🇵🇱 FIA ERC | Rally Poland 🇵🇱

Another unforgettable weekend with the FIA European Rally Championship comes to an end.

On Friday I had the privilege of leading a Fit4Race Human Tuning Fitness Class for all the Junior ERC crews, sharing the importance of physical preparation and helping them get race-ready before one of the toughest events of the season.

From there, the real work began.

Throughout the rally I supported the crews based on their individual needs:
🔸 Recovery massages
🔸 Mobility sessions
🔸 Nutritional and hydration support
🔸 Supplement strategies
🔸 Mental coaching to help manage stress, pressure and pre-stage anxiety

Every rally reminds me that performance is never just about physical preparation. It’s about understanding the person behind the helmet and providing the right support at the right moment.

This event gave me, once again, the opportunity to grow both personally and professionally, while working alongside some incredibly talented drivers, co-drivers and teams.

A huge thank you to European Rally Championship for the continued trust and to the official ERC TV crew for giving FIT4RACE the opportunity to share our philosophy with the worldwide rally community.

The journey continues.

See you in two weeks at Barum Rally Czech Republic 🇨🇿🏁

🏁 🇮🇹 ROMA… SEMPLICEMENTE MAGGGGGGICA

Throwback to few weeks ago…

An amazing weekend in Rome, filled with adrenaline, competition and extreme temperatures. 🔥

Fit4Race Human Tuning was on-site supporting drivers and crews, delivering dedicated performance assistance to help them cope with the demanding conditions created by the intense heat.

In motorsport, performance isn’t only about what happens behind the wheel.
It’s about preparation, hydration, recovery, fatigue management and mental clarity, especially when conditions become extreme.

Supporting drivers means being there before, during and after the competition.
Because every detail can make the difference. 🏎️💨

An incredible weekend in one of the most unique settings in the world. Rome, the Colosseum, rallying and a true passion for motorsport. 🇮🇹

As always, a huge thank you to all the drivers, crews, teams and everyone who shared this fantastic experience with us!

See you next week in Poland 🇵🇱

🏁 Performance doesn’t happen by chance. It is built.

Behind every driver, there’s a process that goes far beyond training in the gym.

Every journey begins with a comprehensive assessment:
🟡 Metabolic testing
🟡 Aerobic capacity assessment
🟡 Reaction time and cognitive performance analysis
🟡 Motorsport-specific testing
🟡 Personalized training program

Every piece of data we collect allows us to build a tailored program with one goal: helping each driver perform at their absolute best on track.

Speed is trained.
Focus is trained.
Endurance is trained.

Because in motorsport, it’s the smallest details that make the biggest difference.

📍Welcome to FIT4RACE
Where performance meets science.

Sweden 🇸🇪... you were amazing‼️

The second stage of the is over, first for the drivers.
It was another great experience, beautiful places, challenges to the last sling on gravel and a pinch of bad luck for someone.

Once again I have to thank for the opportunity and all the drivers with whom I had the pleasure and honor of working last weekend.

Next stop ROME 🇮🇹

✅ ACI ITALIAN CHAMPIONSHIP R1

No hurry but no stop

🏁 What a weekend! An amazing experience, three intense days.

In the end, there’s nothing more rewarding than hearing that you’ve given a hand to phenomenally drivers who drive at impressive speeds down hilly roads, against time, opponents and challenging themselves.

And then see a bit of Italy fighting for the first places in the standings.

Congratulations to everyone and THANK YOU for allowing me to participate a this great adventure of yours!

Massive Thank you and for making this possible.

Thanks .mabe and , , .pokos_official & , , , , .motorsports guys and the whole organization!

See you in Sweden 🇸🇪

YOU ONLY THROW TENNIS BALLS

The throwing of balls is just the tip of the iceberg. Yes because behind and inside these balls there is a multitude of things, situations, emotions that no one sees, no one knows, no one imagines.

Everyone can throw balls (the tip of the iceberg) but not everyone can do this:

* Periodization of training according to the race calendar (pre-season, in-season, recovery phases)
* Cardiovascular endurance training in simulated race conditions
* Development of tolerance to neuromuscular fatigue
* Respiratory training and effort management in the cockpit
* Training of reaction times and decision-making speed
* Development of concentration under high cognitive load
* Eye-hand coordination and visual-spatial skills
* Stress and pressure management techniques in the race
* Monitoring and analysis of physiological data (HR, HRV, lactate, workload)
* Use of wearable tools and performance tracking software
* Integration of physical data with telemetry data and pilot feedback
* Detailed reporting for teams, engineers and management
* Planning recovery protocols (post-race and between sessions)
* Regeneration techniques: mobility, stretching, manual therapy
* Sleep management and optimization of circadian rhythms
* Strategies for reducing the risk of accidents
* Pre, during and post-race hydration strategies
* Energy and mental clarity management during long runs and race weekends
* Functional screening and identification of asymmetries
* Specific preventive programs for neck, back and upper limbs
* Post-injury return to the track management
* Direct support during the race weekends
* Warm-up and activation protocols pre-session
* Direct relationship with pilots, engineers and team managers
* Pilot education on performance, recovery and lifestyle
* Adaptation of programs based on feedback and results
* Individualized approach (“driver-centric approach”)
* Integration between physical, mental and behavioral components
* Development of the concept of “Human Tuning” in motorsport
* Optimization of the overall performance of the pilot as a complex system
* Alignment with the team’s technical and sporting objectives

2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣5️⃣ What a year! ✅

January - December: a long journey together, started in the Puglia land and ended on the other side of the world 🇦🇪.

12 intense, hectic months, made of races, trips, laughter, training, difficult moments (very few), podiums and victories (many).

How to summarize all this? Just with one word: THANK YOU!!!

Primi tre mesi dell’anno passati via velocemente, su e giù per l’Italia con qualche puntatina in Europa.
Se il buongiorno si vede dal mattino, posso dire che è stato un buon inizio. Nulla è ancora deciso, tutto ancora da costruire ma sempre più convinto che… Il meglio deve ancora arrivare!!!

The first three months of the year passed quickly, up and down Italy with a few points in Europe.
Without a doubt I can say that it was a good start. Nothing has been decided yet, everything still to be built but more and more convinced that...
The best is yet to come!!!

Thanks to

2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣4️⃣ Some photos of a year full of emotions, satisfaction and hard work!!!

THANK YOU to all the people I met and with whom I collaborated along this path... and above all THANK YOU to the drivers with whom I worked, the real protagonists of this magnificent year!!!

See you next year 🔜 THE BEST IS YET TO COME!!!
