Why We Exist
Making Formula 1 authentic, alive, and accessible to all.
The Problem We Saw
Formula 1 has long been presented as something distant. Exclusive. Expensive. For the Elite.
"An experience many admire, yet quietly postpone — maybe in my next life."
We don't believe in that.
We see Formula 1 as authentic, alive, and accessible to all.
How It Started
Two friends. One Sunday ritual. A lifetime of F1 passion.
Davy Karta
From youth, Davy was looking in the background every two weeks at Formula One while doing his homework. Especially on Sundays, the sound of engines became the soundtrack to his studies.
As a student with limited budget, Davy figured out creative ways to visit those races himself — finding the cheapest flights, sharing hostels, and discovering local secrets that made F1 accessible.
What started as personal passion became a hobby: helping friends experience F1 without breaking the bank. Word spread. The hobby got serious.
Ilyas
Every Sunday, Davy and Ilyas came together — homework spread across the table, race commentary filling the room. They'd prepare for next week's high school exams while Schumacher, Häkkinen, and later Hamilton battled on screen.
Years later, when Davy's F1 travel hobby was growing beyond what one person could handle, he knew exactly who to call. Ilyas brought operational excellence and a shared vision: F1 should be accessible, but never compromised.
Together, they took on the challenge: provide not only access to budget packages, but also premium experiences with sharper execution.
