00:00Hi! Ready for the race!
00:07In El Ata, Autocross unites drivers in a thrilling test of skill and speed.
00:14Autocross is a very technical sport.
00:19The race course is only revealed on the day of the competition,
00:23making it a real challenge to memorise the track and execute it flawlessly.
00:28Exactly, as we'd have learned.
00:34Today, more and more people are getting interested in this sport,
00:38which is evident from the growing number of participants.
00:41My name is Afnan Merghulani, I'm a Swedish racer driver.
00:44He's my coach and my competitor now.
00:48This is a very accessible sport.
00:51You can start with an everyday car.
00:54It gives you time to gain experience and familiarise yourself with the races
00:58and how they're organised.
01:00From there you can progress to higher level competitions,
01:02whether Autocross, Time Attack, GT races or even F1.
01:13Today I'm driving this Subaru BRZ.
01:17Its horsepower is relatively low,
01:20which means I've made a few modifications to boost the engine
01:23and improve the stability of the chassis.
01:33It's an adrenaline rush.
01:35I'm so excited, that's normal.
01:37These races teach us how to balance excitement and focus.
01:43In this sport, teamwork and solidarity are key.
01:47I remember one competitor who took off his own tyre and lent it to me
01:51so I could finish my race properly.
01:54That's exactly why I love Autocross.
