About Grixme – F1 & WRC Guides for Beginners

Your Pit Crew for Demystifying F1 & WRC – No Jargon, Just Passion

Hey there, Racing Newbies! ​

I'm Taisa —a motorsport fanatic, accidental journalist, turned founder of Grixme, your go-to source for F1 and WRC guides for beginners. Think of Grixme as the friend you wish you had when you first heard terms like 'Undercut' or 'Rally1 cars' and thought, 'Wait…what?'

My Racing Wake-Up Call​

Picture this: A confused newbie (me!) at her first F1 Grand Prix, staring at pit crews like they were aliens, and wondering why everyone kept shouting about ‘degradation.’ (Spoiler: They meant tires, not the apocalypse.)

That weekend changed everything. I realized:

  • Racing isn’t just cars going fast—it’s human drama on wheels (with better soundtracks).
  • Fans aren’t just spectators—we’re part of the pit crew, the strategy team, the vibe.
  • Beginners deserve a guide that doesn’t make them feel lost in the paddock.

So in 2023, I built Grixme—a place where curiosity fuels the content, not insider egos.

What We're All About

  • Explain Like I'm New

    We break down rules, tech, and jargon ('What's a safety car?' → 'The track's babysitter'). Weekly race previews even your grandma could follow.

  • Celebrate the Humans

    Drivers aren't robots. Teams aren't machines. We share real stories - like the mechanic who fixes engines while playing jazz, or the rookie who races for her father.

  • Fuel Your Fandom

    Not at the track? No problem. Our guides help you: Sound smart at parties ('Actually, Rally1 hybrids work like this…'). Plan your first race trip (without crying over ticket prices).
