Founder Story TWENTYSEVEN Automotive

There are moments when you know: if I don't take this step now, I'll regret it for the rest of my life. For me, that moment was founding TWENTYSEVEN Automotive.

Years in the background – and then the leap

For a long time, I was the face of Paragraph5. I organised and ran Test Days for professional racing teams from the most renowned GT and LMP racing series in the world – GT3, GT4, GT2, LMP2, LMP3, LMH. Circuits such as the Circuit Paul Ricard, Spa-Francorchamps and the Motorland Aragon. Precision work in a world where milliseconds decide between victory and defeat. I supported racing teams preparing for the 24 Hours of Le Mans. It was intense. It was passionate. And I learned an incredible amount along the way.

But at some point you realise 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 of TWENTYSEVEN Automotive

What TWENTYSEVEN means

27 isn't a random number. It's my number. It runs through my life like a common thread. Whether it's my daughter's birthday, my wife's or my own – all of them fall on the 27th of the month. It stands for the path, the stories and the races that have made me who I am today. Whenever the 27 was on a car, I ended up on the podium. The opening of the Nürburgring Nordschleife, the most demanding racetrack in the world: nineteen – what a coincidence – twenty-seven. And so Paragraph5 became TWENTYSEVEN Automotive – and with this company I am fulfilling my biggest dream: running my own business in motorsport.

With TWENTYSEVEN Trackdays, I don't want to offer my customers just any trackday. I want to offer them the best trackday on the market. That sounds bold, but I mean it. Every circuit, every event, every detail – from catering to timing – is designed so that at the end of the day our participants say: “That was the best thing I've ever experienced on a racetrack.”

What we offer – for everyone who wants to put their foot down

At TWENTYSEVEN, we don't think in pigeonholes. Whether you want to take your road-going sports car to the Hockenheimring for an evening after work, or your Porsche 992 GT3 Cup needs a professional set-up weekend at the Mugello Circuit – we have the right format for you.

The community: the heart of TWENTYSEVEN

What excited me most at Paragraph5 was never the technology alone – it was the people. The mechanics who are still laughing at 40 degrees in the garage. The gentleman drivers who finally find their ideal line after years. The teams who sit down together over a drink after a perfect Test Day.

I wanted to build this energy into TWENTYSEVEN. With us, it's not about who has the most expensive car or sets the fastest lap time. It's about being among like-minded people. People who prefer carbon to carbonara. Who combine a holiday in Tuscany with Mugello and a holiday in the Eifel with the Nordschleife. Who love longitudinal and lateral acceleration in equal measure. We don't show off with a sports car – we enjoy it.

Sporting & fair – at TWENTYSEVEN these aren't empty phrases, they're the standard we live by every day. On 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 road-legal sports car.

Europe's best circuits – our territory

In 2026 we're running events at the Mugello Circuit, Bilster Berg, Brno, the Hockenheimring, the TT-Circuit Assen, the Nürburgring, the Salzburgring, the Pannonia-Ring and the Misano World Circuit. On top of that come the 4PROS Test Days at Portimão, Zandvoort, Barcelona, the Nürburgring GP, Spa-Francorchamps, Magny-Cours and the Circuit Paul Ricard.

This isn't a list – it's an invitation. An invitation to travel Europe the only true way: on asphalt, flat out, in the right company.

Why now is the right time

The trackday market is growing. More and more petrolheads are discovering that a racetrack isn't an unattainable place – but an experience you can earn, plan and enjoy. At the same time, the number of providers delivering exactly that is growing too: mass events without a 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'm building the latter. Every single day.

Straight roads are for fast cars – turns are for fast drivers.
