Name: Regina Lam (prefers Gina)
Age: 25
Disciplines Faced: Touring Cars (WTCC/BTCC), Endurance Racing (GT3/Le Mans), Rally (Amateur Leagues), Autocross, Drifting, Street Racing, Drag Racing
Appearance:
Gina stands around 5'10 and weighs in at a mere 135 pounds, making her slim enough to be able to fit into the tight confines of a purpose-made race car. Her hairstyle varies from time to time, but come time to race, she always has it down, no matter the length or style, just for the sake of comfort, convenience, and safety. Outside the race, like her hairstyle, her fashion varies as well, depending on her environment and trend at the time, but she pretty much exclusively wears only Ray-Ban and Oakley eyewear, just for the sake of preference. On the track, she dons a Sparco racing suit that complies with FIA standards, littered with logos of their sponsors and colored with their team's color scheme. Gina also packs on matching gloves, and wears a Carbon Fibre helmet from Sparco that complies with FIA standards.
Nationality: Chinese-American
History: Regina was born in Guangzhou, Guangdong, China on August 9th, 1989, being the only child at the moment. Her family emigrated to the United States when Gina was just 7 months old, and found themselves situated in Pasadena, California, where Gina would have 3 other siblings due to the absence of regulations controlling the amount of children an individual could have. As she grew up, she was often around her father and he would often tell her about the magic of cars, how they worked, and how they flowed together. Her father had been racing before, racing touring cars on the likes of Macau GP, Suzuka, Twin Ring Motegi, Tsukuba, Fuji Circuit, etc. However, he had been forced to retire once Gina was born, using his winnings to get his family moved to America. Gina grew up surrounded by cars, and at the age of 17, she finally was able to take her first endeavor into the racing world. Her father had been building a Miata that had just been completed, and allowed Gina to use it for an Autocross event held by her high school. Gina took first place overall, taking advantage of the theory her father taught her, the way the Miata was set up, and such. This victory was pretty much the start of her career, as she began to take part in races more often, and in different disciplines. Soon, she was approached by Forge Motorsports, to drive a Touring Car for them along with their other driver. She gladly accepted, and made quite the marks in her rookie year. She started a year after the previous driver, and so she had a lot to prove to get their respect. She got as many poles as she could, and was later asked to move onto GT3, where she is now driving an Audi R8 LMS GT.
