How Did You Start Sim Racing?

My husband, Filippo Barbieri, absolutely loves racing, sim racing and everything fast and competitive. When he started sim racing he introduced me to his world and I was immediately drawn in to the life like feel and competitiveness of sim racing! 

What Does Sim Racing Mean to You?

Though sim racing is a hobby for me, my competitive nature drives me to try and beat my own lap times over and over and strive to one day catch up to my husband on the track🤗

Goals as a Sim Racer:

I just started sim racing in October/November of 2024 and have progressed to a C license. My short term goal is to gain racing experience and become competitive in my racing bracket. Long term I want to compete in a few fun team races with my husband! 

Racing Experience:

I have only been driving on the Sim since August of 2024 and did my first race in October/November of 2024.

Favorite Car and Track:

Being very new to sim racing I have limited experience with different cars and the different tracks. As if now my favorite car is the McLaren 720s and my favorite track is Laguna Seca Raceway.

Hobbies and Interests Outside of Racing:

Outside of Sim racing you’ll find me glued to my family spending as much time with them as possible. I am also a pro mountain bike racer and love spending time outside camping, hiking and biking!

Personal Motto or Inspiration:

"Strength is the product of struggle, you must do what others don't to achieve what others won't." 

Fun Fact About You:

I'm a mom of five kids!!
