MIR® Raceline is proud to announce a full automotive racing sponsorship to American Formula 4 United States Championship Powered by Honda race pilot Angela Durazo.

MIR® Raceline was born in 1983, but its story begins a few years earlier and has its roots in high fashion. In 1978 the creation, by the hand of Bruno Mazzeschi, of "Confezioni Sabina" dates back: a small tailor-made workshop inside which clothes for internationally renowned designers were produced, such as ARMANI, VERSCE, VALENTINO, CAVALLI., For more information about MIR® Raceline, visit: http://www.mirraceline.com/en/chi-siamo/
