Generation III
A child's dream
The third generation transformed childhood wonder into competition: paddocks, silent cockpits, karting, touring cars, GT racing, and the Number 6.
From the age of four, Emanuele Ademaro Massa, son of Ademaro and grandson of Adriano, followed his father to the races. With eyes full of wonder, he watched trophies and cups come home, each one a fragment of glory that fueled his dreams.
At the family villa in Milan, race cars arrived on trailers still warm from the track. Emanuele would climb inside, sit in a seat too large for him, grip the thin leather steering wheel, and imagine himself already flying down a circuit.
The silence of the engine intimidated him, like a beast asleep beneath the hood. His hand would brush against the keys in the dashboard, only to pull back at once, afraid to awaken the creature.
The strange scent of the cockpit, gasoline, sweat, and speed, became part of his imagination. Wearing his father's helmet, still marked by effort and moments only a driver can understand, he was already racing at full speed long before he could reach the pedals.
His toys were small race cars that he sent darting across the family's billiard table, recreating the feats of great champions.
At six, he raced around the villa's garden on minibikes brought home from the paddock, taking apart and reassembling carburetors and fairings. At eight, Ademaro took his hands and taught him how to tame a real car in that same garden, the place that became his first racetrack.
At twelve, karting arrived. It was love at first sight. Karting taught him discipline, racing lines, braking, and overtaking.
His father passed on the secrets of a lifetime in racing, while Adriano watched from the sidelines, advising and encouraging him. With Emanuele Ademaro Massa, the third generation of the Massa racing dynasty was born.
After outstanding results in karting, Emanuele debuted in the Touring Car Championship at eighteen and immediately won his first race. With his father and grandfather by his side, he built a career across Italy and abroad, collecting victories, trophies, and experience.
Like Ademaro before him, he moved naturally from Touring Cars to GTs, carrying the Number 6 on his helmet as the eternal symbol of his lineage.
For twenty years, Emanuele raced at home and beyond borders, accumulating hundreds of races and dozens of trophies. When his first daughter was born, he chose to retire from competition, closing a glorious chapter without ever extinguishing the flame.
Just as Adriano had passed the flame to Ademaro, and Ademaro had passed it to Emanuele, Emanuele did the most important thing of all: he passed the passion on to his son, Filippo.
