Gama Aguilar is a technology and racing junky. Originally born in Mexico, he grew up in his dad’s shop and it was there that his passion for cars was hard-coded. After several years of working in the bleeding edge of technology at Hewlett Packard, Intel and Microsoft, he decided to try and disrupt the motorsports industry with Track Attack. Track Attack is a GPS based lap timer, video recorder and sharing platform for Windows Phone, iOS and Android phones. Gama is an avid racer, going on his second year competing in the PRO3 class and Time Trials with NASA. When he’s not on the track, you’ll find him working as a Senior Product Planner at Microsoft, training on a simulator using Forza and iRacing.
