Philosophy & Guidlines
The focused will to win, sound preparation, 4-eye checks, correct calculated risk assessment
and courage are paramount to racing success.
If you do not dare, you will never win! Racing fame you win only with courage.
If there are no "guts" there is no "glory".
Based on this reasoning our founders derived our philosophy and our guidelines:
"guts and glory"
Guts & Glory racing -> G2racing
For our daily work we follow this maxim:
Competitiveness, reliability and efficiency in the services provided,
trustworthiness and friendliness in the business relationship
with customers and suppliers,
transparency and traceability for financial claims.
Our approach proves to be correct:
G2racing celebrated it's
20th anniversary
in November 2022!
