ALL CAR RACING was founded in 1990 by Mario Gardano, a historic figure in the tuning sector and long-time President of ANPEA (National Association of Italian Electronic Tuning) and board member of ASCAR (Supercar Tuners Association). With deep respect and gratitude for his legacy, the company continues its mission today under the leadership of Enrico Papini, current owner, who has been actively involved in the company’s technical development and operations for over three decade.
ALL CAR RACING is a market leader in electronic tuning, producing highly competitive solutions designed to optimize the performance and reduce the emissions of internal combustion engines with electronic ignition/injection systems.
In addition to road car applications, ALL CAR RACING is also active in the motorsport sector, where it has achieved great success both nationally and internationally. Since its first year, the company has worked hard to break into the automotive electronics field—traditionally reserved for large companies like BOSCH, IAW Marelli, Lucas, Siemens, and AC Delco.
On a global scale, no specific literature existed on this topic, except for what those major manufacturers provided to their authorized service networks—limited to hardware components, not software related to ignition and fuel injection systems.
Due to rapid technological advancements, the company has invested heavily in reverse engineering and vehicle testing to understand and improve these systems without errors. Almost all company profits have been reinvested in research and development. This commitment has allowed ALL CAR RACING to achieve its current knowledge base and the experience that makes it a European leader in the field.
ALL CAR RACING first introduced this specialization to the Italian market at the Bologna Motor Show in 1992. Since then, more than 200 authorized centers have been established in Italy, along with 60 in Europe and others in Argentina and Brazil. In Italy, the lack of legislation protecting intellectual property in this field has led to a proliferation of copycat companies producing similar software.
ALL CAR RACING’s winning formula includes: in-depth training for clients, free support to all authorized centers, continuous research, high-quality products, and advanced technology.
Core Business and Innovation
Whenever a new vehicle hits the market, ALL CAR RACING acts quickly to obtain it—whether by purchase, rental, or through the support of dealers, customers, or friends—to begin analysis and development.
The company designs and builds additional MPUs (microprocessor units), either internally or in collaboration with external software/hardware experts. These MPUs work alongside standard vehicle systems to meet specific performance needs, especially through custom software adjustments.
ALL CAR RACING’s solutions are targeted at:
Car owners dissatisfied with stock performance
Motorsport teams, tuners, and drivers
Authorized workshops and dealerships
Companies and public institutions with vehicle fleets
Armored vehicle owners looking to compensate for added weight
Police forces, customs services, and judiciary bodies needing more power and acceleration
Competition
Compared to ALL CAR RACING, most competitors are technologically behind. While they may attempt to copy or rework its software, they lack the technical background and experience to create truly innovative products.
Many of these companies operate primarily as commercial businesses with broad sales networks. ALL CAR RACING, by contrast, is deeply focused on engineering excellence, which can make commercial expansion more challenging—especially in finding skilled technical salespeople. However, the company has recently entered national sales agreements with firms operating in automotive-related industries to strengthen its market presence while maintaining its technical edge.
