Torsten Gross is a maverick in every sense of the word. Not happy with the status quo, mixed with his entrepreneurial drive, he enjoys the challenge of the word “no.” As a C6 Quadriplegic since the age of 15, he has heard that word often, yet still finds his way to “yes.” This drive has led him to become the world’s only Quadriplegic who is a Rescue Scuba Diver, completing 12 marathons in 12 months and into his latest adventure as a race car driver. In 2023, Torsten competed in the International GT, HSR and World Racing League races in his hand-controlled Porsche 981 Cayman. Alongside his adrenaline-seeking events, Torsten has had a successful marketing career as a strategist. He currently works as the Chief Marketing Officer of MateriaMX. He is also the co-founder of Just Hands Foundation, a charity that helps hand-control drivers enter the world of performance driving.
