HRX: A Company Owned by A Racer that Understands Racers
Recently, I traveled to Italy to take in the sights of the beautiful countryside, to see some friends and see how the motorsports in Italy is going. I met a man by the name of Ago Alberghino, the owner of HRX Motorsport, a new brand in which Driving Impressions will be joining with to bring into the US. HRX has quite the following overseas among racers and teams but Ago himself is a racer so he understands the core of the motorsports business. HRX specializes in suits, seats, gloves and more for the basic weekend warrior to the professional track racer. Below, you will find details about Ago himself as well as HRX (including a downloadable catalog). All suits are FIA approved and the quality is amazing!
