Warriors2Racers (W2R) is excited to announce a strategic addition to our fleet (through the COG-Racing LLC rental program), addressing a specific need in our program. While DeeDee, our beloved racing Miata, has been an excellent training vehicle, her lack of a passenger seat limits her use during instructor-required sessions. Enter our solution: Luigi, a 2013 Fiat 500.
When Luigi first arrived, he needed some tender loving care. COG-Racing immediately went to work, providing comprehensive rehabilitation that included:
Replacement of damaged wheels
Installation of new tires to replace severely aged ones
Repair of airbag sensor systems
Installation of a new right front wheel bearing
Replacement of the clutch system
Despite his compact size, Luigi has already proven his worth on the track. During his inaugural high-performance driver education (HPDE) session at Virginia International Raceway's full course, he demonstrated remarkable capabilities. With the W2R Director at the helm, this nimble Italian achieved an impressive top speed of 93 MPH. More notably, Luigi held his own against – and sometimes gained ground on – significantly more powerful vehicles, including Porsches and Corvettes.
This addition to our fleet marks an important expansion of our training capabilities, ensuring we can continue to provide top-tier instruction while maintaining the highest safety standards for our participants.
