It’s rare for a professional driver to be a successful businessman at the same time. Many chose one route or the other, but Ueno has skillfully developed his T & E franchise into an ever expanding portfolio of tuning wizardry while maintaining a career in racing. His latest project, the Vertice Design BMW E92, isn’t just a sign of his automotive expertise, but it’s also an indication of his passion for motorsport on all levels. Ueno was among the first to compete in D1, and you should expect to see him on the track for many years to come.
