About Us

The origins of ourOff-Road passion

TECNOSPORT was established in Como, Italy, during the 1980s, fuelled by a genuine passion for adventure. Since its inception, it has evolved into a leader in international Rally Raid, competing in esteemed events like the Dakar and winning the FIA World Cup in both the T2 category (series production vehicles) and the T1 category (prototype cross-country vehicles).

The early experimental projects involved brands such as Mercedes and Range Rover until 1992, when a partnership with Nissan was established. Throughout the 1990s, this collaboration produced numerous T1, T2, and T3 vehicles that significantly impacted both the Italian and global scenes, consistently achieving podium positions and victories.

Building on this experience and its longstanding partnership with Nissan, TECNOSPORT advanced in developing vehicles capable of conquering the harshest deserts and performing across all terrains.

The world of rally raid since the 1990s

From the early 1990s, TECNOSPORT officially entered the global Rally Raid scene, during the years when the Dakar first embraced the formidable challenge of South Africa. Since then, the Como-based team has participated in and won several FIA World Cup events. In 1991, TECNOSPORT’s founder, Maurizio Traglio, himself won the FIA World Cup in the Truck category, driving a Mercedes Unimog.

Today, TECNOSPORT offers both professional and amateur drivers the opportunity to compete in the world’s most prestigious Rally Raid events, with vehicles specifically designed to meet the strictest and most current FIA regulations. The team also manages on-site logistics and delivers comprehensive technical support throughout each event.

FIA Cross Country World cup

Over the years, TECNOSPORT has achieved numerous successes, winning trophies, titles, and earning great satisfaction, culminating in the reconfirmation of the FIA World Cup title in 2008.

It was in that year that the team claimed victory in the FIA Cross Country World Cup (T2 category) with the crew of Artur Ardavichus and Denis Berezovskiy. The same driver repeated this achievement in 2015.

More recently, TECNOSPORT has competed in the Dakar Classic in Saudi Arabia, strengthening its presence in the Classic category and reaffirming its commitment to one of the most prestigious events in international motorsport.

The crews supported by the team successfully tackled the demanding stages of the Saudi desert, consistently reaching the finish line and securing numerous top-ten finishes.

Throughout its history, TECNOSPORT has competed and achieved victories alongside many distinguished drivers and co-drivers, including: Paolo Bedeschi, Denis Berezovsky, Miki Biasion, Daniele Bottallo, Elena Borroni, Rudy Briani, Valentina Casella, Sandra Castellani, Gian Paolo Cavagna, Filippo Colnaghi, Maurizio Colombo, Giacomo Clerici, Urbano Clerici, Jean Paul (Polo) Cotrett, Lucas Cruz, Maurizio Dominella, Vittorio Emanuele di Savoia, Franco Germanetti, Dominique Housieaux, Joanna Lemos, Fabian Lurquin, Jean Marie Lurquin, Cameron Moore, Jose Luis Monterde, Lucky Montorfano, Elder Oliveira, Edi Orioli, Adriano Panatta, Francesco Pece, Oscar Polli, Francesco Proietti, Clay Regazzoni, Jérôme Riviere, Irene Saderini, Klaus Seppi, Kenjiro Shinozuka, Salvador Servia, Harvey Taz, Lorenzo Traglio, Maurizio Traglio, Rafael Tornabel, Philippe Wambergue.

Service and support make the difference

Over the years, the team has established itself as a recognised benchmark for many passionate drivers, mechanics, and motorsport enthusiasts, owing to its consistent participation in the most prestigious competitions.

Throughout the 1990s and 2000s, many professional and gentleman drivers competed with a TECNOSPORT vehicle, benefiting from the expertise of an experienced crew and first-class service, with mechanics and support vehicles deployed both on the track and across challenging routes. These elements proved vital to a team committed to overcoming the toughest challenges of long and demanding rallies — in Africa and beyond.

The experience of the como racing team

Since the 1980s, the Como-based team has collaborated with Nissan, developing a wide range of models, including the Patrol GR-Y60/Y61, the Nissan Terrano 1/2, the King Cab, the Navara, and the first and second-generation Pathfinder, as well as the notable Patrol Y62. Over the years, the team has created, designed, and engineered customised solutions to ensure peak performance and reliability in competition.

Vehicle design and preparation also include the development of bespoke chassis and prototypes, specifically created for each client and tailored to the type of competition they plan to face.
