In the world of motorsport, not many other things excite fans and professionals as much as the performance of a racing car: top speed on the main straight, grip in corners and braking efficiency are always something special. Taking a car onto the track means always lots of work for the engineers and the technicians, for those who take care of logistics and transport of everything that’s needed to have a proper structure for competition.

In the last week of July, Kessel Racing will compete on two different tracks: at Paul Ricard in the South of France in this season’s fourth round of the Ferrari Challenge Europe and thousands of miles away, up North, on the legendary race track of Spa-Francorchamps for this year’s fourth race in the Blancpain Endurance Series with the legendary 24-hour-race. It will be a thrilling weekend with lots of work for the entire team, with every man and woman busy: the staff, the engineers, the technicians, the coach, the racing drivers and the lorry drivers. This means that 100 people are taking care of twelve cars on the track over the next days.

Kessel Racing Logistics will move eight trucks, transporting the cars to and from the races as well as all the parts needed to compete with the cars and at the track. From tool boxes, to the spare parts, to the video set up and the structure, which has to be put up at the pit wall. But there is even more, because one shouldn’t forget the lorry with the kitchen, where food is prepared for the Team members and the guests. The latter can visit the welcoming hospitality area with hundreds of comfortable chairs and dozens of tables. This is Kessel Racing’s task behind the scenes at every single race. This is what the lorries with their Rosso Ferrari liveries, we meet on the motorways, are hiding inside. Behind the success on the track there is always the story of exceptional men and women to be found. The story of long, hard and in many cases underrated work.
