Every great racetrack has a personality.

Every great racetrack has a personality. Some corners are patient. Some are vicious. Some feel like they’re testing you on purpose. Whether it’s a blind mountain drop in California, nearly thirteen miles of forest in Germany, a harbor-side street circuit in Monaco, or a high-banked oval where the fastest stock cars and open-wheel racers in the world run door to door for hundreds of laps. Race fans everywhere talk about tracks like they’re alive.

Track Monsters asks a simple question: what if they really were alive?

Each book in the series takes one real, famous racetrack from somewhere in the world and turns its most notorious feature into a monster — a creature whose scary reputation turns out to be a literal, true detail about the real track underneath it. Every monster is discovered the same way: by the same two curious kids, Enzo and his little sister Leni, and their grandfather Vito, a retired weekend racer who’s spent more time around these tracks than he’d like to admit.

I’m Vittorio — Motorsport runs in my family — from my great-uncle, who founded a renowned performance-piston company, to my father and brother, gifted mechanics and lifelong racing fans. I created these stories to pass that passion and connection on to a new generation.

From California to Germany, Monaco to the biggest ovals in America, every famous track hides a monster of its own — and every story is built on real facts, real numbers, real racing, alongside the fiction.

Curiosity over fear, every time. Something looks scary because nobody’s taken the time to understand it. A kid does anyway. It turns out to be worth knowing. If there’s one thing we hope every book in this series leaves behind, it’s that.

New tracks. New monsters. Same real world underneath every story.
