Motorsport. It is not a hobby. It is more. It is a passion. It is a way of life. Every lap counts. It is a goal in life to be every lap absolutely on point, accurate to a hundredth.
„Look out there. Out there is the perfect lap. No mistakes. Every gear change, every corner. Perfect.“
- Ken Miles

For success, the whole team has to work hand in hand. It is never a solo effort. It is always about the whole team. From the truck driver to the race car driver - everything has to be 100% on point. You can see the results on the stopwatch. Every lap. Each lap should be better than the previous. Improvement is the key. You always have to strive to be better than the others. Better than the past. The personal development, the personal progress - it is part of the lifestyle.
Already in Karting you start to educate the children. The smallest details in life come up. One hundredth per lap is decisive. This ultimately makes the difference between victory or defeat. This is the goal of RH Race Engineering. Getting the best out of the car. The best out of the driver. Finding the perfect lap. Becoming better every day. Every second. Therefore, we offer the whole package of Engineering and Driver Support.
