Dempsey Del Piero Racing and Sparco!

16 aprile 2013 posted by: Sparco Official

Motorsports are unpredictable.

Ever heard of a People’s Choice Award actor and a world football champion joining forces to beat the 24 Hours of Le Mans and the American Le Mans Series? With a team of their own!

Both have already achieved so much in their professional lives, and yet their passion for motorsports has driven them to explore new fields and dive into new challenges.

We are talking about Patrick Dempsey and Alessandro Del Piero. One has been known for years to world-wide audiences as Dr. Sheperd in Grey’s Anatomy, a further acknowledgement for a brilliant career. The other has won FIFA World Cup in 2006 with the Italian team and has been the flagship player of Juventus FC for over 20 years.

And now they are side by side on a new quest. A great team made up of true sportsmen! When we found out that Dempsey would be holding the wheel of a Porsche 911 GT3 RSR, here at Sparco we all were sure we wanted to be part of this exciting challenge. And so it is – we are going to provide this team with all the racegear they need: suits, footwear, gloves, underwear

Once again, we have the honor of joining a project born from top-class pros, aiming straight at the first place. We are ready to provide the best support to our heroes – See you on the track!

Silent Aerobatics

“Aerobatics with gliders means controlling every gram, every metre, every instant of energy.
Energy is our vital lymph, our blood, our oxygen. You give me speed, and all I need to feel free to be myself in the sky.”

The words of Luca Bertossio, 22 years old aerobatic glider pilot, unequivocally express the passion that moves him to fly and delight the public with his silent aerobatic evolutions.
Aerobatics are his life. Since he began, three years ago, Luca has clocked up an incredible number of flying hours, and achieved results no one near his age has ever managed: 4 times on the top step of the podium, with the Italian National Anthem in his ears and a gold medal around his neck.

There are a couple of things Luca would never be without whenever he climbs into his glider. And these include his Sparco shoes.

Sensitivity is absolutely of paramount importance. I don’t wear gloves, not even in winter because they act like a ‘filter’ between me and the glider. I only use polarised sunglasses with titanium frames and my Sparco ankle-free shoes, the only ones that let me feel every gram of pressure I put on the pedals (controls that are vital for correctly executing the figures). I wouldn’t wear any other kind of shoe.

We’re very proud of our contribution to improving Luca’s flying conditions and really looking forward to cutting trails through the sky with him again soon.
