SignatureMT | 53 Global Rallycross (GRC) Series. GRC tracks have been described as "some of the most diverse and technical challenges in the world of motorsport. Between half a mile and a mile in length, they feature a mixture of dirt and tarmac, as well as a 70-foot jump. Red Bull GRC tracks can be built almost anywhere, leading to incredibly varied layouts." (www.redbullglobalrallycross.com) Drivers, owners and fans have responded enthusiastically to GRC track layouts, racing for- mats, and the buildout of the cars. "It is so hard to describe how fun these cars are to drive and the adrenaline rush they create out on the GRC courses" Arpin stated. "With around 600 horsepower under the hood of a Ford Fiesta, the Loenbro Motorsports #00 accelerates from 0-60 miles per hour in under 2 seconds and is like an angry wasp that is just buzzing around, ready to launch." Although he's raced an incredibly diverse range of cars, including a multi-year stint with the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series on world renowned tracks like Daytona, Talladega and Texas Motor Speedway, running wide open with Loenbro Motorsports and the Red Bull GRC is clearly where Arpin has staked his future. "Paul Leach has become a mentor to me. He's my spoer on the race track and co-owner of our team, but has also taken the time to invest in me as a person. Paul and Jon are such genuinely good people that you'd never guess they've had the financial success that they have had. ey give so much back to the community that you never hear about, because they don't do it for the credit. ey do it because they want to help people and do the right thing. " LOENBRO'S 5 CORE PRINCIPLES: 1. Do the right thing every time. 2. Lead by example. Don't ask anyone to do something you wouldn't do yourself. 3. Give back to the community 4. Do what you say you will do and more. Under promise, over deliver. 5. Take Action! "These 5 core principles have grown from scratch, a mammoth company that puts food on the table of hundreds of families. Anyone can come up with a creative concept or discuss inno- vative ideas; Those that are successful, actually step out, get off their ass and do something." — Steve Arpin
