David Garza featured on Sport Life magazine cover

David Garza

David Garza has always given us something to talk about inside race cars and on-track, but this time the lights pointed towards him in a totally different scene, as he was chosen to be on the cover of Sport Life magazine for its June edition. David, who’s starting his third year competing in an international racing series (and his second in a high performance category), is an elite sportsman with a lot of preparation and that’s why the magazine decided to interview him to know the training required to be competitive in his sport. After the story was finished, the editors of Sport Life found enough material to choose David as the principal image of his 57th issue. Also in his story (pages 22-23), the Mexican driver who’s about to turn 20 years old (on June 22nd) talks about his life right now, his concerns, his goals and his reasons to race cars, as well as about the sacrifices that have to be made to stand out in such a competed profession.

“The adrenaline and the speed are things that always have been inside of me and that’s why I leaned for racing. Since I was a kid my dad put me in a motorcycle and I liked so much the sensation of racing at a great speed and of being competitive", said Garza Perez to the publication. “In fact, I like to do extreme sports where the adrenaline is the main guest", he added. “My mother worries for me a lot, she calls me all the time to see how I’ve been and my dad always comes with me everywhere, so actually I’m never alone", he commented in the story. “… as19 year old kids a lot of my friends are partying and with their girlfriends and I am not. Being a professional driver obligates you to grow up faster because you have a lot more responsibilities and you miss a lot of stuff, but you know, the parties are going to be there always and the cars aren’t, so I really prefer the cars", stated David to the magazine.

The next race for the driver from Monterrey, Mexico will take place just one week after his birthday, on June 29th in a track located in the middle of the picturesque Mont Tremblant, Quebec, Canada. After the first two rounds of the 2008 season of the Atlantic Series, David is located on the 11th position (of 24) in the driver standings of the category with 26 points (just 5 points away from sixth place).
