Where it all began
The reason why David started racing cars was that he was attracted to the idea of it. At the young age of 16, David found himself drawn towards karting. When he had enough money to buy a vehicle, he did not settle for a regular car. Instead, David used his hard-earned money to purchase a CRG Kart and an old truck. Every Wednesday after that, he drove his kart in the nearby tracks until he eventually found himself very good at it.

Greatest challenges he encountered

When he had his near-death experience in 2017, he realized that some challenges are quickly resolved if one is mentally strong. With that, he forced himself to reach and connect with his spiritual self because he knew that people are open to the most remarkable change when they hit their rock bottom.
