represents an indiscussed top talent, crowned with 2 F1 World Championships, and most of all values of sportsmanship, straightforwardness and humbleness that are dear to me. This is all still very evident while a follows the career of his younger children on karting tracks … We were born in the same year, 1968…

Quarrar Firhand, LA Motorsport, took a solid fifth place in the ROK SUPERFINAL 2022 MINI category at the South Garda Karting track in Lonato. There were 84 category participants in the Superfinal and Quarrar always managed to stand out in the top positions during qualifying, eliminatory heats, semi-final and final heats.

Congratulations to Quarrar whom is gradually becoming more and more familiar with the dynamics of our integrated mental training method; we are increasingly focusing to customize the method execution to the needs and opportunities for growth and development that this very young Indonesian talent is showing.

On October 8th and 9th 2022 it was held at the Lonato South Garda Karting track, Italy, the traditional Trofeo Delle Industrie: the oldest karting race that this edition has reached the 50th anniversary. This race alone, in itself, represents traditionally the very top of international karting in terms of drivers and technology. Lorenzo Baldassarri and myself have followed Qarrar Firhand (Mini category, LA Motorsport Team, Parolin chassis, IAME engine) during the event racing activities. We have continued to implement Qarrar’s customized integrated mental training following MindUP Enhancement Psychology ® method and protocols.

Qarrar is progressively and markedly continuing his development path, more aware and self assured than ever, enabling the expression of his raising talent. Concrete results are naturally emerging from this: a spectacular, fun to watch for the passes, win during the heats path and consistently within the top six, that has been his solid result during the final.

It is a pleasure for us to work with such promising talent that since the very first steps of the method (during the assessment) has embraced the pragmatic approach (data driven, performance focused) that characterizes our protocols.

Overall the approach is also stimulating his progressive natural growth not only as a talented driver but also as a young person learning more about himself while having the spirited fun that characterizes his young age and development.
