Meet Torsten Gross, a C6 quadriplegic who discovered his need for speed after the 36th traffic ticket and a racing experience day at Lime Rock Park in Connecticut. Now he competes against non-disabled drivers in his 981 Cayman retrofitted with hand controls. In order to share his passion for motorsports, Torsten launched the Just Hands Foundation, an organization that gives anyone who uses hand controls to drive the opportunity to get onto a track with an instructor. And…spoiler alert…his new TV Show Just Hands: For the Love Of Racing—which follows his racing adventures—comes out in June. Don’t miss your chance to hear about his epic journey.
