Who is RaceCar?

The team is a collaboration between Felix Schönhofen and Daniel Senff.

Felix Schönhofen is founder and over the years he started in several leagues for RaceCar himself. Furthermore he is the keeper of the grail for the RaceCar design.

Daniel Senff is the technical head of the team. He provided most of the art direction and implementation on the cars and websites.
