The founder

Andrea Palma

Born in 1976, Andrea Palma shows from an early age a strong passion for the world of racing cars and motorsport. After his debut in go-kart races, he stands out for his skills at the wheel at regional and national level, first in the 100 cc class up to single-brand championships, Formula 3 and Formula Opel Lotus.

In 2004 he has the opportunity to participate in the Trofeo Maserati, winning the title of European Champion. Soon after that he is asked by Amato Ferrari to join his team, AF Corse, thanks to which he wins the Italian GT3 Championship in 2005.

After that experience he is engaged in Europe with the Maserati GT3 and the Ferrari 430 GT2 and is asked by the Swiss team Kessel Racing to participate in a race of the FIA GT World Championship with the Ferrari 575 GT1 and in the prestigious 24 Hours of Spa (2008) with the Ferrari 430 GT2. The following years are marked by a succession of races in the Italian and European GT Championships and after eight victories he also wins the European GT Sprint Series Championship in 2012 with the Ferrari 458 GT2.

In 2013 he starts a new collaboration with Imperiale Racing Team in the Supertrofeo Lamborghini Europe and in 2015 he is European Champion in the Gallardo category, before switching to the Huracan in the Supertrofeo and continuing in the GT3 queen class with Petri Corse Team.
Finally, he continues with the AMG GT3, the first car of a non-Italian brand.

In addition to the strong skills behind the wheel, Andrea also nourishes a deep passion for the “soul" of his cars. That's how he started studying mechanical design as well as he began working at the development of racing cars, both on the track and in the workshop, starting from the very first preparation of chassis and engines.

Thanks to his driving skills and technical knowledge, in 2015 he is asked to cover the position of test driver for the car manufacturer Pagani Automobili, a true Italian excellence in the world of luxury hypercars, which will give him the opportunity to follow the development of new prototype cars until the final validation.
