Exclusive interview with Tamara Molinaro: racing driver in the Extreme E championship

With the conclusion of the fourth round of the Extreme E at the Hydro X Prix in Scotland, an opportunity arises to share an exclusive interview with Tamara Molinaro, the sole Italian driver in the championship and proudly sponsored by Magneti Marelli Checkstar.

Tamara offered an intimate glance at her journey in motorsport, a passion inherited from birth. Her first contact with this world occurred at just two months old, attending the Rally of Monza. The spark truly ignited when, at three years old, she received her first kart. The defining moment came at eleven years old, when she drove a Mitsubishi under the encouragement of Gigi Galli, a key figure in her development.

Tamara's memories range from laps around the track in Livigno and Maggiora with her father, to her first races and the emotions that stemmed from them. After an exciting experience in Rally Cross, Tamara embraced the challenge of the Extreme E, opening a new chapter in her career.

The Extreme E is an off-road racing championship, dedicated to electric SUVs, that takes place in remote locations of the planet. Eight teams, each made up of a male and female driver, compete not only for victory, but also to raise public awareness about climate change and promote sustainable solutions.

The partnership between Tamara and Magneti Marelli Checkstar goes beyond traditional sponsorship. It represents an investment in inclusion and innovation in motorsport, with the aim to inspire future generations of drivers and actively promote a more sustainable future.
