Mauro Portelli talks to The Zone’s Matthew Cassar about his passion for racing, where he learned to race and how he prepares for races. He says that good racers need to know their car well, look after it, understand how the engines work, be focused, determined, train well and keep fit.


Besides participating in race competitions abroad, Portelli is also a regular on the local scene. Even though he finds that staying in Malta and racing locally has its limitations, he hopes the sport will become more popular and be considered as important as any other sport.
