One Life - One Passion
Hey everyone!
I’m Horst Saiger – here’s a quick intro…
I grew up in Zeltweg, right next to the legendary Österreichring – now known as the Red Bull Ring. At 23, I entered my first race: the Reitwagen Cup.
The moment those starting lights lit up… it changed everything. From that day on, racing became my life. For the next 25 years, I lived on racetracks around the world.
After my family, it was my everything – my passion, my purpose.
And to be honest, sometimes it even came before my family.
A serious crash during the COVID years showed me it was time to let go.
But the love for racing is still there – quiet now, deep in my heart.
Like a great love you never forget.
