MPI (Max Papis Innovations) was founded in 2009 by legendary race driver Max Papis and his wife Tatiana Fittipaldi Papis. Max and Tatiana share a life-long passion and involvement at the highest forms of racing including Formula 1, Champ Cars, Indy cars, IMSA, Grand-Am, IROC and NASCAR. Based in Mooresville, North Carolina, MPI steering wheels are bred in racing with a precise understanding of performance and safety while taking every aspect of construction and driver needs to heart. Before becoming an MPI product, wheel structures are required to pass rigorous internal quality control tests including a structural torque test and a loaded stress test to simulate the driver's hands on the wheel during a severe impact. Wheels are constructed of the finest quality materials, are ultra-lightweight, and have unmatched durability to meet the specific demands of the intended type of racing. In the extensive MPI line you will find steering wheels custom catered and purpose built for Kart, Quarter Midget, Bandolero, Legends, Late Model, Dirt Track, Drifting, Off-Road, Stock Car and NASCAR. Steering wheel technology, comfort, R&D, an understanding of driver's needs and refined driver safety is evident in MPI products which is why it's the steering wheel of choice by drivers at the top levels of racing.
