JOSÉ - TEAM MANAGER

Since he was only 6 years old, Jose was clear that he wanted to live and breathe motorsport. With experience in real world racing, he found that Sim Racing gave him the opportunity to work inside the sport as a professional. He is well-connected within the Spanish Sim Racing community and understands what it takes to race professionally.

After a career of 11 years in Sim Racing as co-partner of CES sim school in Spain and as a competitive driver, he finally took on a new role in 2019 and says,

“I’m super proud to be the Spanish Team Fordzilla captain”.

ANGELO- AMBASSADOR AND GAMING CONSULTANT

Angelo has been playing video games since he was 3 years old. His grandpa used to play Super Mario and Zelda with him - now, 27 years later, he is the team captain of Fordzilla Germany.

As a YouTuber and streamer, you will find Angelo on stage at events like Gamescom or ESL and working with Ford on new projects with Team Fordzilla.

“I love the idea of building our own eSports Team from scratch and being part of it since the beginning. I am very passionate about this project – and that’s why I put all my energy into it.”

SARA - AMBASSADOR

Sara "Kurolily" Stefanizzi is an Italian variety streamer, who has been on Twitch since 2013. She has been a passionate gamer since she was a child, growing up with point-&-click adventures like The Secret of Monkey Island and old-school GDR like Neverwinter Nights, Sacred and more. She also enjoys trading card games and has achieved remarkable results in Hearthstone and Magic: Arena tournaments.

Sara loves to role-play and she is a hungry reader; especially horror, fantasy and sci-fi. Her favourite writer is Stephen King.

Sara has been involved in the Fordzilla project since autumn 2019 at Italian Games Week and she loves to broadcast her races to the community. She co-hosts a TV show in Italy about competitive gaming, House of Esports.

She owns two lovely cats named Lili (The Princess) and Baloo (the cute, Chubby One).

“Working with Ford is a dream come true and it is an honour to build an Esports team with such a Historical brand. It’s an exciting challenge that we take on every day!”

DONALD - AMBASSADOR

Donald is a voice actor - he is the French voice of Spider-Man, plus a list of many other characters, too numerous to name. He is producer and host for Erace, the first Sim Racing talk show on TV, and is also an official French commentator for Gran Turismo. He became Fordzilla’s team captain for France in October 2019.

Donald was a professional stunt driver but stopped after a “big crash”. Now he races for several eSports series whenever he gets the chance.

He has been gaming since 1989 and has never stopped. His interest in Sim Racing started when he bought a Japanese version of Gran Turismo to get his hands on it earlier than everybody else. His second crush was on Forza Motorsport 2 a long time after. Today, he plays everything he can find.

“I've been a Ford enthusiast for a long time - it was my first brand car so there’s a lot of good memories. I was a (lucky) owner of the first Focus RS series. So, yes… I like racing and sports cars! My job in Fordzilla is to communicate and be a relay for everybody, to help build our team. I'm very proud of it. Go blue!”
