  • Cesar DeBrito - Suspension Engineer

    Hotwheels and Matchbox scaled model cars were always a toy and collectible favorite growing up. Having the bouncy suspension feel to some of them just made playing with them feel more realistic. Once TV video game consoles came out and driving simulator games such as Grand Turismo were available, you could always catch me in front of a tv chasing personal best lap times and fine tuning the suspension and steering angles to corner faster. Took advantage of a great education at Universal technical Institute and began applying that love for cars by starting my continued career with Mercedes Benz. Racing has always been a passion of mine and enjoy learning new limits while having fun.

  • Rob Bell - Chassis Engineer

    The details of my life are quite inconsequential... very well, where do I begin? My father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. My mother was a fifteen year old French prostitute named Chloe with webbed feet. My father would womanize, he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. My childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When I was insolent I was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds- pretty standard really.
