The story is funny enough to be counted. In ArgentinaA player padel leaves the track for a race auto and made the podium, 2 times in a row.

It is the story of Tomas Fineschi, a racing driver who did not have a vehicle.

En Argentina, in the town of Rosary, the third largest in the country, Tomás was quietly playing padel with his friends. Everything was going very well until this phone call.

It was an emergency: one of the teams no longer had a driver for the weekend event, and was desperately looking for a replacement. Neither one nor two, Tomás does his business and towards the circuit.

I thought I would watch the race in front of the TV

The other drivers had Friday to do the training, but no time to test for Tomás who arrives on Saturday. Remember that this driver is not an amateur, and that he knew the circuit although it was slightly modified for this race. Here is our friend who left for the classifications. A suitable bucket, some modifications made to the vehicle, and it’s the start.

Winner

This is the result. Tomás finishes the race on the highest step of the podium of its category on Saturday, and will repeat the experience during the next race on Sunday.

Le padel maybe a springboard for our life. So come and play padel, something positive will always happen to you!
