About
Originally a French Touring Car team, last year has been bought out by the Italo-Monegasque entrepreneur Alberto Bista and underwent a total restructuring as well as having its headquarters moved to Monaco. With its significant injection of capital and resources, this team aims to make a name for themselves by putting any option on the table and affording to have the best talents available behind the wheel and in the paddock.
Drivers
Fabiana Quintarini
Rank/Archetype: Rookie/Aggressor
Tripwire: @fabifabi_Q
Gender: Female (she/her)
Age: 23
Birthdate: April 29th
Height: 5’ ft 38” in (164 cm)
Birthplace: Sassari, Sardegna, Italy
Interests: Driving, Karate, Karaoke, Partying
{Spoiler}Known as the "Slipstream Cinderella", Fabiana is a driver of extraordinary talent. Behind her bubbly and super energetic personality lies an aggressive fighter that proved herself to be a force to be reckoned with and someone to not fool around with whether behind the wheel or at local videogame tournaments, one of her hobbies; after a blazing debut in the local rally scene during the Trofeo Sardegna back in 2018, Fabiana has climbed ranks at a fast pace, eventually even coming to tryouts for second driver at Bobster Racing Systems, sadly without getting selected. But you know, when a door closes...
Thalia Immelmann
Rank/Archetype: Rookie/Pacesetter
Tripwire: @t_immelman
Gender: Female (she/they)
Age: 25
Birthdate: November 3rd
Height: 5’ ft 31” in (162 cm)
Birthplace: Mainz, Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany
Interests: Racing, Motorbikes, Fencing, Apple cider brewing
{Spoiler}A heir to the fortune of wealthy German millionaire Heinz-Herald Immelmann, Thalia always shown more interest in racing thrills rather than the family's business, even going to form a biker gang on the Autobahn at the age of 16 (and don't tell the family about her tattoos!). As she grew up, her attitude softened up a bit, but not her interest in motorsports, racing as a pay driver for the Abek Team in some hill climb events and being drafted in a Young Talent Driver program sponsored by Mercedes AMG on the Nurburgring. During one of these races, she came under the radar of talent scouts of Crescent Motorsports for her ability to dictate the pace of the race and leave her opponents behind like nobody's business: once she gets behind the wheel, only the race track exists for her and is impossible to deter her concentration.
Maxine Van Der Berg
Rank/Archetype: Rookie/Hotlapper
Tripwire: @supermaxine
Gender: Female (she/her)
Age: 21
Birthdate: December 17th
Height: 6’ ft 2” in (190 cm)
Birthplace: Arnhem, Netherlands
Interests: Racing, Playing Trumpet, Writing
{Spoiler}Some media outlets call her either "Super Maxine" or even "The Lisa Garnier of the Netherlands". However you want to nickname her, Maxine Van Der Berg has always been a special interest for racing talent scouts since the age of 10, when she won the Regional Kart Championship giving a taste of exceptional pace and incredible strategy. Fast and very pretty, she alternates the racing activity with her true passion, creative writing. And a racing-themed novel apparently is already in the works...
Emilia Jurnali
Rank/Archetype: Rookie/Skirmisher
Tripwire: @e-jurnali_crescent
Gender: Non-Binary (they/them)
Age: 23
Birthdate: May 25th
Height: 5’ ft 5” in (167 cm)
Birthplace: Singapore
Interests: Racing, Parkour, Playing bass
{Spoiler}From the blinding lights of Marina Bay, comes the enby oddity in the Crescent roster; Emilia's character has been shaped by many extra-curricular passions, including parkour and playing bass in an alternative rock band. So how did they get involved in racing? Pure accident. A bet, if we want to be honest, but a fortunate line of events where she had the chance to even impress the Crescent Motorsport talent scout. And if her brute force was able to fly her from the East all the way to the Monegasque glamorous roads, maybe we have reason to believe they're dressed to impress.
Staff
Alberto Bista - Team Owner and Manager
Tripwire: @abista_official
Gender: Male (he/him)
Age: 46
Birthdate: January 29th
Height: 5’ ft 8” in (173 cm)
Birthplace: Gregarello, Milan, Italy
Interests: Sports cars, Tennis, Coding, Casino games (with moderation)
{Spoiler}Alberto Bista was a young driver in Junior series in the early '80s and also an old teammate of Bobster Speed; sadly, unlike the latter, his results were incredibly lacking and after understanding that being a driver wasn't for him, he decided to retire and moved to Paris to study Business at the Sorbonne University, where he gained a PHD in Finance. Shortly after, he founded Bista Investissments, a finance firm that became in very few years a force to be reckoned with, to the point that was able to relocate comfortably in the Principality of Monaco. His love for racing somehow remained and last year he acquired the French touring car team Crescent Motorsport and injected capitals and resources in it to get it ready for the future. All in all, unlike most businessmen, Alberto is a very open and friendly person, ready to listen and find a solution to any problem with you. At condition that you respect his expectations, that it.
