Become an official sponsor

Since 2018 we have been supporting Bogdan Talasman, a Romanian Rally Driver who is making big steps within the Romanian Rally championships. When we started to support him we were competing in the Suzuki Swift Cup. In 2022, we have upgraded to a Mitsubishi Lancer Evo X.

For 2023 our goal is to win the RC2N class and be in the first 5 overall in the championship.

Bogdan Talasman

Date of birth: 1.03.1980
First race: Campulung hill climbing 2009

I got into rallying in 2008, with a car built by me and some friends, after being a “professional spectator” for almost 10 years. The virus came from my father, my first memory with him being at a race. I raced a lot of cars, winning the Dacia Cup in 2015, but I consider that my best driving is with the Suzuki in the last three years.

It’s a great experience to drive the Mitsubishi! I enjoy it a lot and I’m sure the best is yet to come!
