Currently achieving 0-100 kmh in 1.8 seconds.

Using the spectacle of sport, we are sending a powerful and meaningful message to help alter perceptions and speed-up the switch to electric mobility.

• Mobile Editing & Content Basics: Hands-on experience with mobile editing apps (CapCut, mobile video tools), basic Photoshop, and social management/scheduling software.
• Live Event Agility: Calm, sharp, and detail-oriented under the fast-paced pressure of live race windows.
• Data Literacy: Comfortable using platform analytics to evaluate post performance and refine community strategy.
