Who's Bengio?
It all started more than 15 years ago when Alessandro Begnozzi, a promising Kart driver, suffered a serious chest injury in an ordinary racing accident that almost forced him to stop racing. After realizing the inadequacy of ordinary rib protectors, his father Stefano decided to design a new product that combines an ergonomic design with higher safety standards. He spent over a year developing the ultimate protector, involving five-time world champion Danilo Rossi and the entire DR Racing Team for continuous testing and improvement.
