Driven by Passion.
How I left Paragraph5 behind to build what track days truly should be – and why the number 27 means everything in the process.
There are moments when you know: If I don't take this step now, I will regret it for the rest of my life. For me, that moment was founding TWENTYSEVEN Automotive.
Years in the background – then the leap
For a long time, I was the face of Paragraph5. I organized and conducted test days for professional racing teams from the most renowned GT and LMP racing series in the world – GT3, GT4, GT2, LMP2, LMP, LMH. Tracks like Circuit Paul Ricard, Spa-Francorchamps, Motorland Aragon. Precision work in a world where milliseconds decide victories and defeats. I accompanied racing teams preparing for the 24 Hours of Le Mans. It was intense. It was passionate. And I learned an incredible amount.
But at some point, you realize that you don't just want to be part of a brand. You want to write your own story.
I no longer wanted to drive for someone else – I wanted to take the wheel myself.- Pascal Pregizer, Founder TWENTYSEVEN Automotive
What TWENTYSEVEN means
27 is not a random number. It's my number. It runs like a common thread through my life. Be it the birthdays of my daughter, my wife, or myself. All on the 27th of the month. It stands for the journey, the stories, and the races that have made me who I am today. As soon as 27 was on a vehicle, I was on the podium. The opening of the Nürburgring Nordschleife. The most demanding racetrack in the world. Nineteen - what a coincidence - twenty-seven. Thus, Paragraph5 became TWENTYSEVEN Automotive – and with this founding, I am fulfilling my biggest dream: self-employment in motorsports.
With TWENTYSEVEN Trackdays, I don't just want to offer my customers any track day. I want to offer them the best track day available on the market. That sounds grand, but I'm serious. Every track, every event, every detail – from catering to timing – is designed with the expectation that our participants will say at the end of the day: "That was the best experience I've ever had on a racetrack."
What we offer – for everyone who wants to hit the gas

The Community: The Heart of TWENTYSEVEN
What excited me most about Paragraph5 was never the technology alone – it was the people. The mechanics who still laugh at 40 degrees box temperature. The gentleman drivers who finally find their ideal line after years. The teams who sit together with a glass after a perfect test day.
I wanted to incorporate this energy into TWENTYSEVEN. For us, it's not about who has the most expensive car or drives the fastest lap time. It's about being among like-minded people. People who prefer carbon to carbonara. Who associate Tuscan holidays with Mugello and Eifel holidays with the Nordschleife. Who love longitudinal and lateral acceleration equally. We don't distinguish ourselves with a sports car – we enjoy it.
Sporty & fair – these are not empty phrases at TWENTYSEVEN, this is our daily standard. On the track and off it. We respect each other, we help each other, and we celebrate together – whether it's a GT3 race car or a street-legal sports car.
Europe's best racetracks – our territory
In 2026, we will be hosting events at Mugello Circuit, Bilster Berg, Brno, Hockenheimring, TT-Circuit Assen, Nürburgring, Salzburgring, Pannonia-Ring, and Misano World Circuit. In addition, there will be 4PROS test days at Portimao, Zandvoort, Barcelona, Nürburgring GP, Spa-Francorchamps, Magny-Cours, and Circuit Paul Ricard.
This is not a list – this is an invitation. An invitation to experience Europe in the only true way: on asphalt, at full throttle, in the right company.
Why now is the right time
The track day market is growing. More and more petrolheads are discovering that a racetrack is not an unattainable place – but an experience that can be earned, planned, and enjoyed. At the same time, the number of providers offering exactly that is growing: mass events without soul.
I spent many years in the professional world. I know the difference between an event that works and an event you never forget. With TWENTYSEVEN Automotive, I am building the latter. Every single day.

See you on the track,
