We do our best work while in competition. It’s why the space race took us to the moon, and it’s why drivers usually set their fastest laps during races. The fact is, when the spirit of competition pushes us, we demand the absolute most from ourselves. That’s why, in terms of engine development and performance, one competition, named the Schneider Trophy race, resulted in one of the most significant leaps forward in internal combustion engine performance the world had ever seen.
