Dainius is also a professional parachutist who performed more than 250 parachute jumps at the height of 4 kilometres. Speed provides you with the feel of freedom. Maybe that is the reason why it is so easy to develop an addiction to it. Autosports have always fascinated me as a perfect example of team work which is functioning as a single mechanism. Not only speed is important here, but also strategy, a fast reaction to unforeseen circumstances – all of that becomes useful even if you are wearing a tie. If you lose your concentration even for a moment, you will be surpassed. That is why it is always much more comfortable to be in front and leave your competitors in the cloud of dust. And if one day I will be able to summon this cloud when going through the dessert of Sahara, I will put a check mark next to the entry in a list of my biggest dreams – “Take Part and Finish in the rally of “Paris-Dakar”.

Number of prize winning places - 20. Highest achievement: A2000+ Class Lithuanian Champion of the 2012 Lithuanian Car Tour Racing Championship.

Number of prize winning places - 20. Highest achievement: A2000+ Class Lithuanian Champion of the 2012 Lithuanian Car Tour Racing Championship. A possibility to be involved in autosports is itself a dream come true for me. And even though car racing encouraged me to try myself out in water and quad racing, nothing can compare to the feeling when I am waiting for a start while clenching the steering wheel of a car.
If all concentrate in our jobs just like in a racing track, if we thought only about the ways of successfully reaching the finish line, how to resist the provocations by other competitors and how to keep going through the hardest periods, I think that everyone one of us would always be a winner.

In autosports since 2004. Highest achievements: Champion title of “Fast Lap” 2012. The best lap completion time of the day in “Time Attack Demo 2013” in Estonia. After the first amateur participation in the racing track I understood that I have a new hobby. At first, a will to drive just like my more experienced friends do, to know technical characteristics of a car, to learn a perfect way to control a car was the main factor of thriving of perfection. When my experience grew, a will to improve was replaced by a need to try out new technical decisions, to know what, how and why is working the way it is working. I started to feel the car much better, was able to foresee and avoid situations that might lead to an accident. Since I am my own mechanic in the races, I can change the wheel extremely fast.
I enjoy the starting thrill and adrenaline overload. The sort of excitement that you experience in the race is never going to come on the street, unless, of course, you are an absolute idiot. All in all, it is a wonderful way to recharge and clear your mind, meditation of some kind. Racing is satisfaction, a win is an icing on the cake, and both of them together – absolute satisfaction. Participation in “World Time Attack” race in Australia would be just like that.
