Born from a missing space.A format built with the community.
The format was created by Matteo Costariol, partner of GMA, to fill the lack of informal spaces for the industry in Italy. It is inspired by the High Performance Coffee Club in the UK, organised by James Oliver as part of NS85.
RPM – Rete Professionisti Motorsport has supported the project, helping it reach more people and more participants.
