At home on the edge

No matter how different we may be – there are always things that unite us.

Love is certainly the strongest of all common denominators. Being infected, burning with passion for something – everyone knows that feeling in their own personal way. And hardly anything is more multifaceted than the love for automobiles. Everyone finds their own thing here, something they dedicate themselves to and are willing to give everything for. For us, it's motorsport – more specifically: drifting. We are hopelessly addicted to this extreme sport made of metal. And we're not alone: the steadily growing number of sideways-speeding enthusiasts has brought driving on the razor-sharp edge out of the shadows and into social acceptance in this country. What once began with outlaws on remote Japanese mountain roads at night now fills stadiums around the world. For many racing series, this commercialization was often the beginning of the end.

Motorsport has gained in reach and revenue with the growing influence of car manufacturers and high-tech private teams, but at the expense of atmosphere and the true joy of driving. For newcomers and amateurs, there is hardly any room left in this billion-dollar market.

The down-to-earth yet extremely popular sport of drifting gives us the chance to prove that today (again), it is possible to be successful in motorsport with passion, dedication, and personal commitment – even without a lottery jackpot. Following this principle, we carry out all the work on our team’s own vehicles ourselves. In addition to our two established cars, a BMW E36 Touring and Coupé, we are also rebuilding a sedan from the legendary predecessor series E30 using the equipment available to us.

Tool Rebels stands for everything we embody as a team. Anyone who, like Motorsport Infected, fights for their goals with everything they’ve got is a true Tool Rebel. It’s not about what you have – it’s about how you use it.
