Racing with picobello
My name is Rafael ‘Picobello’ Gwizdak and I am 13 years old. I was born in Spain, however my family is quite multicultural, my father is Polish and my mother comes from Brazil. For the last 12 years, I have lived in Kreuzlingen, Switzerland where I attend 7th grade.
I speak fluently 4 languages (Polish, Portuguese, German and English) and additionally I study French at school.
My biggest hobby since I can remember is motorization and motorsports. Hence, since I turned 4, I started driving a go-kart during my holidays in Poland. Later, when I turned 8, I started racing in indoor karting competitions.
Some 3 years ago, I tried racing outdoor (sports karting) and now I regularly participate in official races.

My Training
hard work pays off
Becoming great at any sport takes hard work and dedication. It is without any exceptions that all professional drivers need to practice and become masters of their technique in order to move to the next level. This training can take many forms and can be combined with other sports.
Kickboxing
Kickboxing training helps me with my focus, strength, reflex and flexibility.
Bicycling
Bicycling builds my endurance and strength, and it’s super exciting.
Hockey
Hockey is a fast game that keeps me out of trouble in winter. Speed and controlled falling on to the ice help me to avoid major injuries during karting racing.
