Bios[]
- A driver who has competed and triumphed in some of Europe's most intense races, Maximo is the consummate professional, one of the first to be chosen for the Street Breed team. He can shift at hyper-speeds, but he refuses to "abuse" his Pontiac Firebird by performing foolish stunts. Elegancy, arrogant, a lover of life's pleasures, this athlete from Rome, Italy lifts his nose at "surf rats" and "dirt riders" who don't treat racecar driving as the sport of kings. - World Race Comic 14/35
