Cool Victory is a Motorsport organization that races exotic cars internationally on the GT racing circuit. Founded in 2007, the team focuses on implementing innovative techniques to develop the racing team as well as funding research and development of new transportation technology. The team is based in New York City in the Empire State Building and in Geneva, Switzerland.

Cars and Racing
Cool Victory runs hot yellow and black Lamborghinis internationally on the Gran Turismo circuit. The Lamborghini Gallardo as a racecar offers four-wheel-drive capability, quick acceleration, power-assisted rack and pinion steering. The team also runs one Lamborghini completely funded by its team members’ support. Members join the team for a minimal cost, and as a benefit, their names replace major corporate sponsors’ logos on the sides of the car during races. Membership is universally open. The team competes primarily in endurance races. The 2009/2010 schedule includes the 24 Hours of Dubai, a day-long race held at the Dubai Autodrome in the United Arab Emirates and the 24 Hours of Daytona at the Daytona National Speedway in Daytona, Florida, USA. The team’s ultimate racing goals is to run the prestigious Le Mans, where only 55 cars compete in four different categories. Le Mans has run consecutively in France since its original event in 1923.

The Garage
Off the track, the team began development for a garage Manhattan in 2008. This garage is center of the team’s work force, a hub for race enthusiasts to experience different aspects of the sport firsthand and a promotional point for the team’s partners. The Manhattan garage includes one of the team’s racecars, simulators, equipment, events and various other opportunities.

The Series
In 2008, Cool Victory began production on a reality television series that follows the team on its establishment and growth. The show, titled Cool Victory, chronicles the behind-the-scenes business, the development of team members, ups and downs and life on and off the track. Five webisodes were created and posted online as a start to the series.

Project X
Cool Victory launched Project X in 2009. For a 5 Euro membership cost, new members could join and have their names printed on the side of the team’s Lamborghini for a race, received a ringtone of the team’s theme music and ongoing entrance to monthly prize drawings. This project was unprecedented in racing in that it champions enthusiasts’ names on the side of the car in place of traditional corporate funding. Following the races, the car is displayed in the team’s garage.

Technology Research and Development
In addition to racing, the greater purpose of the business is the funding of research and development of metals, composites, fuels, new engine and supporting-structure designs for the advancement and future of machines for transportation. In 2008, Cool Victory began developing a Concept vehicle designed with a focus on elegance and efficiency. The methods are developed and tested on the racetrack, so the race provides the results for continued research.
