What is Carnivore?


"To achieve anything in this game you must be prepared to dabble in the boundary of disaster."
Sterling Moss

FAMILY

Our love of racing and all things fast begins with our families. For me, being the son and grandson of race car drivers carries a lot of weight, and it almost feels like destiny at times. As Carnivores, we understand that our families may not always agree with our ideas, but they support us and encourage us to chase our dreams. We didn't necessarily want to become gearheads, but it's where we feel at home. This obsession has led us to meet, talk, and share ideas with like-minded people. Car culture inspires us everyday and has become quite a family in itself.

FORITUDE

If racing has taught us anything, it's that giving up is not an option. We believe that some times, your boundaries need to be pushed, otherwise you will never grow. There will be moments when you feel that nothing is going right, and that the stress and fear are going to tear you apart. We as Carnivores use this fear to strengthen ourselves. Racing requires the ability to ride the fine line between perfection and disaster, to be calm in a chaotic and stressful situation, to have the knowledge that everything could go horribly wrong, but it hasn't yet.

FEROCIOUS

Racing at it's core is a very primitive sport. The emotions that it stirs up are very animalistic. The desire to be the best and leave all others in your wake, to dominate all challengers and prove your worth. The savagery of racing can be compared to that of hunting, a driver pushing faster and faster to pass another car is very similar to a hunter sneaking up on it's prey. Carnivores live for this chase. We don't want an easy victory by a mile, we want a fender-banging battle to a hairline finish. It's not about the win, it's about how hard you fought to get it.
