The end of the 1990s would be the stage for several changes in the global automotive industry, as automakers, employing increasingly aggressive marketing tactics, tried to lure consumers with tailored and segmented products, focusing more on the ‘persona’ than on the ‘mass’. In the United States, this movement would have major repercussions, especially as American automakers looked to their past to find solutions for its conundrums.

Passionate about motorsport from the 60s and 70s, Lorenzo has a special affection for the sub-Formula 1 categories, such as F2, F3 and F. Junior, which are, at the same time, the 'ugly ducklings' of these decades, but are also the categories that better represent the essence of motorsport during this period. He holds a deep appreciation for drivers like Clark or Rindt, who dominated the premier category of motorsport, returning sporadically to their origins in F2, to compete and, simultaneously, teach new generations of what single-seater racing was all about. Lorenzo believes this was a time of innocence in motorsport, without a doubt, where the most important thing was to race.
