Racing for Freedom.

Team Virage is racing with purpose — to fight human trafficking. In the 2022 season, they will be racing across Europe in the Michelin Le Mans Cup (MLMC) and the Pro/Am division of the European Le Mans Series (ELMS). Team Virage will be sharing about the issue of human trafficking, promoting action, and racing to help make a free world.

”Human trafficking happens in every country, including our own. I've felt an urgency to do something to stop human trafficking for a very long time and am excited to work with The Exodus Road because they are expertly effective in search, rescue, aftercare, and prevention. My hope is that awareness will prompt us all to join the race to end human trafficking.
