Serena Rapezzi was born in Florence, the cradle of the Renaissance, on the 7th January 1974.

Even as a little girl she was attracted by the male lifestyle and therefore she has a typical tomboy attitude. Her passion is engines and speed. Her main interest was the two wheeled kind, but a serious motorcycle accident compelled her to give up her artistic gym activity and subsequently her interest has moved to the car competitions, Formula 1 and racetrack races and rallying.

In 1996 she made her debut as co-driver during the “Alpe della Luna rally”. After this she attended a training course in order to become a course marshal and rally secretary. For several years now she is on the staff of the Mugello international racetrack as course marshal.

In 2000 she successfully completed a co-driver course and in 2001 she finally made her debut as a rally driver and just the year after she obtained her international rally driving licence.

Further experiences: Smart Brabus on track racing, rally on snow and ice, rally on gravel, rallycross, snowscooters, waterscooters.
